A couple weekends ago, my sister came to visit! Yay! She brought my sweet nephew, of course, along with her boyfriend and his cute kids. They had a busy schedule getting all the CA goodness in, and fighting lots of traffic every step of the way. We couldn’t do everything with them because it was right…
Stevie had an assessment last week for behavioral therapy. This is something I should be excited about. We have wanted this for a long time. It’s supposed to help him and help all of us as a family unit. But when the assessment was over, a feeling a dread washed over me. I did not feel happy about…
Beach Day —> Stevie’s first movie —> Working —> LA Heart Walk —> Engagement Party It was one of those weekends where you almost feel like you just went from one event to another, stopping home solely to change clothes, maybe start a load of laundry, and then continue on. We somehow sneaked in watching…
It seems that strange people are often drawn to me. I have the most interesting conversations while I’m out and about. If you’re someone who likes me, I’m sorry to break it to you, but you’re probably a weirdo. Luckily I like weirdos, so we’ll all get along great. My husband works so much, that anytime he…
Making: friendship bracelets. not giving up. Cooking: quinoa. Drinking: la croix pamplemousse. Reading: old magazines from my sissy. Wanting: to learn a new skill. Looking: a little Bieberish this morning. Playing: old stuff from Shelby Lynne. Deciding: on a waterproof phone case. Wishing: more of the kids in Stevie’s class were verbal so he could practice…
Age defying treatment. You had me at hello. I don’t know you guys. I’m such a sucker for anything anti-aging. I feel like I’ve tried it all. But I haven’t stuck with one specific product for any extended amount of time. And though my products always change, I still continue my nighttime routine: Wash. Tone.…
In just 6 days, our little family will be participating in the LA Heart Walk once again. Last year we had so much fun and believe it or not, I was the top fundraiser for the event. This means only one thing – our friends, family and supporters are awesome. This year, I did not set…
This week kicked my ass all the way to Tallahassee and back. Actually, I would have enjoyed Tallahassee more. I really wanted to make a couple bracelets and anklets for summer just like I would have when I was 12. After 6 attempts to follow Pinterest instructions, I finally had to go to a children’s crafting…
What the hell just happened?! The ending result is a best case scenario, but getting here felt like we were thrown in a fire, taken out, put into a tumble dryer, shaken up real good, and then spit out on the floor like an old piece of gum. You already know the part where Stevie…
All week, I was totally fine. Not worried. Keeping busy. Feeling strong. ALL WEEK LONG. But there is something about going to the hospital the morning of surgery. The familiar drive before the sun is up. The familiar check-in procedure. Familiar faces. Familiar toys. Familiar pj’s. Familiar waiting room. We’ve been there so many times…
