With getting back in the swing of things, I've suddenly realized how many of my friends have moved away. Hello!? Mass exodus out of California! You know what's kind of sad though? I heard a lot of people like my friend, Amelia, made her winter home her permanent home. Where is she supposed to stay November through February every year? Just stay put in one place? Like she's going to be living in Idaho full-time now? That's been really hard to digest lately and not just because she's now surrounded by carbs everywhere living by all of those potatoes.  The other hard part of all of this ..read more

I'm Back from the Dead!!!!!!!!!!

I'm Back from the Dead!!!!!!!!!! And by DEAD, I mean my entire pregnancy then the last 10 months. What in the world just happened to my insides, specifically my uterus and mental state?! Yes, I have a 10 month old! He came TWO weeks late (longest two weeks of my entire life). These past 10 months have been the HARDEST MONTHS OF. MY. LIFE. Literally, SOOOO Stressed. It's been THE HARDEST THING EVER watching my nanny take care of my little bundle of joy. Seeing her feeding him in the middle of the night, constantly changing his diapers, getting him to sleep and doing everything around ..read more

35-Day Detox

5y ago
I'M BACK!!! I just logged on to my email for the FIRST TIME in 35 days. That is THE LONGEST I've ever been EVER checking my email and social media, EVER. I've been flooded with messages from readers wondering if I was too stressed to blog or if I died. When I first started writing, I was working SO HARD on providing content EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. And I did for 38 days straight. (That is also a record for me -- working on something that consistently.) Anyway, the big news I have to share with the world is and the reason I was off social media and blogging for so long is that...(drum roll please ..read more

Safe Eating
Literally So Stressed
by
5y ago
A lot of people think I CAN'T cook. It's not that I can't. It's that I DON'T. There's a big difference.  When Brock and I first got married, I tried my hand at some homecooked recipes I grew up on (my "soul food"). My husband was nice about it, but didn't seem to really care for my cooking style. I would make a meal, set the table and sit there, end up waiting for hours alone will when he unexpectedly got caught at work. At first, I would wait for him to eat, but soon realized it wasn't worth letting my hard-cooked meal get cold. How depressing is that? So I would clean up, watch a show and go ..read more

Stressful Amazoning
Literally So Stressed
by
5y ago
Today was super stressful. I had to find gifts on Amazon that my dad and husband would like for Father's Day. The most stressful part was trying to find things they would like AND that had Prime shipping to arrive by Saturday. I usually don't forget to schedule gift buying with my personal shopper, but somehow this slipped my mind. About 10 minutes into my frantic online search, I found myself stress eating a bag of Cheeto puffs. Could someone please get these puffs away from me?? Well, success, but now I have to stress the delivery. I'll be watching all my cameras on our entrance like a hawk ..read more

New Correct Term
Literally So Stressed
by
5y ago
This is VERY interesting. I just learned something new while Googling and thought I would share: "Gestational carriers and surrogates are not the same, a surrogate is someone who donates her egg and then subsequently carries the child; she is genetically linked to that baby. Today, such cases of true surrogacy are very rare.  In the case of a gestational carrier, the woman carrying the pregnancy is in no way biologically related to the child she is carrying; the eggs and sperm are derived from the "intended parents" (or possibly an egg or sperm donor), through the process of In Vitro Fertiliz ..read more

Two Months!
Literally So Stressed
by
5y ago
I can't believe I've already been blogging for TWO months (as of last Saturday, June 8). I would have written this tribute to myself earlier, but the baby news has kind of taken priority. In TWO months, I have gotten on the Top 100 Housewife Blogs (I'm #62);  bought the group gift and drop shipped a palette of baby merchandise to Amelia; lived through Amelia's surrogate's labor and delivery story; have started helping another friend plan her second wedding; survived another successful year of "Peanut Butter and Jealous"; have started/grown my blog's Pinterest boards + pins (and have been re-p ..read more

A Surprising Phone Call
Literally So Stressed

5y ago
Hallelujah there are only two games max left in the NBA Finals. Brock has been working CRAZY hours these past few weeks. Don't get me wrong. Business has been GREAT for him, but it's taken a toll on ME physically at home. He's been calling home asking me to watch the entire games to see if his clients are behaving appropriately from my angle. And to see if his hard work is paying off. (If you don't remember what he does, read here.) Since holding Amelia's new baby, I can't get that angelic face out of my head. I had something stir inside of me before on Sunday night that I've never experience ..read more

Hospital Visit
Literally So Stressed

5y ago
The past few days have been emotionally exhausting for me with the arrival of Amelia's daughter. What a surreal experience for Amelia to now have to think of someone other than herself. I honestly don't know how that is even possible. Anyway, as I was getting ready to go paddle boarding on Sunday morning with my instructor, I got a text from the new mother: NEW MOM: "Hey! Are you up?" ME: "Yes. I'm about to get in the ocean. Why?" NEW MOM: "Do you want to come to the hospital?" ME: "What?! Are you serious?" NEW MOM: "Don't get in that fish toilet. Go home, take a shower, do a quick clean ..read more

It's a BABY GIRL!
Literally So Stressed

5y ago
It's a BABY GIRL! Amelia's surrogate delivered a healthy, beautiful baby GIRL! (They knew the gender ahead of time, but didn't tell anyone to leave people on the edge of their seats.) I am SO, SO, SO, SO HAPPY it's a girl because that means I can now officially buy all of the super cute baby girl clothes I've been eyeing these past six months at Janie and Jack. Every baby deserves high end clothing from the start. They shouldn't be punished for not being able to control their bodily fluids thus being forced to wear anything of lesser quality OR heaven forbid, hand-me-downs. Honestly, if Amel ..read more
