This is one of my best friends from college, Laura. She was, note the emphasis on was, an amazing graphic designer in her day. She has 4 girls and as a result hasn’t worked in 15 years. I have been bugging her about my logo for my blog, because I don’t have…

Why do I even bother?
Have you ever done something nice for someone and then immediately regretted it? That is how I felt today. Spring Break was so long and now that everyone, except TT and I were finally back to work and school, I thought it would be nice to do something new with Tiara. She is always…
rainy days aren’t good for poor sports….
Well, you may not know this about me but I am a really poor sport. I don’t really like to play games with my kids because I am super competitive and start calling everyone names and act really bad. It is super pathetic I know, but I can’t help it. Whenever we play…
blogging for money?
Well, when I started writing this blog on February 19, I came up with several goals for myself. The first was I had to figure out how to put up my own website, which I accomplished. I still am an infant in the “website development” world, but my blog is up and running,…
Someone please tell me spring break is over!
Spring break, Summer break, Christmas vacation, ski week, all wonderful times for everyone else, but a nightmare for me. A break, means a change in routine and that means trouble in the Goff house.

What is worse, no eye cream for the morning or bouncing a ball inside Neiman Marcus?
Decisions, decisions. When I woke up this morning and put on my eye cream, I realized I was almost out. I checked my back up stash and it was empty, OMG this is a catastrophe. As you realize from reading my blog there are a few things I am really hung up on. I…
If you belong to a church, go there….
This is my church, Our Lady of Mount Carmel on Balboa Boulevard in Newport Beach. I have been attending this church my whole life. It was here that I made My First Communion, My Confirmation, was Married to Lou and baptized 2 of my children. Poor Tabitha was baptized in Northern California, but that…
birthday traditions…
In the Goff family we have big birthday traditions. When you wake up on your birthday, the family room is always decorated with streamers in your favorite colors. You can either request up to 3 colors in advance or we surprise you. Lou has gotten really good at streamers, he is almost professional. Lucky for…
Who burps really loud in public?
Well, Tiara does and she thinks it is really funny. If it weren’t so embarrassing and rude to the other people around us I would think it was really funny too. OK, I am lying, it is really funny, but I try not to laugh when she burps in public because I don’t want to…
