Sunday night one of my best friends from college, Mara, came to dinner. She lives in Arizona so I usually only see her a couple of times a year, but whenever she is in town she always comes over to drink wine with Louie and I. After we drank our chardonnay, ate salmon and…

Am I in trouble or what?
I mean if they passed out awards for giving the meanest looks, Tiara would win by a mile. She has always been very expressive with her face, which has enabled her to get her point across even when she couldn’t verbally communicate her wants, needs or dislikes. Even though she can now pretty much…
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…

What to give up for Lent?
For Lent this year I am considering giving up cleaning- up after my kids? Wow, what a concept. They pick up their own rooms, clean their own dishes, wash their own clothes and sweep the house after each meal. Love it…. This is what my family room is supposed to look like: But…
