Getting a stomach bug when you’re older is the worst – I didn’t even lose any weight! Haha. But nothing feels better than feeling better. And showering for the first time in days. Being at the mercy of Stevie P. when you run out of toilet paper is interesting. After 20 minutes of yelling directions…
Oh, Just Emmy Screenings and Stuff
How did THIS happen?! Do I actually have extra teeth in this photo? Well, since my husband is all kinds of cool, he got us passes for a screening… and then before I knew it, Conan was resting his big red head against my little blonde one and I was trying to keep my eyes from popping out…
Around Here Lately
I have been so terrible about toting my camera around and, in turn, terrible about updating our goings-on around here. But of course we’ve kept plenty busy over the last couple months. If you follow along on Instagram, you’ve probably seen these, so move along. Or look again if you feel like it. Before it got…
5 More Friday Confessions
My brain and I are never ever ever getting back together. Like ever. Remember those very expensive prescription sunnies I scratched? Well I scratched them again. And then I used a screen cleaner on them, which wiped the Ray-Ban logo right off. Then I left them in a dressing room and didn’t realize it until…
Mama Like: Younique Lip Stain
#1. Thanks for all the support (as usual) after my venting sesh on Monday. Ya’ll are better than any therapist I’ve talked to! And thankfully Stevie is having a much better week so far. Fingers crossed for many good days in a row! #2. Down to business! I’m always excited to try new products from Younique! Check out…
Parenting Challenge Not Accepted
Blah. To put things very plainly: I am struggling. Big surprise, I know. Like when is this chick ever not struggling?! I’m with you! Get it together already lady! Eh, this past week with Stevie… do I even say? It sucked. To the point where I couldn’t find the funny in it anymore. Tantrum in…
5 More Friday Confessions
Hello, my name is Jaana and I may have just overdone it on the self tanner. Paul and I had a date night a few weeks back. We saw Whiplash and then ate Hot Dog on a Stick at the mall like a couple of gosh darn teenagers. It was pretty perfect. There’s no feeling quite…
Springtime Taking Stock
Making: Stevie do all sorts of things he hates. Cooking: is for the birds. Drinking: the non-dairy Tropi-Kale smoothie from Robek’s. Reading: Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site Wanting: another tattoo. Looking: for a chambray romper that won’t break the bank. Playing: a few new DVD’s hoping one will catch Stevie’s interest. Deciding: on therapies for Stevie. Enjoying: spring blooms in…
Spring Capsule Wardrobe
I’ve never done a breakdown of all my clothes on the blog before. I’m kind of excited to share! Just a couple years ago, it would’ve taken a decade to go over everything in my over-packed, overwhelming closet. But for the past few seasons, I’ve been working on defining my style and whittling down the junk. And…
Midwest Trip: Days 7 + 8 + 9
Let’s wrap this trip up, yes? Day 7 had nothing exciting to report – just a travel day. We drove back to Chicago to take a flight to Kansas City to drive into Joplin, Missouri. And unlike the first part of our trip, the second part was all scheduled correctly, thankyouverymuch. The next day was spent…
