Another blissful day at Disneyland yesterday (read about my love for Disneyland Here.) You know you are dialed-in to the “Mom” scene of Orange County when you run into more then two people you know at Disneyland–which I did. (pictured right, Lisa, Nicole, Jana and Jill) While there, I was intrigued by a mom who […]
“Honey, I am going to have to write you up for tonight’s dinner”
Sometimes I think if being a housewife were an actual “Job” I would get fired, or at least I would be on probation. I enjoy being a mom and a wife, more then enjoy it, I love it. But the actual talent needed to be a good housewife– cooking, cleaning, shopping for bargains–I simply lack. […]
Things Mommy wishes she could stop doing…
Stop referring to myself as “mommy.” Stop being co-dependant with my three-year-old accident-prone dog by hiding her “mistakes” from my husband. Stop searching for reasons to go to Target. Stop getting food from the drive-through and calling it having a “picnic in the car.” Stop checking my blog stats counter. Stop looking for my old […]
Whining–A Young Child’s Only Weapon
I was inspired by my son, Ben, to make an Acrostic from the word “Whining.” I adore every inch of him, but he has become a champion whiner. Maybe it will help me in the heat of battle. I am sure some of you can relate. W – Whenever a young child feels helpless, he […]
Only A Small Portion Of Bliss For Me, Please
Tonight my kids are staying at my Mom’s, the cleaners have been here and Larry picked up Chin Chin for dinner so, when I walked in the front door I thought, “my house actually has a shot at staying this way for at least a little while.” It is weird because on a “normal” day–messy […]
Santa has tremendous artistic talent
Marisa at Creative Thursday made this painting for Emily for Christmas. Well, she made it for Santa to GIVE to Emily this Christmas. It is, in order, Hazel, Kitty Kitty, Mr. Darcy, Lizzy, Peter Rabbit and Fluffy. These are all the pets we have right now. How precious is this going to be to Emily? […]
Get The Kids Together For A Spaz-Fest
I don’t care for the terms “play date”, “girl’s night out” or “date night.” To me they just cheapen the experience of, kids playing, hanging out with your friends and going out with your guy. They seem like terms made up by an editor of some parenting magazine. I “do” all of these things, but […]
It Was A Blustery Day At Disneyland
I am a Disneyland person. There are three types of people in Orange County, those who love it, those who don’t and those who only like it on a perfect day. I am firmly in the first mouse-eared camp. I know you are thinking, hoping, crossing your fingers, that I am not one of “those” […]
Emily, Future Style Editor?
My daughter Emily watched all the goings-on at our house when we were getting ready for the photo shoot for the fashion layout in Broughton Quarterly. She took it all in and then, on Sunday, she declared, “Mom, I am going to do my own photo shoot.” Hearing her say “photo shoot” was priceless, like […]
