Lately, I really miss shooting on film. It’s been quite awhile. As soon as I got my first digital camera about 8 years ago, there was really no going back. The convenience, simplicity and instant...
Mother’s Day strangely brought up a lot of insecurities for me. You’re supposed to celebrate all your accomplishments as a mom, and all I could think about was everything that I was doing wrong....
Busy week over here in Burbank. On top of the usual crazy schedule, we had to squeeze in a first dentist visit and a follow up with the orthopedist. Just those 2 extra things made me feel so tired!...
The last time we went to Mammoth, I was very, VERY pregnant. Like 8 months pregnant. Like the kind of pregnant where people ask if you are having twins and “are you actually going to get bigger...
When I first heard we would be having a big family BBQ for Mother’s Day, my inner voice let out an audible groan. What I actually wanted was to be in a spa with body oil, a back massage, someone...
When my sister and I shared a bed growing up, if she so much as brushed against my arm, I would punch her as hard as I could in her sleep. Hey, I was just teaching her boundaries. Isn’t that what...
I noticed the other day that the t-shirts I jog in are giving me a farmer tan. If I lived on a farm, this would be perfectly fine. Probably even expected. But in the grand city of L.A. I don’t even...
When Stevie started Occupational Therapy about 8 months ago, he would have nothing to do with it. Well, actually, all of his therapies have started out that way. But OT was one of the worst. The...
I broke my shopping diet. Relapsed. Spent $50 at Old Navy. It was a particularly stressful week and honestly, it felt soooo gooood. Stevie sat quietly while I tried on a bunch of clothes and that,...
Most of you know that Stevie and I keep a pretty packed schedule. Between 8 therapy sessions a week and preschool and errands and naps and whatever else comes our way, we don’t have a ton of free...
Oh, the Poppy Festival! Two whole days of music, art, food and fun to celebrate the state flower of California! Except the state flower of California chose not to make an appearance. Again. Last...
Soooo… I have some ‘dos that I’ve been drooling over lately. The problem is, I shouldn’t be drooling over them. I should be relishing in my longer hair. It’s really not that long. But it’s long for...
Paul never wants anything for his birthday. What do you get for that kind of guy? Well, I will tell you! A movie, a good dinner, and a hotel room. We had a great evening out, and were never more...
Head on over to my photography page to enter the giveaway for these pretty 8×10 matted prints!
With Stevie’s arms growing longer by the minute, I sometimes get worried that once I’m done curling or straightening my hair, he’s going to get a hold of the iron while I leave it sitting on the...
Uh, this weekend kind of sucked. Like a lot. To be fair, Stevie has been sick for weeks, so that could be why he is really extra grouchy. And you know how difficult he is to entertain. So when you...
Technically, it will be a month on the 16th. But it’s been 4 weeks. 4 Saturdays since Luke’s passing. Some days are still hard. I didn’t have Luke in my life on a daily basis, but knowing how much...
Oh Stevie. What a boy! He started preschool about 5 weeks ago, and – besides the endless amount of colds he has caught along with a wicked ear infection – it’s going really well. When I drop him...
One of the best evenings I’ve had in weeks was date night with the huz. What is a “date night” you ask? Well, it’s this thing where you leave the kid(s) with a baby-sitter or a Tati and you just go...
Mondays used to be for Mom Style. I enjoyed hamming it up, posting my goofy outfit pictures. And there’s a bunch of stuff in my drafts folder to be posted. But somehow, after everything our family...
Usually for Easter, we drive far, far away. Hey, Dana Point can sometimes take like 3 hours! This year we stayed pretty local and visited family in Chatsworth. It was a lovely day except for the...
In case you hadn’t heard, driving from SoCal to Southern Mizz is no joke. I’m just going to start calling Missouri “Mizz”. Because why not. We rented a minivan, or – as my stepdad likes to call it...
No matter how crummy the circumstance, having all of us together in one place… well, it hasn’t changed much over the years. Except there are probably a lot more inappropriate jokes now that we are...
We got in late last night. Pretty sure I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. Then today I woke up to an alarm and a list of things to do. Back to the old grind. Were we just in Missouri?...
Yesterday was really, really hard. My nephew’s funeral took place here in Missouri. He packed the memorial hall. Many, many kind words were spoken. He brought all different types of people together...
This is a post I do not want to write. Some of you already know that we recently had a tragedy in our family. March 16th, 2013 marked the day we received the terrible phone call, letting us know...
So who else is obsessed with the latest Anthropologie catalog?! Anyone? Just me? Dang. Maybe it’s the shopping diet talking, but I seriously have looked at it 15 times. Each time, I slowly turn the...
This post is a little difficult for me to write without getting a bit choked up. We just returned from an amazing weekend in Sacramento visiting family – I only wish it were under different...
I can’t take any credit for this. My husband makes the most killer french toast. The key ingredient is the bread. He buys his Challah Bread from Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf on the west side of town, and...
Last year I wrote a post called 25 Ways To Know You’re Such a Mom. It’s a list that can constantly evolve, but still holds true. Sometimes it’s unbelievable how much life has changed or what you’ve...
