OMG STEVIE IS 5!! And this is the first year he understands it’s his birthday. For the last month, he kept telling us my birthday coming up soon. And when we’d ask how old he was going to be, he finally stopped saying two and started giving the right answer. This morning he woke up ready…
I had a teenager give me a tutorial on how to use SnapChat. There is no turning back now. (Username: themomgonnasnap) When Stevie wants to put something in his “cock-et”. I react like a 12 year old boy. Or a 36 year old husband. The most stressful day I had this week was when my…
It’s time for your weekly installment of this mom is a dummy! Are you ready?! So yesterday was cold. Real cold. And windy. Warm comfort food was a high priority for dinner. I decided tomato soup was the ticket, and quickly found a vegan recipe online. Again, this was an easy recipe. Nothing complicated about it.…
IS IT FRIDAY YET? (Well it wasn’t when I wrote this. But I guess it is now.) Also, I nearly passed out when I got an email yesterday that was titled Two Weeks til Xmas. I need a security system for all the security system salesmen who stop by our house. I took Stevie to…
During the holidays, it’s hard not to get caught up in the hustle and bustle and sales and shopping and more, more, more, more, more!! That’s probably why I haven’t set foot in a store in weeks. Well, except Target. We’ve all been to Target, right? I’ve mostly been poking around online, trying to keep…
Gadoo has been sneezing and it’s just about the cutest thing ever! Dare I say, even slightly cuter than a baby sneeze, and we all know how adorable baby sneezes are. It kind of makes me like him again. I’m obviously doing a lot of fantasizing about decorating our new place. Visions of a clean/mid-century…
I don’t know why, even when I want to cook a simple dinner, if it doesn’t involve a microwave, it always has to be a story. Or maybe it’s just me who thinks my life is hilarious. No comments from the peanut gallery plz. So we have a kitchen in our new house – not…
I have never shopped on Black Friday. And I’m not even the slightest bit curious. Just ain’t about that life. I swore up and down I would NOT overdo it on Thanksgiving with the eating. The lies I tell myself year after year. We slept about 8.5 hours last night and I feel amazing. Is…
After our disastrous cousins trip last year to Disneyland, I wasn’t so sure Knott’s this year would be any better. But I kept telling myself a whole year has passed! It simply has to be better. Stevie is older and talking a lot more, so maybe that would cut down on the dramatic scenes – for instance,…
We moved. We moved, we moved, we moved! All our stuff is here in the new house. Barely a thing has been put away, but it’s all here somewhere. We hired movers and it was the best decision of our lives. When we can’t find something, we blame it on them – “movers stole it!” –…
