I’m really hoping this will be our one and only Asthma Swatch this year. And I am very grateful that it was minor and short-lived. The pollen counts skyrocketed here over the weekend. To the point where people without seasonal allergies were having allergy problems, as told to me by my pharmacist. Her’s were so [...]

Doin’ Disney Day 3 – the hotel edition part 2
Posted in Disneyland, life, vacation on April 13, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Skye continued to entertain herself (and me) I heard voices from under the bed, apparently it was an undersea cave. Cabin Fever anyone?! At least Vomitfest has packed up and gone home early. Skye stole my hot bubble bath idea. I have been informed that we are pretending her horse is actually a seahorse. Because [...]
Doin’ Disney Day 3 – the hotel edition part 1

I was awakened at 4:30 am Wednesday morning to the sounds of Sean throwing up on the hotel carpet because he couldn’t make it to the bathroom. My tummy was slightly queasy so I thought maybe it was the burgers we had last night at the Hungry Bear in Adventureland. But Sean continued to vomit [...]

Sunday, April 3, 2011 – my oldest daughter Cali turned 20 years old. That is CRAZY!! (I think I may over use that expression. Anyway…) Because we are just a couple of wild n’ crazy girls, we decided a wild n’ crazy adult girls day trip was in order!! ‘Cause that’s how we roll. And [...]
A Whole Lotta Nuthin’

I was hoping to have a cleaver, witty yet informative entry for today. Or a recipe. Or a product review. Or at least some pictures. But alas, I have naught. What I do have is a raging headache. A I-really-hope-it-doesn’t-turn-into-a-migraine-headache. And that, my friends, totally sucks. So instead, since it opens today, I’ll direct you [...]
Spring has Sprung

This the tree Skye dubbed “The Monster Tree” when we first moved in. She was 2. This tree totally freaked her out. She would run from the car to the front door and vice versa. I thought this was hilarious, but tried my best to choke back my guffaws and comfort her. This too much [...]

Yesterday I started working on the BodyBugg product review. I love my BodyBugg (haha, I just typo-d BodyButt!!) I was going to take some pictures, do some screen shots and link over some info from their website. Cause I love my SO much!! I also needed to stop at the store on the way home [...]
St. Patty’s Day – recap
Posted in holidays, life, St. Patrick's Day on March 20, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
I grew up with a mom who LOVED the holidays. I swear, she lived for them. Especially the decorating. Oh My Gawd how she loved the decorating. We had decorations for every holiday save Groundhog- and Arbor-day. Mostly those big cardboard cut-outs from the ’70s with the arms and legs attached by brads so the [...]
Burn Out
Posted in life on February 15, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
There’s “getting real” and then there’s just enough already. I feel like even when I’m trying to be positive, things around here are just too serious and weighty (pun intended). I’m really a much more light-hearted person. I’m not sure why that’s not coming across lately. Maybe because right now, I’m just tired. Very tired. [...]
It was about Valentine’s Day but now it’s not

This post originally started out as something else. But as I was writing it went in a different direction. So I decided to start over… I am one of those people who’s wall “art” is dozens of Walmart picture frames full of photos I took of my kids. These aren’t all artsy or photoshoppy. These [...]
