My friend Dacy recently posted about how quarantine has allowed her to explore what she looks like without makeup/hair/general “corrections” to her appearance. I really related to what she was saying. I so often struggle with my own self-image and am quick to criticize the way I look in my natural state. It’s become even…
We had a fairly productive weekend for a change. On Saturday, we spent some time emptying the in-laws garage because of a water leak. And then Sunday, I had the URGE TO PURGE. I only got around the cleaning out Stevie’s room, but his is the worst one in the house! So it felt good…
I am definitely starting to get excited to update my summer capsule for August – October (the hottest time of year in LA). It’s funny the things you start looking forward to when your days consist of playing nothing but Hot Wheels in different rooms around the house for so many months. I decided to…
Hope you all had a nice weekend. I spent most of the weekend confused about what day it was and daydreaming about remodeling our backyard. The warm afternoons and long days of parenting definitely have my aquarius heart longing for some poolside laziness. I’ve also been watching too much HGTV, so my Pinterest boards are…
As quarantine drags on and the news reports continue to worsen, I can’t help but feel a bit lost. I’ll be the first to admit that parenting full-time with no other outlet can make me feel a bit miserable. I keep trying to convince myself that I just need to snap out of it. Like…
Camping in the time of ‘rona. Well, I wouldn’t call it camping… or even glamping. Maybe something in between. But the past couple days we stayed at Flying Flags Campground, which is a couple hours to our north. We really wanted to do something different and try to have an appropriately social-distanced family trip. We’ve…
So, as you might remember from this post, I added a few items to my wardrobe over the past month. I wrestled with whether to officially include them in my summer capsule, or to just wait until Fall to bust them out. The loungewear has already been worn lots, so that’s in. But I almost…
Would you look at this?? I can’t believe my hair is long enough for a teeny little short hair bun! It’s never my goal to grow out my hair. I love short cuts forever and ever, it’s just a circumstance of the times. And it’s funny when you’ve had uber-short hair for so many years…
We have had two monumental days in a row here! Yesterday, we took a little family drive to the border of Santa Monica/Venica and had a picnic lunch at the beach. Not ON the beach, but a little park NEAR the beach. The weather was absolutely to die for, and it felt so nice to…
Well I think I’ve reached a new point of desperation because I’m re-considering a family camping trip. When Paul had presented the idea the first couple times, I thought “why be annoyed in nature when I can be annoyed in the comfort of my own home?” And I still stand by that. Camping is not…
