Nestled in the hills of Griffith Park, there are quite a few hidden treasures. So many areas we still haven’t explored, probably because I always return to the old favorites. Like this vintage wooden carousel. We’ve seen it many times, driven by countless amounts. But the dang thing always seems to be closed. So this…
I can’t stand bananas or kiwi. I think I ate them so much as a kid, they made me sick. I used Siri for the first time the other day. She updated my Facebook status accurately and did everything else wrong. Stupid Siri. Let’s talk about people who stare at my son. Not sweet people…
I have been a “runner-in-training” for about 5 years now. Meaning that, basically, I’m not very good. I’m slow and steady sweaty and probably look a little pathetic trotting along. But I love the way I feel afterward. So I keep doing it. I don’t run far, I haven’t lost any weight, and by this…
As you already know, my brother and sister and nephew came to visit over the long weekend. And I think that concludes the list of visitors at Peltekian B&B – for now. Having so many people here the last month just makes me want a much bigger house. A house where people don’t have to…
Um, is summer flying by for anyone else? Because I’m having a hard time believing that we’re headed into the second week of July. (!!) It’s been a busy summer for sure. Lots of visitors and activities. But I can’t help but long for the more carefree, easy flowing summer days. I’m here on a…
My brother, sister and nephew are here! The holiday started out slow, ended with a bang <— see what I did there? Most of the morning was spent testing out ways to wear our bandannas. Then a delightful BBQ at a friends’ house – complete with burgers, pulled pork, a pool for the kiddos, and…
When I talk about Stevie’s sleep habits, I always knock on wood. It seems that the very minute I tell anyone that he’s been sleeping through the night, he no longer does! And yesterday when I mentioned it during his OT evaluation, I must have been knocking on fake wood or something. Because sure enough,…
I looked into eyelash extensions and as much as I really, really want them, I am going to hold off. I didn’t know much about them except that they look a-mah-zing. But they run about $200. They take 1-2 hours to apply. They need to be filled every 3-4 weeks. Fills cost $50-100… I’ll just…
Every 6 months, Stevie has to be evaluated. These evals determine whether or not he will continue receiving Regional Center Services. If you don’t already know, he gets all 7 weekly therapy sessions and preschool through the Regional Center. They are part of early intervention programs. A fantastic resource, if you ask me! But with…
My cousin and his wife came to visit from Finland and they brought their cuuuute little girl. She’s a year and 9 months and pretty much Stevie’s BFF now. They spent the week together and got along really well – minus the few times they didn’t want to share toys. But even that, in…
