12 Days of Holiday Fun- Say Hello to a Snoopy Giveaway

December 13, 2011

Just last week, my family had a totally Snoopy-Christmas at Knotts Berry Farm. We had a delicious chicken dinner at Mrs. Knott’s Chicken Dinner restaurant and spent the day riding rides and viewing all the Holiday specials going on at Knott’s Merry Farm in Buena Park. The thing I like best about going to Knott’s […]

WordlessWednesday: First Day of School

September 8, 2010

Here’s a photo of my DH taking our youngest to his classroom. We woke up extra early today with a mixture of excitement and anxiety. Excitement for the kids and some anxiety for the parents. Our 4th grader was happy to see his friends again. Our Kindergartner who seemed a little worried at first perked […]

More Smores, Please

July 22, 2010

Alright I’ll give it a go. Full disclosure: I am posting this because I want to WIN an ULTIMATE Smores Prize Pack from www.SmoresSmiles.com and as a member of the Mom Bloggers Club. YEAH!!! It doesn’t take a backyard bbq or even a campout for me and my boys to bust out the Smores. Sometimes […]

Celeb Obsession – Please join my entourage

February 26, 2010

So I’ve been building these Fan Sites on a site called Fantourage. It’s a site that shows much promise – it’s fun because it combines my geeky-tech skills with my passion for certain celebs/bands/chefs/tv shows and a competition (to win points).

January 25, 2010

I’m singing out loud. We were the kings and the queens of PROMIIIIISEEE…The windows are down and outside the sun is shining, the sky is a bright happy blue. This IS how a Monday should be. And I’m singing along to Jared Leto, whom I will forever think of as Jordan Catalano. Hah…my mind drifts. […]

Forget your New Year’s Resolutions

December 31, 2009

Forget new year’s resolutions – they are always the same – eat less, exercise more, pray, love, be good yadda yadda – we always end up breaking them anyway. So I say, this year, I am declaring my new year’s INTENTIONS. I am sharing them with you so that I can be accountable and you […]

Go Elf Yourself and other fun stuff to do when you fail to mail out Christmas cards

December 22, 2009

Crunch time! If you haven’t gone to one of the mall studios or had your photos done by a professional photographer yet, then you’re probably scrambling to find that one awesome picture taken of you and your whole family that you can print from your home computer.

Memories trapped inside my Cellphone

September 16, 2009

Remember the shoeboxes stuffed with snapshots that you promised you’d put in a scrapbook or album? I think the cellphone is the 21st century equivalent of that. I mean, how many of you have snapped some precious “caught in the moment” pix with your cellphone camera? How many of you have downloaded those photos onto […]
