Mexico aaahhhh! I feel like I need to take a deep breath before diving into this post. First of all, I can’t believe we’ve been to Mexico City, Mérida, and back! What an adventure. It was everything I hoped it would be, and so much more. Of course it went by way too fast. Now…
Uhhhh, hello April. …and goodbye! Howdy May! …oh, we’re almost done. Sheesh. Is there some scientific explanation as to why the months and years feel faster as we get older? Because this is madness. This spring has FUH-LOWN by. And will lead into a busy summer too. School gets out in ONE WEEK for summer…
If you read my last post, you could probably guess that I was dreading Stevie’s latest appointment with the cardiothoracic (heart) surgeon. This would be our first time seeing him in nearly 8 years, which is kind of amazing when you think about the rough start we had. But of course it was to discuss…
Did someone say Mexico? Why yes, yes I did. This year has been a big one for trips and celebrations. Not only did I have a milestone birthday, but lots of our friends are having them as well! Which really works out nicely for us, I must say. One of the bigger trips we are…
Oh dear Lord, what a day! Frankly, I’m glad it’s over and Stevie is heading to bed. I was so anxious leading up to this procedure, but as promised, game faces were ON this morning. We were all feeling ready to kick some ass. Well, some of us more than others. Once we got into…

January was several years long, and now all of a sudden it’s March!The other night as I dozed off, I dropped my phone right on my face. Paul thought it was much more funny than I did.I’m doing a “real model” shoot tomorrow for The Garment and I’m really excited but also really freaking out.…
Every time I sit down to try and write this post, I am short on words. I think I feel a little overwhelmed as usual, so I just don’t know where to begin. And today of all days, I am riddled with anxiety. But I need to avoid online shopping. So I’m going to do…
Cold Weather Essentials in a Carry-On On our latest trip to the Midwest, I felt like I really hit my stride with cold weather packing. Now, this is no polar vortex survival kit, but it was perfect for temps between the 20’s-40’s. And color me surprised when it hit 42 degrees and Miss California over…
I can’t believe it’s been almost 2 years since I tried my hand at sewing for the first time. It has been such a great learning experience, to use my brain in a new way. But to be honest, it does feel like any progress I should be making is slow. I haven’t mastered zippers…
