We made it through week one and now we’re onto week two of school. As far as I know, Stevie has handled the transition pretty well from 2nd to 3rd Grade. He’s with a new group of kids and has a new teacher and didn’t even have a meltdown in class until the end of…
Feeling extra proud of myself this last week. A solo trip with Stevie can be an anxiety-inducing experience. Sometimes even just driving two hours to Disneyland or the beach is enough to do me in. So a cross country flight, topped off by a 3 hour drive in either direction, was makin’ me nervous. But…
You see?! After all my bragging about writing a blog post 7 weeks in a row, I fell off the wagon. To be fair, I had a good excuse as I was taking Stevie out of town. But still. It’s like bragging that your kid slept through the night… Aaaand you just jinxed it. On…
Can you even BELIEEEEVE that I have written a blog post seven weeks in a row? Considering that like 15 people still read this thing, and you are one of those people, maybe you believe it. But I am kind of surprised that I’m still going. I want to say that it’s totally brought back…
Well this has been a long time coming… I finally made another No Pattern Sewing Tutorial. Weee! You can see my first one here: Boxy Top. If you’ve seen that one and you’re ready to move onto a dress, you can watch the latest video here: Boxy Dress. And let me mention that any and…
Paul and I were lucky enough to escape for a night and celebrate one of my favorite girls turning 40! I think I’ve mentioned before that this has been a big year for travel because we have so many friends hitting milestone birthdays — and I just can’t be mad about it. We spent most…
This past week, I participated in #aweekwithnopants challenge. It had a clever name and set out to encourage people to wear dresses and skirts for a week. The challenge was hosted by @uncomplicatedspaces, @marmag.creation, @akwearsthings, @alissa_etc, and @petraalexandra. I’ll admit, I am not a dress person, so I thought it might be a fun way…

This past week on Instagram, I “confessed” that I had purchased a fast fashion jumpsuit. Not because I needed it, but because it was a day that I was feeling sorry for myself, plain and simple. I was pity shopping and it’s something I haven’t done in a really long time. Listen. Emotional shopping used…
Remember when I used to write about style and capsule wardrobes and mom outfits and all things wardrobe and clothing related? Aaaah, those were the days! Sometimes I miss sharing about those things, but most of the time I just post to Instagram now. It’s so much faster and gives me all the fulfillment that…
