Today was long and today was hot. But none of what we did is important, other than Stevie’s cardiologist appointment. I don’t know how much detail to give, so I’ll start with this: everything is stable, and we’ll go back in six months. Huzzah! If that’s all you wanted to know, skip ahead. If you’re…
The heat is on it’s way. BOOOO!!! I was almost starting to think maybe I had predicted our weather patterns wrong. We’ve had such a nice, pleasant start to August I was feeling regrets that I didn’t include more pants in Part 2 of my Summer Capsule. But a quick glance at the report this…
Stevie and I had a good start to the day, which also felt like a good start to the week — taking a nice long walk this morning. But by around 2pm, we were both in full on meltdown mode. Truly? I don’t know how these next few months are going to look. I’m hella…
From the looks of my Instagram, and how often I reach for this secondhand sweater, I would guess I’ve worn it at least 10-12 times in the 4 months since I started my capsule. It’s definitely a favorite, and one that I think I wear “all the time”. But looking at my wardrobe tracker shows…
We usually reserve Descanso Gardens for the holidays, because they have a spectacular light display. But as I’ve been taking suggestions for places to visit while still avoiding crowds (not an easy task in L.A), this spot came up a lot. You have to reserve your time to avoid crowding, but I was still nervous…
It has been such a huge adjustment for me that during the pandemic my energy is constantly and consistently zapped. Of course, on top of the stress of corona life, I’ve said before that this season is eerily similar to the newborn stage with Stevie, where I am needed at 100% capacity ALL THE TIME.…
This is, indeed, a jumpsuit turned romper. Correct me if I’m using the wrong terminology but, in my head a jumpsuit is pants and a romper is shorts. Because clearly… shorts are for romping. I actually liked this when it was a jumpsuit too. But when I got my Everlane jumpsuit, I knew between the…
When I sit down to write, I am always so very optimistic. A cup of coffee at arms length. A clean desk. A cracked window for a nice breeze. But it’s never long before my coffee, quiet work station, and brain are all completely overrun by a loud little dude named Stevie. Sometimes just the…
First off, here is a quick review of the 37-piece summer capsule I started with in May (it was 38 pieces by the end), along with the outfits I have worn over the past 3.5 months. Some of the looks over time were repeat outfits or just never got documented/posted. But 36 unique outfits isn’t…
This first paragraph is always the hardest one to write. I used to love blabbing about the mundane day to day nonsense, but my writer’s block has been strong for the last… oh, 2 years or so. LOL. Today, I just have nothing much to say. It’s been a quiet-ish week. I’ve argued with family…
