My Mothers Day Present

So for mothers day, I told M the thing that I would like most is to be able to go get my haircut and get a pedicure, kid free, and then breakfast in bed on Sunday morning. SO, this morning I went and got a much needed haircut, dry and style, and a pedicure with salt scrub and pumice stone scrub. I got my hair cut with long layers and I absolutely LOVE it! I have never done this before and I love how light my head feels. Also, my hair actually fits in normal size pony tail holders now, which is amazing since it has never been able to do that before because it is SO thick!!! It was BLISS! I felt like a new woman when I was done. I went home and got the family and we went out shopping -- I got some new mary jane crocs for my trip to Disneyland (we leave Wednesday) and a couple things at Recollections (because how could I resist) and then we got Jamba juice (my addiction) and went home. I had a wonderful day! I am so excited to go on vacation. I need to pack still, but that is what I will spend all day Monday doing. Anyway, here are some pictures of the new me and my new cute purple pedicured toes! I have always thought I have ugly toes because I have the worlds longest second toe, but I think that they actually look pretty cute right now and they make me smile!

My Decade Later Comeback and Playing Catch Up

Hello friends, It's been awhile and I kind of dropped off the face of the planet since moving to Oregon. I got busy with growing four babies into teens, and attempting to hold together a marriage with a partner who was working out of town for the most part. It was a lot! Truth be told, I have been spending most of my time over on Instagram which allows for more quick picture and caption posts (@the.amanda.sewell), but I really, genuinely miss having a journal of our adventures, so I'm back.  Some changes, my ex-partner moved out in October of 2023 (after 23 years of marriage, who would have thought?) and I am on a new, single mom adventure with the fabulous four. Luckily, they are adjusting to the changes well as we navigate this challenging time as a family team. Things are still in flux and hopefully at the end of all of this, the dust will settle and we will end up landing on our feet. Because of this change, I needed to go back to work and after not working for the past lo...

(SSD014) - Ear Infections and Pneumonia

I apologize for my late posting today . . . the countdown to being 40 weeks preggo continues.  This week has been crazy out of control already, and it's only Tuesday!  YIKES!   Friday night Baby E was running a fever and really congested.  We gave him tylenol/motrin, but he would not take in fluids, and I was worried about him, so I slept on he floor beside his bed (stupid thing to do at 39 weeks pregnant).  Anyway, I cried a bit, and when I woke up in the morning, I had the most intense pain in my right ear ever!  Seriously OW!   Saturday, Mic took the baby to the pediatrician, where he was diagnosed with double ear infections, and pneumonia -- he had a breathing treatment there, and an antibiotic shot . . . and his lungs were sounding much more clear when he left.  Late Saturday night his fever broke, much to our relief.   Sunday was an okay day, mostly we just all rested -- an interesting thought occurred to me while I was on th...
