A few years ago, a family moved in near us. I instantly hit it off with the mom, and our similarly-aged kids became best of friends. Our teens got together for loads of movie parties, our kindergarteners had Type A Conference, I took their kids (all 7 of them!) down to

Type A Conference Recap
Despite what some people may think, I am not social by nature. I am the typical introvert who gets worn out by being around crowds of people. And yet, I have this crazy, conflicted, overwhelming desire to BE SOCIAL. Since I started blogging in 2007, I have been meeting and developing relationships with more people…
Type A Conference Rocked by #TeamLeticia – Wordless Wednesday
I would love to keep this post completely wordless. The simple fact that I am posting these terribly embarrassing pictures and video are proof that I have lost it. Despite the embarrassing nature of this video and the tight neon outfit that I was wearing, these images represent the most fun I’ve had in a…
Monte Carlo – Summer Movie With My Girls!
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Monte Carlo for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Summer break is my favorite time to check out movies in the theater. With the kids off school and the day time hours free, plus the fact that we are always looking for ways to…
Ovaltine Awesome Summer Giveaway
When I was a kid, Summer time was about playing outside all day long. Summer was about swinging and swimming and sweating. If I asked my kids about Summer today, I bet they would say the same thing. My favorite childhood Summer time memories occurred in Lake Tahoe. Before I was born, my grandparents had…
Coming to Terms With My Son’s Bedwetting
Potty Trained! The day that I declared AJ fully potty trained was a happy one. Reese had just recently stopped wetting the bed at night just 2 months before, and since my first three kids had stayed dry at night as soon as they day-time trained, I figured that AJ would follow the majority. I’m…
#Typeacon – Photostory Friday
On Wednesday morning, I set off with three blogging friends in a new Dodge Grand Caravan and drove 8 hours to Asheville, North Carolina, for the Type A Parent Conference. Today, I attended several hours of blogging classes, and I’ve been taking copious notes. But because the internet has been spotty at best at the…
Finally – a Break! Wordless Wednesday
I should have taken a picture of my finally-packed suitcase and van. But in the middle of my panic attack, taking a picture was the last thing on my mind. So, as I prepare for my trip to North Carolina tomorrow morning, I’ll share this picture of my little friend from a photo shoot last…
Preparing for a Blogging Conference
In an incredible turn of events, I was able to arrange to go to Type A Parent Conference this year. And I am so far from being ready. There is always a ton to do before a trip, and I will inevitably forget to do or pack something before I leave. Times like these…
Let’s Hear It For The Boys
The kids and I took a quick trip down to Norfolk, Virginia this past weekend to celebrate my brother in law and new sister in law’s recent wedding (the wedding I attended in Costa Rica). After 15 or so hours in the car with 5 kids I am even more ready for my trip to…
