Our trip to Target this week was the first in nearly 5 years where we haven’t bought diapers! I usually try to be a nice blogger who reads and comments on other people’s blogs too, but right now, I have 300+ posts to catch up on. Yikes. My one and only goal this week was to get more sleep. Try…
Making: big plans in my head. Deciding: where to begin with said plans. Cooking: sandwiches? Drinking: so much green tea, I have to pee like allll the time. Listening: to more Podcasts. Wanting: to revamp the ol’ blog. Looking: at a pretty messy house. Playing: Boggle on my phone. Wishing: I slept more. Enjoying: girl time,…
Taking Stevie to my favorite Ventura County Fair is a tradition I hope to keep alive for many years. It’s always about 20 degrees cooler up there by the ocean, so it came at the right time and was a perfect escape from overheated LA. This was our 4th year in a row and we had…
We are more than 1/2 way through the summer season and I kind of can’t believe it. School starts Monday! Wait, whaaaaat?! As far as clothes are concerned, however, this doesn’t mean a whole lot. Plenty of hot days still lie ahead of us here in Southern California. September is usually a scorcher! It might cool off by…
I can’t say this weekend was quite as relaxing as I envisioned it, but it was pretty fun! We were together, but separate, enjoying our own things. Like ships passing in the night. Paul was in Vegas meeting with old friends. I was in North Vegas with my sister. And Stevie spent the weekend with…
When I think of Vegas, the first thing that comes to mind is definitely not my mom style. So when I was packing for my weekend getaway, I started to feel a little like what has happened to me? But guess what all you young, beautiful, blingy bikini wearing girls; I, the 36-year old lady wearing the straw hat by…
Sharknado 2: The Second One is one of the best worst movies I’ve ever seen. As confusing and convoluted as True Detective is, the thing that bothers me the most about this season is the fact that they live in LA and one of the detectives wears a bolo tie. Totally unrealistic. Some days when…
It’s a lot of fun to take my nephew places. He has almost the exact opposite learning style of Stevie and you don’t have to convince him to do anything. He actually wants to learn and try and see it all. Well almost all. He is thoughtful and hesitant about certain things, but mostly, he…
Our trip to Sacramento was, of course, mainly to pay our respects to Aunt Sheila and spend time with family. But we also squeezed in some adventure. My cousin Mark said he didn’t want it to be a sad time, he wanted us to be celebrating. And he made it easy for us to enjoy our…
Even with diet and exercise, the closest I’ll ever get to a thigh gap is if I learn to do the splits. Jaana on 9 hours of sleep is a straight up hustler, man. I can accomplish so much! My worst nightmare arrived in mail form this week. Medi-Cal Redetermination Form. Due in a couple…
