Ever since Trinity was a toddler people started calling her mini-me. I guess it is because she has the blondest hair, well natural blonde that is, talks constantly like me, is super bossy like me AND loves projects, thrift store shopping and anything DIY. A few weeks ago I finally got over to see…

A trip down memory lane…
I have to say I was rather shocked that yesterday’s post was my 2nd most popular to date. I woke up in the middle of the night and realized I hadn’t included a picture and was going to get up and add one and thought “how stupid, Tiffani” your readers will be fine without a…
In response to your comment…
A reader left me a comment last week that really took me back. This was the comment: ” I feel so badly for Trinity. She’s been neglected and deprived a healthy emotional state.

Do you think professional family portraits are important?
I grew up in a family where taking professional family portraits, was a must. Almost every year my Mom arranged for us to have our picture taken by a professional. We would use the picture for our Christmas card and then have a few framed for the walls. Invariably my Mom would also buy…
Feeling bummed…
I think if you have a child who has a hard time socially you can probably understand how I am feeling right now, Left out! I could care less that my life is not conducive to meeting other families for dinner at a restaurant, or getting together on the weekends after sporting events, or meeting…

Last night Louie and I were sitting on the couch watching TV and I was complaining about my poochy stomach. Until recently, I always had a flat stomach, but suddenly my whole body has shifted and if I gain even 1 pound it shows on my belly not on my butt. My whole life…
Have you ever coned your ears?
Ok, by the time you finish reading this post, you will probably be in disbelief, maybe a little queasy and if you are anything like me, you will be on a mission to get your ears coned asap. So this is the story. About 6 years ago I was at lunch with a few ladies…
Is this what other people really do on the weekends?
As I mentioned last week, Louie and I were going overnight all the way to Fashion Island, approximately 4 miles from our house, to the Marriott to get away alone for a whole night. After messing around with the Islands Hotel and my Living Social voucher and checking all the other suggestions I received…
Sorry, but if your child isn’t good, they should sit on the bench!
I may become very unpopular today but I don’t really care. I was going to write this post last week but I was in such a twitter about the whole subject I decided to calm down and wait so I could discuss my opinion like a reasonable human being. Here it…
