Seriously, you guys. Ben is totally killing it this year with my birthday week. He’s celebrating every decade of my life each day this week. Monday was 0-10 years old, so he got me a stuffed duck-billed platypus because I told him I wanted a real one and if he knew me when I was that old he would’ve gotten me a stuffed animal. Tuesday was 10-20 years old (the 80’s), so he made me…
I was leaving the gym yesterday, and Ben’s sitting there at a table and says, “Hey, babe. Two quick things. First, don’t forget about date night tonight. And, second…” And, he gets this look on his face like he’s about to drop something on me. Which he does. He asks if there’s a way that I can do my blog during the day instead of later at night after the kids go to bed. I…
Maya sent me this picture today. She randomly spotted Jonah in this room at some point during the school day over at Nobles. The thought of this whole little scene almost brought tears to my eyes. This is why I am so unbelievably grateful to have Jonah at that school. Jonah was just one of those kids that was in the wrong school system before this year. He had some friends (and, still remains close with…
Within CrossFit, I feel like we talk constantly about how close we all are, how positive we stay when talking to one another, how supportive we are of people in and out of training. We obviously know it, because we always talk about it. To other people that love it all as much as we do. Jonah is not what I would call a “lover of CrossFit”. He’s been immersed in it since he was…
Look, I just don’t understand boy anatomy sometimes. Bode is constantly saying to me in the morning, “My penis is getting so big, Mommy!” What the hell am I supposed to say to that? “That’s awesome!” “Good job, kiddo!” “I see that!” “I’m so proud of you!” “Keep it up, buddy!” Seriously. Am I supposed to look at it or not? If I look at it, it’s weird. If I don’t, he gets upset and…
Katrin never ceases to amaze me. She’s incredible. Just when I thought she was a great girlfriend, she proves to me she’s even better than I thought she was. It’s not even a big thing, but those are the things that mean the most. So, I booked an appointment to get a manicure and pedicure for Bushey’s wedding this weekend. I NEVER get my nails done; the whole thing stresses me out. I’d rather spend…
Dug this doozy up from 2013. I might start doing this periodically because there are some gems that could use some reposting 🙂 Driving down to my parent’s home in Connecticut this morning, I asked the car, “Have I posted about Brazilian wax jobs yet?” Immediately, both Maya and Ben say, “I’m sure you have. Yes, yes you have.” But, none of us could recall an entire blog post dedicated specifically to Brazilian bikini waxes, so it’s happening now…just…
I think I’m one of many people that finds themselves nervous about “prying into people’s business”. I’m not talking about my family and close friends. Those people are actually just the opposite; if I feel like something’s wrong or know that they’re going through something, I am borderline too comfortable asking them why they’re acting weird or checking in with them regularly until they’re back up to speed. Like, Tracy, for example. I haven’t see…
