You may have already seen this on Instagram and/or Facebook. But Stevie just learned how to give a real hug! Oooooh! To feel his chubby little arms squeeze around my neck… I mean, I can’t even describe it. I felt butterflies shwooshing around in my tummy. I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders. I…
While the last couple weeks have pushed me to my limits, this past weekend had some really… fulfilling moments, helping to put me back in a little better state of mind. Not only does crying like a baby help, but I worked on Friday. If it had been anything other than a wedding, I probably…
You know how life is really weird and all, right? Yeah. Ups and downs and all arounds. Being high, then being low, then getting stuck in the middle like a bad hair part. Sometimes you’re overwhelmed to the point of tears and sometimes you can’t think of a single thing to do that seems more important than…
Preschool is back in session. That is all.
A few months ago, I spotted some water balloons at Target and remembered how fun those were as a kid! In the cart they go. Along with a bubble machine, a kite, and a big ball for Grandma’s house. All the things you need for summer, right? The bubble machine was a hit. The big…

We are home. Fast, right?! We woke up at 4:15 am and made it home by 10:30 am. Sounds easy enough! Oh but it’s not. There’s so much more. What you didn’t see was all the tears and prayers these past weeks leading up to this. All the doubts going back and forth between my…
I’m sure all first-time parents do this to some extent. We have these expectations, and these rules, and this big list of nevers. When I’m a mom, I’ll never say this. When I’m a dad, I’ll never do that. When I’m a parent, I’ll be the best. I did it. A lot. I’d look at…
You may have seen on Facebook that I’m participating in the Congenital Heart Walk taking place on here at Griffith Park on June 29th. I’ve never been involved in anything like this before, so I’m pretty excited to see what it’s all about. I’m part of the Hye Hearts Team and we are looking to raise…
