These are just some shots from around the city on our second day. I’ll be posting more from Central Park and the 9/11 Memorial in their own post. Because then it’s just too many pictures in one blog entry, and you’d be scrolling for days. Ain’t nobody got time for that. One of my favorite…
Mom Style {5 More Friday Confessions}
I am so mean to telemarketers. They just have a job to do, but when they make the phone ring during Stevie’s nap? Believe me, if I could reach through the phone and slap someone, I would do it. Just yesterday I got a call for Paul Peletelkelian and I said in a hushed voice “Listen,…
New York City, Day 1 Pictures
Don’t worry, Gadoo had a fantastic cat-sitter. And I’m sure he was happy to have a break from defending his life against the 2 year old. Our trip started with a red eye flight into Newark and we finally arrived in the actual New York City around 7am. Which is 4am California time! You betta…
New York City! Trip
The weeks leading up to our trip to New York were filled with dread and second thoughts and what the hell are we thinking?!? Every time Paul and I talked about it, we’d look at each other with true, deep fear in our eyes and debate calling the whole thing off. New York frickin’ City.…
Brand Park Wading Pool
I am always excited to learn about local adventures that are suitable for kids. So I was pumped to find a website called Red Tricycle. I signed up to receive the weekly newsletter especially for the Los Angeles area, (they also have one for New York, Atlanta, Chicago, San Francisco, etc) and it’s chalk full…
Weekend in Vegas
I have been feeling pretty burned out. For awhile. No matter how many adventures Stevie and I had, or how many friends I entertained, or how many summer adventures were planned, all I can think about lately is how tired I am. And how much I want to cancel every therapy and appointment and just…
Stylin' Mommies Feature
Hey guys, I have a feature over on Stylin’ Mommies today! Just blabbing about my short hair… again. Head on over and check it out.
Mom Style {5 More Friday Confessions}
This morning I spent some time in front of the camera, instead of behind it. That was about as intimidated as I’ve ever been. I hate when I get all insecure and nervous! A bit relieved it’s over. If my calculations are correct – there are 24 hours in a day and about 16 of…
Stevie Fan Club {Naps + Spaghetti + Pterodactyls. Not What You Think.}
Today started out well enough. And it actually ended quite well too. But that whole bit in the middle was a huge load of crap. I picked up Stevie a little early from school. He had an eye appointment, and I knew if he didn’t at least get a short nap, that appointment just wouldn’t…
Stevie Fan Club {Auditory Evaluation}
Among all the evaluations Stevie got last month, there was a sensory eval. In this one they look at all sorts of behavioral things, mainly how he reacts when given tasks, textures, movement, etc. The kid passed his visual test with flying colors. Go figure. The rest of the evaluation was mediocre, needs improvement in…
