Last minute we signed Rune up to play #kidssoccer Last minute we signed Rune up to play #kidssoccer and today was his first game. He did really well at dribbling and kicking but got overwhelmed by all the kids getting close to him and trying to kick the ball. Tears were shed and hand balls were a plenty. I’m not even sure if his team won or not but it was adorable yet hilarious to watch these little guys. Shout out to lil miss Natalie who scored the most goals and ran circles around the boys.  Will Rune give soccer another try? Stay tuned for next week when the Clawson Puppies play again xoxo.#clawsonmichigan  #clawsonsoccer Also, thanks to both sets of grandparents for attending! After the game we got some Pokémon toys for Rune at @noblefishsushi and ate burgers and chicken strips @detroitburgerbar Also, #gogreen 😍🥳

Lola is the cutest lil stinker. She does what she Lola is the cutest lil stinker. She does what she wants. She climbs everything. When she is done eating, we have to be fast or else she throws her food on the floor. She karate chops her brother. She already knows how to punch without being taught. But when she wraps her arms around me and calls me “pretty mama” I know she’s really an angel sent from above👼

Even though we live in the tiny city with the big heart, there sure are a lot more kids than what we are used to but Rune loves that. Soar baby soar! ❤️ #firstdayofschool

Gemma is settling in at home and we are taking tim Gemma is settling in at home and we are taking time to rest and relax after family visited. We are getting Rune ready to start kindergarten which sounds crazy. My maternity leave winds down in September so I want to enjoy the time I have left and plan some fun activities.  Everything revolves around breastfeeding/pumping which is actually going really well. It took my body having 3 kids to figure it out. 🤷🏼‍♀️ yay me! #newbaby
Yahoo Baby Gemma is home!! She still has a feeding Yahoo Baby Gemma is home!! She still has a feeding tube in but that’s ok!  She stayed up the first half of the night adjusting to her new home so I’m very tired but happy. Lola adores her and Rune is being very nurturing because he wants to be a good big brother. All in all it’s pure chaos but once we get into a new routine, things will settle down! #newbaby

Update on baby Gemma! It’s been about six weeks Update on baby Gemma! It’s been about six weeks since Gemma was born and she is still in the #nicu. We have seen babies half her size leave faster. Last week Paul, Marge (Paul’s mom) and I took turns feeding baby Gemma all day and all night for four days and nights at the hospital in hope that we would reach the feeding requirements to bring her home. We almost did it but Gemma wasn’t gaining the weight she needed to go home so we put her feeding tube back in and are giving it more time. Rune told his teachers at school that Gemma couldn’t go home because she has too many nipples and that they have  to remove them first. Ha! He must have heard us talking about “nippling” since that’s what the nurses call her feeding, and formed his own conclusions.  He also told Paul that Gemma wouldn’t be able to ride a bike since she has “no legs” which was assumed since she is always in a swaddle😅 The good news is that Gemma is slowly being able to drink more, and so far additional testing hasn’t found any physical issues responsible for the developmental delay nor expect her to have other issues. 🌈

Rune is a curious boy. This week he has wanted to Rune is a curious boy. This week he has wanted to know how many octopuses exist in the world. Do trees grow all the time? How do you know if something is alive? How was I made? When does Lola turn into a boy?  What food do ants eat? His brain is always working at full blast so he will either wear his teachers out or they will love him❤️ #precocious #boymom

    The Pretty Reckless @ St. Andrew’s Hall 10-25-13 (Photos, Setlist & Review)

    October 26, 2013 / 0 Comments

    By Alexis Simpson Taylor Momsen is one of the most talented, ballsy, sultry and attractive women in rock ‘n roll today. Fortunately she always make it a point to stop in Detroit when touring. Ms. Momsen brought along her band to St. Andrew’s Hall for the Going to Hell tour which coincidentally is the name of the band’s latest single. This is a sort of “pre-tour” to prepare fans for their new album which is expected to be released in early 2014. Taylor Momsen easily commanded the stage last Friday with her coltish legs, doe eyes, and serpentine  movements. Female fans wanted to be her, male fans wanted to have…

    Taylor Momsen’s The Pretty Reckless @ The Crofoot in Pontiac, MI 4/3/12 (Photos, Setlist & Concert Review)

    April 5, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Members Taylor Momsen – Vocals Ben Phillips – Guitar Mark Damon – Bass Jamie Perkins – Drums http://www.theprettyreckless.com Taylor Momsen was relaxed, playful and gracious during her performance for a sizable crowd of enthused fans. Momsen possesses a strong voice ideal for rock. Tuesday night she convincingly switched from soft and sultry to grovely and hardcore best evidenced by the song “My Medicine.” The Pretty Reckless played a skillful mix of old favorites, covers, and new material off the Hit Me Like  a Man EP. Momsen was in town last October in order for the band (see photos here) to open up for Evanescence. With the release of the new EP and their latest…

    Taylor Momsen – Vocals Ben Phillips – Guitar Mark Damon – Bass Jamie Perkins – Drums http://www.theprettyreckless.com I bet when Taylor Momsen’s friends want to tease her, they call her by the nickname of her Gossip Girl character, “Little J.” There ain’t nothing “little” about frontwoman Taylor Momsen-she is all woman. Even though she’s only 18 years old, Taylor knows exactly what she wants and gets it. Years ago Ms. Momsen admirably recognized that she wanted to front a band and play her kind of music. Momsen’s ability to pursue and recognize her passions at a young age is of great respect. Taylor’s choice of covering The White Stripes “Seven…
