If you are a mama with a little girl, you probably attempt (and may succeed) in doing your daughters hair. I personally did not put many head bands or bows in my 1st daughters hair when she was a...
Well, I've reached another first as a mom. You know, first time baby laughs, first steps, first time kid barfs on you in public, etc. This week's first was my older daughter's first preschool field trip. I was lucky...
We live in an internet-centered world. So much of what we learn comes from the cyber world, and frankly, I don't know what I would do without it. When I was a kid, I had to go to the...
When it comes to dressing myself and my toddler son, I seldom pay full price. I am extremely frugal when it comes to this area, to the point where I am almost embarrassed to share this post with you...
So, I’m running up against a parenting issue that has me kind of stumped at the moment… as has happened before, and I’m sure will happen MANY times again. It’s the issue of teaching kids about personal safety, “stranger...
Well, what a fun night last night we had at our first Mom's Night Out! It was so good to meet many of you, and to catch up with some of you I haven't seen in awhile.
We just wanted...
Alright, so fall is technically here, although you could have fooled me, Phoenix. I'm eagerly waiting some crisp air and changing of the leaves so I can justify all my baking, drink warm, yummy drinks, and wear my boots....
Tears well in my eyes as I glance into your room and find you asleep, half on & half off your bed, in your usual nap position. It all began with an hour and 40 minutes of “trying” to...
One activity that my kids love to do is playdough. I, too, remember being at preschool as a young child and one of my favorite things was making and playing with peanut butter playdough. You get to make it, play...
Labor Day weekend was a blast for my family! We took a trip to Disneyland with my parents, brother and sister-in-law, and some close family friends. For my mom's birthday she invited me to walk the Disneyland 1/2 Marathon....

The ultimate question that is asked every day, by not only your spouse, by your kids, and sometimes 3 times a day! I struggle nightly, weekly, and sometime daily with new meal plans. I cannot be the only woman...
My husband and I have a group of really close friends that we have had since before we we're married. In that group, we are the only ones who have kids. We get together with them regularly and most...
Have you ever belonged to a dinner or cooking club? There are so many variations to this idea. My favorite experience was with some friends in Seattle. There were several couples that got together every month for what we...
I get more than a little self conscious when I think too hard about my situation: I write for a mom blog, yet I'm not the person who spends most of the day with my kids. I change maybe...
This week's Playdate.
Well, we've been slacking in the playdate arena this past month. Between vacations and school starting back up the weeks have just flown by and here we are mid September already. Please join us this Wednesday at...
Over the summer I started making these smoothies when I noticed my son started eating everything but his veggies. I want to make sure he eats well, and I while I will always offer veggies with meals, I also...
Last month my daughter began going to preschool two mornings a week, and she loves it. I love it too- I love the fact that she’s having such a great time playing and interacting, and I’m also loving the...

It's that time of year when the kids have gone back to school, and for us teachers, that means back to work. It is always an exciting and trying time. There's new schedules to be worked out, new teachers...
My husband and I bought this cute little cabinet from Goodwill last fall when we were going to move. We did have a picture of it, but we can't find it! So, you'll have to imagine the before. It...
