(My daughter's roller skates.) Don't miss the OC RollerGirls this Saturday night in Huntington Beach. No one does roller derby like those phenomenal brats skating for The OC Roller Girls. You can get your tickets by clicking, here. Haven't been to a roller derby bout before (awww, poor thing)? Watch my video from last year's "Suburban Assault": A […]
Things that make you go Eww
I spotted this at the cosmetic counter of Bloomingdales over the holidays. The Benefit's Justine Case Overnighter Kit is for that quaint "unexpected sleepover." Um, ewww! Never before has trampy tried so hard to be clever, cutesy, and efficient. The idea is you can pack this little kit in your Juicy bag (just guessing) and "just in case" you find […]
The 10 all-time best make out songs, ever **
**Sort of. When I started to compile this list I thought it would be easy. "The 10 all-time best make out songs, ever?" No problem. But, then, after firmly placing three songs on the list, the task became overwhelming to me. The gravity and importance of the chore became more than I could handle alone. So […]
Hockey and the Holy Roller
(Ericka and Jill at the Ducks game on Tuesday night) I took my girlfriends, Jill & Ericka, to the Ducks game last week. We have shared season tickets and the same usual suspects surrounding us at every game we attend (except this mean guy who made fun of me–remember him? He was a onetime deal). […]
When things aren’t just things
I think the hardest lessons to teach our kids are the ones we haven't quite learned ourselves. This became plain to me when I pitched a fit over all the THINGS my kids had and announced that after Christmas we were going to give a painful amount of their things away. They cried at the […]
Say it isn’t SNOW!
I’m not a snow person. I can count on one hand how many times I’ve been in the snow. I’m firmly a California Coast girl–born in Orange County and attending college in San Francisco. I don’t have much snow cred and frankly, that’s okay with me. Here I am in the snow in Palm […]
It’s beginning to look a lot like a kegger
Wide-eyed and excited, a little girl walks down the aisle at Toys “R” Us in Irvine. She stops at the Bratz section and picks up one of the heavily made up dolls who’s sporting a mid-drift and thigh-high stockings. “Stop right there!” I shout, startling her. “Put that down, NOW!” I scream as I lunge […]
Birthday card I made for myself ♥
Today is my birthday.
SkyWatch Orange County: The Fun Zone
This is my SkyWatch Friday photo for the week. I thought the happy, blue sky would be a welcome sight for some readers in parts of the world that are having dreary, grey skies. Happy Friday from Balboa Island in Orange County.
Lessons in parenting: Lying to your kids
I lie to my kids all the time. I know I’m not supposed to lie. I teach my kids not to lie. But it’s completely impossible to navigate the murky, treacherous waters of parenting without inserting a doozie of a fib every once in a while. I’m not talking about the standard “untruths” we tell […]
