Please check out her blog but here are a few excerpts that we love especially:
"While I was waiting in that hellish line (and all the lines were hellish), Dennis and Jack walked around and got some food and enjoyed themselves. They did some science experiments thanks to Mad Science (side note - I used to be a mad scientist and this company is amaze-balls), intently watched bigger kids play in the water bubbles, and found the best steak fries I've ever had in my entire life - I mean, I like potato wedges, but somehow these tasted like steak, like literally meaty, juicy steak. I don't know what else they did, but they had fun. And I waited in line."
"I hear about this mythical act of "putting your baby down to sleep," but I think it's just that, a myth. I'm just as likely to come across a unicorn as putting Jack down to sleep. "
"I drank the kool-aid, ya'll. As part of my 2015 goals, I promised myself I'd keep a day planner for the entire year, and I found one, and I'm already in deep. Like, really really deep. If you haven't already heard of Erin Condren Life Planners, then you might've been living under a rock because she has something of a cult following in the blogosphere. And I have joined the cult, yo. I bought the planner, joined the Facebook groups, watched the YouTube videos, and have stocked up on washi tape, stickers, and pens. You see, there are people out there who decorate their planners. And I don't mean just using color coded pens and a few cute calendar appointment stickers. I mean fyup. you should check it out lol. So thank you Jessica of The Reinvention of Jessica, we feel so motivated to blog like crazy, that and Laura Berg needs something to do at Everett's 3 am feedings.uckingDECORATE their planners, like, with scrapbooking supplies and stickers, and washi tape. Works of Art!!!"
