Day 1: Travel Gear. Ugh. This outfit is big and sloppy. But it was comfortable during the 6 hour car ride. My detective hat (which was deemed the “Carmen San Francisco”) ensured that I didn’t have to do a darn thing to my hair. And I only wore those boots when I got out of…
OK, I’m pretty sure this was our last trip to San Francisco for the year! It did not disappoint. As I mentioned before, Stevie’s behavior was… rough. And we were frustrated. But also so grateful that we had Paul’s sister with us as our weekend nanny. She watched Stevie so we could just go do some…
This was during Occupational Therapy. He loved it, until he didn’t. Kept him occupied for like 5 minutes though, which we all know is an accomplishment. I loved watching him get dirty! But I think his favorite part was getting washed up in the sink.
We just got back from a trip to San Francisco (more about that later). But I had to share a moment with you. This moment. I know he looks like a walking pro/sexy model. He is neither of those things. Yet. But to see him walking (stumbling) hand in hand with his Baba. Then…
I made it a personal goal to try pattern mixing. The last time I tried was about 3 years ago, and I felt like I had escaped the looney bin. A flowered shirt and a striped blazer? It was a bit…scattered. But this stripes/leopard combo is not too intimidating – everyone should try it sometime.…
We are starting to pack for our next trip to NorCal but Paul and I had a fantastic little getaway a couple weeks ago to Napa. Since it was our 6th wedding anniversary and because we haven’t had a night alone since Stevie came along, I pretty much insisted that we go somewhere. I think…
Mother Nature is a cruel mistress. That’s what I’ve heard, anyway. She tricked us with awesome, rainy, autumn-like weather last week. Only to abruptly take it away and put us back in Satan’s armpit where it’s 90+ degrees. So to enjoy fall fashion when it’s hot as summer, the only thing I could think to…
As the Shuttle Endeavor slowly made its way through our city streets this weekend, just miles away, we had some breaking news of our own. This boy is becoming downright determined to walk! Granted, it has to be on his terms when we practice. But when he wants to, he goes for it. He has horrible…
My husband made fun of me for owning galoshes. He thought it was especially funny that I have more than one pair. In a place that never rains. Well it rained. So IN YO FACE. Not that I actually went out in the rain. The most rain these boots have seen is in these pictures. But if…
After we returned home from San Francisco, it was time to get back to reality. And I’m never ready for that. But to get me through the adjustment, we had a few more fun things on the schedule. Tati Lara surprised Paul and I with DMB tickets for the Hollywood Bowl. She said “Happy Anniversary!”,…
