I’m tempted to buy one of those hand-held tally counters and track how many times a day Stevie says “no”. I’m guessing it’s close to 40 gajillion. I’m super annoyed that the local pools don’t open until end of May. It’s been hot for 2 years straight! I need waaaater. And before you tell me…

Spring Capsule Wardrobe Update
I’m about 6 weeks into my Spring Capsule, which leaves about 6 weeks to go. This seems like a good point in the season to analyze where I’m at and make sure I’m getting the most out of my wardrobe. I have a few pieces that are not working for me. Yes, I might have gained…
Creating a Capsule Wardrobe for Kids
I realize I might be getting a bit carried away with this whole capsule thing, but now that my capsule feels buckled down, I wanted to take a look at Stevie’s clothes. His drawers have been organized time and time again, but there’s only so much you can do with that much stuff. It accumulates so…
5 More Friday Confessions
The thing I look most forward to on the weekends is the food. I eat with no guilt. Because, like I always say, calories don’t count on weekends. Or vacations. Or special occasions. Or on bad days… Hmm… And then I wonder why the white pants I pulled out of storage from last year don’t…
5 More Friday Confessions
I was talking to Stevie’s therapist about games where he throws and mentioned that “I can’t handle balls flying at my face”. It took everything I had, but I kept it together and didn’t laugh! Our neighbors were coming in the elevator with us and I didn’t want them to know we were eating McDonald’s…
Minimalist Packing List for an Overnight Trip
I had the ultimate indulgence this weekend when I joined my girl friends for a spa day/sleepover at the Four Seasons Hotel. Ooh lala!!! We arrived early on Saturday, enjoyed the spa amenities, got our massages and then laid by the pool for hours. Poolside food service and sun for the win! It was so…

Getting a stomach bug when you’re older is the worst – I didn’t even lose any weight! Haha. But nothing feels better than feeling better. And showering for the first time in days. Being at the mercy of Stevie P. when you run out of toilet paper is interesting. After 20 minutes of yelling directions…
5 More Friday Confessions
My brain and I are never ever ever getting back together. Like ever. Remember those very expensive prescription sunnies I scratched? Well I scratched them again. And then I used a screen cleaner on them, which wiped the Ray-Ban logo right off. Then I left them in a dressing room and didn’t realize it until…
5 More Friday Confessions
Hello, my name is Jaana and I may have just overdone it on the self tanner. Paul and I had a date night a few weeks back. We saw Whiplash and then ate Hot Dog on a Stick at the mall like a couple of gosh darn teenagers. It was pretty perfect. There’s no feeling quite…
Spring Capsule Wardrobe
I’ve never done a breakdown of all my clothes on the blog before. I’m kind of excited to share! Just a couple years ago, it would’ve taken a decade to go over everything in my over-packed, overwhelming closet. But for the past few seasons, I’ve been working on defining my style and whittling down the junk. And…
