I can’t stop taking on writing adventures. Poor “accomplished” Suzanne Broughton doesn’t stand a chance any longer. I can just see her resisting the urge to google herself, finally giving in, and cursing the day I ever decided to start blogging. I suppose there is the possiblity she just doesn’t care to be the most […]
I’ll remember it, Dublin in a rainstorm
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day. I feel like telling a little Irish story–my very own Irish story. When I was nineteen I went to Germany to visit my brother and, for reasons that are too complicated to explain now, I ended up traveling alone to Ireland. Armed with a Youth Hostel pass, an enormous backpack and […]
Kickin’ it Disney style
Well, we arrived in Florida yesterday for our Disney vacation. Yes, we made it! No matter how much you prepare for an airplane ride with young kids–sugar- infused snacks, Leapsters, iPods loaded with audio children's books, even surprise teeny, tiny army men–it is just against all laws of nature to expect a kid to sit […]
To cut a long story short I’ve lost my mind
I’ve decided to do something I will instantly regret as soon as post this; I’m going to title each post for the next month with either the name of a song or lyrics. Well, maybe not exactly the name, but some variation. There is absolutely no point in doing this, just thought I would make […]
My (totally) lame (Anaheim) Ducks story
Reluctantly, I went to my very first Mighty Ducks hockey game a couple of weeks ago. More specifically, it was my first hockey game ever. Our friends, Tim and Cathy, are season ticket holders and kindly invited Larry, my husband, and me. Oh my! The pushing and shoving, the unsportsmanlike behavior, the spite exhibited to […]
Moms of the Caribbean: The curse of having to wear a swimsuit in March
My family and I are setting sail on The Disney Cruise this Thursday. The cruise is a gift for my fortieth birthday …so mature of me, I know. I am an unabashed Disney freak (See Proof Here) and my husband and three other families have indulged me. Our kids are beside themselves with anticipation, "How many days now, Mom?" […]
Huntington Beach Car Show
I am playing catch-up in my posting…The Mom Blog, the up and coming “Alive in Wonderland” column and starting a new travel blog “Checking in” has put me behind–one week behind to be exact. Snapped these pictures at the Car Show in Huntington Beach last Saturday. Whenever I am downtown it makes me a little […]
Random Weekend: This one goes out to the Blogs I love
Same ‘ol bossy behavior, new weekend. These are blogs I have in my Bloglines. If you don’t use Bloglines, you should. (Bossy) So simple to use; create an account (for free), add all of your favorite blogs (I will help you find some new ones), and then throw it up there on your bookmark bar. […]
This weekend on The Mom Blog, on “Mommy’s Mind Is Not A Toy”
I am going on The Disney Cruise on Thursday, did I not mention that? I can’t believe I haven’t. I am starting to confuse real life conversations with what I write on my blog–scary virtual boundary issues happening. I wrote about buying a swimsuit in March and used some unforgivable puns on The Mom Blog […]
Twitter Widget
I have just added Twitter to my blog. I was having trouble getting it up on my site initially and had to write the crack team at Typepad for help–seriously, they are good. This is part of the message I sent to them…”having problems with my Twitter Widget?” I just think that’s funny, Twitter Widget. […]
