As you can see, Tiara has taken her art to a new canvas, my walls, my doors and my kitchen cabinets. Last night when Lou came home I said “Hey, did you see the walls? Look what she did!” His response, ” So what, didn’t you do that same thing at 3 years old?”…

You have to take your medicine!
If you are a parent, I am sure you have had to administer the dreaded oral antibiotics that taste disgusting once or twice to your child. As you know, it is not fun or pretty. Sometimes it takes bribery and serious coercion to get the medicine down. Well, Tiara has to take 17 pills…
Wow, it really does look like summer…
Clearly, I am having a little an obsession with my town, since I posted about it yesterday but today instead of driving around Newport I got to ride my bike. I love riding my bike to the beach! I grew up across the street from the beach but now I live about 5 or…
Memorial Day in Newport Beach…
I was going to write my normal Monday post, My Journey with Tiara, but Lou came home from Lake Arrowhead sick so I needed to deal with Tiara. While he went to the walk in clinic, I decided it would be fun for Tiara and I to drive around Newport looking at all the flags…
Please stop talking before I go crazy….
So, as I am sure you can all imagine, I can talk. I can talk so much I can make Louie’s eyes roll into the back of his head, but you will never find me talking when someone else is addressing a crowd. Yet, I find it fascinating that every time I attend…
Someone please explain this new trend….
I have been wondering for months why is it I see as many dogs in strollers as I see kids. I am not trying to be rude, but the whole phenomenon is totally baffling to me. When we bought our dog almost 6 years ago I was an avid watcher of the Dog Whisperer…
Another amazing trip to UCLA for the day….
So yesterday Tiara had a long overdue check up with her neurologist at UCLA. I have been trying to get her appointment since last December but they couldn’t get her in until yesterday. FYI, they have the best epilepsy department on the West Coast but you can’t really ever get in to see the…
Who do these kids belong to?
I know this may seem a little weird posting pictures of some kids I don’t even know, but they are hilarious and made us laugh so much I had to share. Sunday after church, the girls and I all went to Fashion Island with my parents for lunch. We can never decide…
Stop, don’t throw me away….
Sometimes Louie and the girls fail to eat the bananas quick enough and they end up like this in my fruit and vegetable holder, disgusting. If I would have peeled them 2 days before I could have froze them and used them in smoothies but I was being really lazy and didn’t so now…
Why does everyone say worry about yourself first?
I am so over hearing “what are you doing for you?” Take care of yourself first, You need to worry more about yourself, Find some time for yourself, You need a break”, etc, etc. I know people are just trying to be nice and they have been given this advice themselves so they are passing…
