Since it is CHD Awareness week, I thought I would write a little bit about some of my more difficult experiences as a heart mom and some things I would do differently if given the opportunity. I know, they say hindsight is 20/20. And I did the best I could at the time. I try…
Stevie wore a hat for the first time this weekend. I know it sounds silly, but it’s been a long awaited moment for me, for no other reason than it’s so stinkin’ cute. It was an LA Dodgers baseball cap and he only wore it because we all were wearing hats. In his own words “Mom…
Running late. Gotta get Stevie from school. Hurry hurry. Out the door. Crap forgot my phone. Can’t find my phone. Where is it? Seriously!! Stupid phone. Couch cushions! Nope. Charger! Nope. Oh well, guess I’ll worry about it later. It’s got to be somewhere around here. Cut to 2 hours later: Oh, it’s in my…
You guys! We had 2 good days in a row. Like really good days. Minimal tantrums, flexibility, smiles, cooperation. (I’m talking about Stevie, in case you were wondering. I know, I have my moments…) I don’t know where this boy comes from, but every once in awhile he shows up and we have such a…
You know, I seem to have a lot to say when it comes to Stevie. Or what we do day to day. Or things I’m struggling with as a mother/person. But today I’m going to share something that I’m just proud of. Gonna pat myself on the back a little bit. Hope ya’ll don’t mind!…
Well, well, well. 36. You are here. I don’t really know what to say. I mean, as I get older, there are so many mixed emotions about it. I think I talk about the contradictions and how weird it is every single year. Because it IS weird, man. Getting older is just plain weird. This…
These are perfectly good jeggings. (Spell check tells me “jeggings” is not a word, but we all know better, right? It’s a terrible word, but a word nonetheless.) And in fact, these jeggings are so perfectly good, that I might have a second back-up pair in storage. I was just ready to change up the…
When Stevie was a baby, I used the IKEA RIBBA shelf in his room as a bookshelf. It was awfully cute. But one big problem? The books kept falling off! The lip of the shelf was just too low and all those big board books were constantly tipping over. So I eventually took them down and…
That moment when you spend all evening on the phone trying to track down your wallet at every location you’ve been to in the last 3 days, only to find it under the front seat of your car. I SWEAR I looked there first! A young guy in the mall parking lot told me I looked “hot” (!!!) Haven’t heard that…
Good morning troops! Remember when I went to Austin a couple weeks ago? (You can catch the photos here.) That trip was taken to meet style bloggers Caroline (of Unfancy) and Jacquelyn (of JustJacq). We had so much fun, but guess what? We actually got a lot of work done too. Well today is the day.…
