Every year we go to the county fair with Scott’s dad & sisters. We’ve been going for about 10 years & as usual it was a lot of fun! Truman missed out because he was staying with his Nonnie (my mama) but Hudson & Sawyer enjoyed themselves. They had french fries & ice cream & [...]

Today marks the last day for cloth diapers in our house. Truman got this really temperamental rash recently & I seriously tried EVERYTHING but the only thing that seemed to help was switching to compost diapers. And compost diapers? Well, they are freaking EXPENSIVE. Like, $1 a diaper. So, we had to leave our service that we’ve [...]

I think I’ve mentioned before that Hudson has major OCD tendencies. It’s really strange & scary so I don’t talk about it a lot. He just seems to freak out about the strangest shit & I am actually quite worried he may be crazy- but for now I will chalk it up to him growing [...]

So, after leaving SF at 3:30, I headed home to meet up with my mom & aunts- because we were headed to The Bridge School Benefit, a concert to benefit, YOU GUESSED IT: The Bridge School, put on by Neil Young. Luckily, it happens that we got hooked up with tickets & when we got [...]

Thursdays we have dinner at my dad’s house. We go pretty much every Thursday, but last Thursday Scott got home earlier than usual. & since we’ve been heading to new parks any chance we get, we decided to take the kids to the park on my dad’s block. We parked & unloaded all the kids [...]

No, not REAL Magic Mountain. Coyote Point Magic Mountain: It’s a pretty cool playground, but I am SO SAD going there because when I was a kid it was a giant network of concrete tunnels & slides & we used to take field trips there & eat in the park & fly down the concrete [...]

OK, WE weren’t exploring- but Hudson? He sure is. It is so fun to take him places & to watch him experience things for the first time. Today, we were up & out of the house by 9. There was Starbucks & Noah’s. It was yummy. We met up with Scott’s aunt & strolled a [...]

I took a picture of Scott pushing Hudson over this bridge in the San Mateo Japanese Tea Garden when he was just about a month old. & now? Hudson points & exclaims “FISH!” Times have changed. Serious. A LOT of change. My oldest? Is almost 2 years old.

I had this weekend all planned out to be chalk full of awesome activities for our little family. Fleet Week, SF for our 4th annual picnic at Crissy Field to watch the Blue Angels. Seeing Easy A with the girls. Thrift Shopping for treasures. Lemos Farm Pumpkin Patch. & when Scott got home early I [...]

9/11/2001. The Tuesday that changed it all. I was 3000 miles away in the suburb of San Francisco I grew up in. I didn’t personally lose anyone. I didn’t lose anyone in the resulting military action. I was lucky. But still? It changed my life. I know it’s trite. Saying 9/11 changed my life sounds [...]
