What happened to the days when kids got out for summer and just played in the neighborhood all day? When I was a child I was always on the swim team which meant I swam for an hour a day and then the rest of the day I was free except for on meet days. …

Did you know Easter was next Sunday?
You might think I am crazy, but how did Easter get here so quick? I was walking through Target today with Tiara when I suddenly realized Easter was next Sunday and I didn’t have anything to put in the Easter baskets. I know my kids are all older but they still except an Easter basket…
Am I really that embarrassing?
I think I have mentioned before that Trinity is constantly embarrassed by my presence. It still shocks me at times and today she really threw me for a loop. When Tiara and I pick her up from school everyday we used to walk onto campus and wait with all the other parents. I would…
If you need help, ask your kid!
As I have mentioned before I am a frustrated graphic designer. I love fabulous logos, great looking brochures and am envious of anyone who is a whiz at photoshop/photoelements or any program that can help you make beautiful stuff. I am getting better on Photoshop everyday but not good enough. A week ago I had…
Mini-me and I on a mission
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…
Have you ever had to rescue someone at the beach?
So today a near miracle occurred. Lou had the day off, and we have a new caretaker who just started, provided by the Regional Center, who is really eager to learn but still very green. With that in mind, Lou took Trinity to beach volleyball camp, I took Tiara for a walk and then…
Thinking it is who you know…
I know, sorry, but no journey with Tiara today. I wrote this post last week and forgot about it. Because I am hosting another dinner for 15 people tonight, ( my mother in laws birthday) and am totally overwhelmed as usual, I decided to make my life easy and post this instead of dredging…
Its all about Trinity…
Last night after dinner, Trinity was a bundle of nerves worrying about the Monster Mile today. As we were watching the Olympics, she just kept staring at Lou and I with this worried expression. So I asked her, “what is the worst thing that could happen tomorrow? ” I could die!” “Ok, the lifeguards are…
I only had to do the Heimlich once, but we survived!
So, as most of you know, I took Tiara to the fair yesterday. It was super humid and hot but I decided to forge ahead and follow through with my plan. At 3:30 Trinity and I loaded up the car, with 15 cans of food because every person who brought in 5 cans before…
Junior Lifeguard try-outs
Ok, I wasn’t going to start blogging until my site was perfect but I got so fired-up this morning I really needed to let off some steam. If you are a resident of Newport Beach, CA you have either personal experience with the Junior Lifeguard program or have heard about the infamous try-outs. Once your…
