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…
Sunday was the big day! The Congenital Heart Walk of Greater Los Angeles. The event that I haven’t shut up about. The event that I’ve been raising money for. The event that will help fund more CHD research, which we desperately need. You know. That one. You probably donated a couple bucks! There were a LOT people there!…
We are doing so much better today. I mean, yes I’m kind of exhausted. It is not easy keeping a busy body like Stevie at home to recover. I feel my battery completely drained by the end of the day. Which I guess isn’t that different from most days. But I actually got a good…
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…
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…
Well, true to form, I somehow make myself really busy and overwhelmed right before we have a big thing coming up. Stevie’s been approved for his eyelid surgery (1 of 2) scheduled for June 17th. A bunch of doctor appointments and pre-ops go along with that. And instead of trying to stay calm and keep…
It’s been awhile since I updated you guys on how Stevie is doing. And since he is my most popular blog topic, I thought it was about time. So here’s Stevie as of April 2014: He is going to preschool 2 hours a day. He loves it. He is getting 30 minutes of Speech, OT and…
Sleep. Oh sweet sleep. It has never come easy for Stevie, thus making it difficult suck for us. And, in fact, I get paranoid talking about, blogging about it, thinking about it, out of fear of jinxing the luck. But here we go anyway. Paul came up with a new system. I was resistant at first.…
In shocking Mommy Fail news, I forgot Stevie had spring break this week. We drove him all the way to school and realized no one was even there before it dawned on me. Hashtag forehead slap. I had already scheduled a Disneyland shoot on Monday and since my clients are part of the Stevie Fan…
It’s no secret that Stevie can be… difficult. And I’m being so very kind when I say this. Yesterday he threw such a tantrum leaving the park, that I literally had to drag him by his arms all the way to the car. And when we got to the car, I was so frustrated, I…
