All things nudity, nails and nautical

November 25, 2020November 25, 2020 stephstanesic

I knew it. I called this the day we got the sonogram confirmation that our second child was another boy. I could see this coming, and honestly, I’m a little surprised it took this long. This morning Frank proudly declared it a “naked day” when he emerged from the bathroom…. in the nude. Jammies in… Continue reading All things nudity, nails and nautical

Running and Whataburger

November 10, 2020November 11, 2020 stephstanesic

My order at Whataburger **every freaking time** is as follows: Number 13 (with buffalo sauce), diet Coke, spicy ketchup and an extra piece of the Texas toast. This is what COVID has done to me. Quick question: why don't they sell that toast to us, the general public?! I would pick up a loaf every… Continue reading Running and Whataburger

Yearbooks and Elections

November 4, 2020November 4, 2020 stephstanesic

It's Election night in the good ol' USA and I just feel..... sad. I feel sad that 2020 was a thing. I feel sad that people chose their political opinions over their relationships with friends and families. I feel sad that people fought over whether to wear a mask or not. I feel sad that… Continue reading Yearbooks and Elections

New Years and New Words

January 22, 2020 stephstanesic

There’s so much pressure to pick a “word” or a “phrase” for the year, isn’t there? Part of me is all about it, right? I want to get in there and tear it up and go into the year with grit and determination and purpose! Then there’s a part of me that’s like, “to hell… Continue reading New Years and New Words

Long breaks and all the change.

December 10, 2019December 10, 2019 stephstanesic

Some days it's easy to jump right out of bed, ready to tackle the world!! Everything is a win and I'm on top of my game. And then there are other mornings where I'm in the kitchen and spill coffee right down the front of my shirt, but I shrug and say, "I'm not changing… Continue reading Long breaks and all the change.

Chip told me when we got married that he never wanted me to go to bed without laughing. He has followed through on making that happen for 8 years now. Love you boo. Thanks for making laughter, forgiveness, kindness and joy priorities in our home. Happy Anniversary 😍💕
Shoot. Bottle feeding the runt, and already deciding on how to litter box train. How did I become an indoor pig mom? Things continue to go downhill around here. 💕
He is a self proclaimed “cat guy”. ☺️🐈 Frank has been singing to Marie for like a half hour.... 😍💙
Who says you can’t go out for ice cream in 20 degree weather 🙌🏼
If you know me even a little, you know I struggle with seasonal depression around this time of year. 14 years ago today was a nightmare. Tommy was a blessing and so healing in my life. I want to remember him today by just saying this: If you’re going through grief, just remember it’s HARD. It doesn’t make sense and give yourself a whole lot grace (and therapy if you’re like me and you need it). Loss of loved ones is tough stuff. The pain may lessen, but the hurt never completely goes away. I dealt with Tommy’s death by turning toward addiction and bad habits. It took me years to get healthy. Christ is the great Healer and loves to redeem. 💗 if you’re hurting today, you are not alone. Reach out. Get help. You’ll be happy you did. 💙
I asked my family the other day if they wanted to practice Lent with me this year, since I’m going to do it (for the first time ever) and give up wine. Bob and Chip politely declined 😂 but Frank told me he would think about it.... He just now said to me, “remember how you’re giving up wine for 40 years (which I promptly corrected to DAYS. DAYS, child.) so you can think about God and Jesus? I’ve decided to give up milk. So we can do it together and think about them together.” 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😭😭😭😭😭😍😍😍😍😍😍 sweet boy. 💙
