Obviously things slowed down significantly in Madison. Well, most things. Stevie was still go, go, go and wanted to play on the stairs pretty much the entire stay. Super fun for everyone, taking shifts catching whatever he felt like throwing down at the moment. The stuff vacation dreams are made of, I’m telling you. But…
Oh Chicago. Another city crush. You all know I am a huge fan of New York, but Chicago is up there too. It’s like the preppy little sister to rockin’ NYC. Lots of good shopping, eating and city fun while still looking so pretty and friendly. Stevie likes the hustle and bustle of the city too. Cars…
Hey all! We made it back to hot Los Angeles! Overall we had a really good trip visiting family in 3 different states. Man, we are ambitious on vacation – now we need an actual vacation to recover. Day one. Oh, day one. Boy do I have a story for you! But I’ll start at…
Even though most of the country is in a warming trend and starting to see glimpses of Spring, just a week ago much of the Midwest was still in an arctic freeze. So imagine my nerves as we headed out to Chicago, Wisconsin and Missouri to visit family. I was prepared (and kind of excited)…
I haven’t had a spa day in years. So when I get desperate, sometimes I’ll just slather organic coconut oil all over. Since it warms on contact, it feels like your own personal sauna. And leaves your skin pretty soft. Just don’t sit on anything! If you search Google Images for Nene Leakes, she seriously…
I had some requests for a tutorial on this hairstyle, after it was debuted on un-fancy.com. Oh, my hair is embarrassingly dirty in this video. If you saw my Confessions last week, you will already know. But I just hadn’t had time to wash it, and this is what I do when that happens – the…
I have been putting off taking Stevie to the Natural History Museum because… well, he’s Stevie. He has shown no interest in nature or history. The museum does not have cars. So I didn’t have high hopes. One of his teachers recommended I take him, so I figured we’d give it a shot. We braved…
Over the weekend, we got news that my Grandpa Bill passed away. It wasn’t exactly a shock, mostly because he was 97 years old. Amazing right?! But it still tugs at my heart strings to think he is gone. One of the few people I have known my entire life. We grew up on the…
Have you guys seen that mom jeans are making a comeback this spring? I am really torn about this trend. They look like boyfriend jeans with a much higher waist. Maybe they would keep the cupcake-top under control? Yeah, I don’t eat many muffins, so it’s definitely a cupcake-top. Or a potato chips-top. Can’t even tell…
Toward the end of last summer, I was asked to do a tutorial on how to create beachy waves for short hair. I thought since the season was nearly over, it was kind of pointless at the time. But then Southern California went and did the usual never-ending summer thing (bleh) so, I guess now is as good a time as…
