(Ryan Getzlaf, 2009. Photo by me) Remember in the movie Jerry Maguire when he stays up all night and writes his Mission Statement (not a mission statement, a memo). Then almost immediately regrets distributing 150 copies to his colleagues. Well, after the Ducks lost game 7 of the playoffs on Thursday night, I wrote mine about hockey. It turned out to be about […]
Skywatch Orange County: Mickey confetti
Disneyland really is filled with magic moments, you just have to know where to look. "It's magic, I know. Never believe it's not so." ✻✻✻✻✻✻✻ For SkyWatch Friday. If you would just love to see what the sky looks like from all over the world, go here. Hundreds of people do each week.
Mensa Mamma
I just can't control myself — helping my second grader with her homework makes me feel like a genius. Well, maybe not a genius, but at bit like Alex Trebek at a Spelling Bee. "I'm sorry [cue pity face], the correct answer is t-r-o-U-b-l-e." Then I like to show off a little by using it […]
Confession #12: My new, old Converse
In an attempt to be perfectly attired for the Ducks game last week I bought a pair of black Converse. My goal is to have a standard Ducks outfit I wear to each game. I also do the same thing for Disneyland (and sadly, no, that's not my confession). I settled on an orange shirt, […]
Wishing you warm memories of your mom
All day I've been thinking about my friends who have lost their moms. It seems as the years go by more of us have to say good-bye to our parents. Tomorrow I wish everyone warm memories of their mom if they can't be with her. If you are a mom, I wish you a […]
Mamas let your daughters GROW UP to be cowgirls
Sometimes, as a parent, you can prepare for those big moments in a kid's life. You see them coming like a herd of angry, stampeding elephants. You can brace yourself. You can practice your speech. You can make sure you have your running shoes on. But, the hard part of parenting comes when those moments […]
An OC Girl’s guide to dude ranching
I just returned last night from a trip to Kay el Bar Ranch in Arizona. It’s one of those Dude Ranches where you can go for a few days and live like a real cowboy girl. That is if cowgirls can soak in the jacuzzi every night, get a fresh lemonade on the trail and […]
An Orange County girl’s guide to Dude Ranching
I wrote “An Orange County Girl’s Guide to Dude Ranching” over at MomCrush. Mosey on over and take a look-see, ya’all. (Promise, last of the cowgirl talk.)
Not a single Peep
I started to panic a little when I walked into Target this morning to get things for my kids' baskets and there weren't any Peeps in the $1 section. "Must be back in the seasonal section," I tried to reassure myself. But, no! Target was completely out by 10 am, Saturday morning. They had legions […]
The Tell-Tale Toy, by Suz Broughton
TRUE! How very, very annoyed I was with that inane toy. My best friend pawned it off on my young daughter, Emily. The instant the toy made my daughter laugh, she said, "Why don't you take it home with you, Em!" Then hastily shoved the toy in the diaper bag to make sure we took […]
