Since I have started blogging, I have developed a few online blogging friends. At least a year ago I started following Stacie, from Makeup Obsessed Mom Stacie and I became friends through commenting back and forth between our blogs and through tweets. Stacie lives in Texas and has 3 beautiful children and a hubby. …
happy moments
Where to begin?
Let’s start with the phone call I received at 7:30 this morning. It was Tiara’s caretaker, ” My boyfriend and my son both have the stomach flu. It is crazy over here and I can’t come to work today.” me: “Ok, well you can’t come tomorrow either because even if you aren’t sick, you could…
A busy weekend!
I am sure, like myself, almost every single one of you had a busy weekend. My weekend started on Thursday night with Trinity’s Christmas program at school. I went to watch while Louie stayed home and took care of Tiara. We let Trinity pick who she wants to attend her program and I was the…
Almost ready for Christmas…
So my room is done and I really like it. The weird thing is that all my previous accessories still look good, so no need to buy anything new. I really wanted to add a white funky Ikea light fixture but that would require an electrician so I am going to pass for now. I…
A gift for one of my readers!
I was contacted by a very special company who sells 1000’s of beautiful products created by artisans around the globe. Novica.com sent me a gift certificate for $75 to their website for me to use how ever I chose in exchange for writing about their amazing website. Instead of using it for myself I decided…
Is a cold life threatening for Tiara?
This is the question Trinity asked me on Friday afternoon after I told her I had taken Tiara to the doctor’s earlier in the day because she was coming down with a cold. The way she phrased this question really struck me. How many 11 year old’s would use the phrase “life threatening”? It…
Wordless Wednesday strikes again…
This is Tiara and I in our matching outfits getting ready to go for our morning walk today. It was freezing out, so we really had to bundle up! I mean freezing for Southern California, 40 something degrees. Under her sweater she is wearing the same striped thermal as me. I love to do…
The couch saga continues…..
If you have been reading my blog for a year, you know about my couch saga but for everyone else and those who have forgotten all the gory details, let me catch you up. Two years ago I bought a white leather sectional from Macy’s after much deliberation. I mean I obsessed over getting the…
My guest post at Wego Health…..
I recently wrote a guest post for Wego Health entitled “Caregivers, Take Time For Yourself (Really, How I am I supposed to do that?)” I thought you might enjoy reading it since my post is going to be rather short today. I linked the article title, so just click on it and it will take…
Another almost wordless wednesday…
Today I am showing you a bunch of pictures because I am beyond exhausted. Lou and I had an phone appointment at 6am this morning and all night I kept waking up worrying about missing the appointment. I am sure you all know that feeling of worrying about missing something important so you can’t sleep.. …
