CAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRS! (He can’t take credit for the arrangement, but he liked watching…)Stevie started a new behavioral therapy a few weeks back and – dare I say – I think it’s helping? It’s mostly providing us with tools to learn how to handle him and his difficult outbursts. And it seriously goes against every natural mothering…
5 More Friday Confessions
Sometimes just being in the car alone for an hour feels like a full on vacation. I was super stoked to get Stevie back to swim lessons twice a week – and then forgot I had scheduled him for swim lessons twice a week. My weight in real life is now less than what I…
Taking Stock for Autumn
Making: coffee. Cooking: quinoa and black beans constantly. Drinking: the biggest green tea that Starbucks offers. Reading: Max the Brave every night. Wanting: clogs. Looking: old and tired. Playing: 90’s jams Wishing: away my wrinkles. Positive thinking has to count for something right? Enjoying: when Stevie wants to go to the train park. It’s weird,…

What is it about The Walking Dead?? Holy cow, Paul and I have never binge watched a show like this before. It’s hard to turn it off! We had to start limiting ourselves to 2 episodes a night because after 3 episodes, it started giving us weird dreams and bouts of depression over the apocalypse.…

Nature Walk with Stevie
While Stevie was sick and we were going on multiple daily walks, he started showing some interest in picking up sticks and leaves. He would say “I WANTASTICK” and upon finding a good one, he’d say “IMAKEEPDIS”. This made my mom-of-a-boy heart soar. Not only because he was showing interest in something, anything new, but because this…

I’ve had this post ready to go for 2 weeks, but got hung up on what picture to post. So. Here are some apples. Because those are healthy! TA-DAAAA! If you’ve read the backstory and seen the diet plan, now you probably want to know how it all holds up over time. I only started…
9 Years
Does anyone else feel like it was just our anniversary?! At least we didn’t forget this year! In fact, Paul jumped the gun a little and thought it was yesterday. I spent my afternoon on Amazon, searching for a good leather gift, but then realized if I ordered from our account, he would see it…
Back to School!
In case you don’t follow me on Instagram or Facebook, I am happy to report that Stevie is back in school! He got the all clear from the health department – the E Coli is completely out of his system – and he can now resume his usual activities, which include, but are not limited to:…
