I used to travel back home to California at least once a year. I would tote all of my little kids on the plane with me – each child had a backpack full of snacks, a sippy cup, books, blanket, and paper and crayons to keep them busy during the flight. I would manage the…
Take Your Pix Board Book Albums Review
Way back when, I was an avid scrapbooker. I still have the stickers and the paper and the gel pens to prove it. However, my scrapbooking partner moved, my life got busier, I started blogging…..and scrapbooking fell to the way side. I didn’t realize how much I missed it until I got my…
Crochet Headband Tutorial
I am so thrilled to be featured for the second year on Skip to My Lou’s Summer Craft Camp. Last year, my super easy Kite Tutorial was highlighted during the craft camp. Today, my very first crochet tutorial is featured on Skip to My Lou, and I thought I’d let you guys know. If you…
Heart and Soul
Normally, when the kids pluck at the piano, I can’t wait for them to stop. Only KitKat has taken piano lessons. Necco is my violinist and guitar player. Reese has recently showed some very promising piano skills. She has my Grandma’s ear for music and can pick out a song on the piano despite the…
Cube Dog – A Surprisingly Fun App for iPhone and iTouch
Thank you to Cube Dog for sponsoring this review. For more information about Cube Dog please visit the Facebook page or download it on iTunes. I keep reminding my kids (particularly my 10 year old son) that I did not get an iPhone so that they could play games. I do have an iTouch for…
Slip N Slide (Trying to Stay Cool!) – PSF Linky
We’ve had record heat these past few weeks, and although the kids are still in school for another week, it definitely FEELS LIKE SUMMER. We have been running the AC non-stop and blowing fans in every room. And when that doesn’t work, we turn on the water and play in the back yard. Anything to…
Family Movie Night Returns
My son once asked me if TVs were invented when I was a kid. Yes, son, in fact TVs have been around much longer than Mom. I actually watched quite a bit of TV when I was growing up (a fact that my kids have a hard time accepting, since we currently don’t have TV…
Eyelashes – Wordless Wednesday
The other day, KitKat and Reese gave each other make-overs. When they walked downstairs to show me, I was shocked at Reese’s eyelashes. KitKat took Reese outside and snapped a few pictures. Is this crazy or what? PS – she is eight years old. Linked up to Wordful Wednesday, Wordish Wednesday, and Wordless Wednesdays all…
Allergy-Friendly Living
I wrote this post while participating in a blog tour conducted by Clever Girls Collective on behalf of Claritin®. I have been compensated for my time commitment to the program. When I was growing up in Northern California, I had the occasional itchy eye or fits of sneezing. But I never considered my allergies a…
Former Sectretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger Dies
I don’t get involved in politics and I don’t write political posts. But this report is not political. This is personal. Lawrence Eagleburger was not only a career diplomat and Secretary of State (among countless other achievements) – he was a friend and mentor. I got an email from CandyMan this morning with the news….
