Stevie says the weirdest things lately. But when I hear “I wanna call dad tell him Stevie farted on Gadoo’s head” I can’t help but count the words and think what a great sentence he almost made! Besides the house and backyard and upcoming decorating about to take place (the decoratiiiiing!!!), another reason I’m excited…
I’ve been super reserved about announcing anything prematurely. There are so many wheels in motion and so many things have to line up perfectly for this to work – but I don’t care anymore! I want to shout it from the rooftops!!! WE ARE MOVING INTO A HOUSE! My rockstar of a husband bought us…
In case you don’t follow me on Facebook (or Instagram or Twitter or social media in general), today you can find me on The Mother Effin Truth blog. I’ve had a post on there once before and it’s one of my favorite blogs because it’s a place where moms get to be honest with no judgement! I talk…
Of course the one week we start having awesome weather, I have most of my warmer clothes packed away for moving. I don’t even have my cozy pj’s! Stevie and I have had a pretty good run without any major blow-ups (from me). Yes, he is still pushing his limits, but I’ve managed to keep my…
Hope everyone had a great Halloween! Ours was surprisingly busy. And I am surprisingly glad that it is over. I think I’m just excited for November and all the things in store the next few weeks! Friday morning we stopped by Stevie’s preschool for the Halloween parade. If you imagined that Stevie was super excited to wear…
Told Stevie “I love you” and he answered “I wove YOU… cars.” Even if I had no intention of going, when there is no line at the Starbucks drive-thru, I’m doing it. Saw that the temps will be in the 70’s next week and started making some crazy promises to Stevie of all the places we’d…
Just a quick reminder after my post yesterday, if you want to join in the party to hear some healthy living info and inspiration, there are 2 meetings today! One starts at 9am and the other at 7pm (both California time). You can use the Zoom app or phone in to listen – perfect for…
Oh man, when I think about those early days as a mom and how much I was struggling, how much I was in survival-mode, it brings tears to my eyes. And I guess it wasn’t actually just the early days, but intermittently throughout Stevie’s little life. I have always taken the challenges head on, but…
We had Stevie’s first pee-in-a-cup-in-the-car experience. It went surprisingly well. I just felt weird throwing it away after? Like what do you do with a cup of pee? My new favorite iPhone game is called Lettercraft. I can’t play at night though because I get so riled up that I can’t sleep. Almost like watching too…
If you are a normal person, you are a fan of Autumn. I’m only semi-normal and even I obviously love Autumn. Or maybe I really love the idea of Autumn, considering how hard I have to work to pretend like we’re experiencing Autumn in some way. Sweating in my flannel shirt, drinking hot cocoa with the A/C blasting,…
