Well, so it seems. There are fires everywhere! Not just tiny ones either…ones that are threatening our way of life!
Normally, fires in Southern California are just something I see on the news or I may be close enough to smell some smoke. But that’s it. They don’t typically affect me, though my heart goes out [...]

Take Lots of Pictures!
You can NEVER have too many photos. Especially is this age of digital photography.
I’m feeling a bit sentimental these days. I just got reacquainted with friends that my family met 20 years ago this summer. They are 4 brothers and even though 2 of my cousins married 2 of the brothers, it’s the other 2 [...]

There Goes My Sunblock Bill
I exercised AGAIN today. I love it. Oh, I’ll admit, it’s very hard to get going, but once I’m out there…I’m loving it!
Today my walking partner was sick. Instead of just staying home I decided to pack the kid up anyways and while I was at it, throw the jogger in the car. I make [...]

To Party or Not…That is the Real Question
My little baby…my tiny baby…the baby that is growing up WAY too fast will be 1 in about 5 weeks. I cannot believe it’s been that long since Zack has been in existence. Where it feels like only yesterday that I had him, I feel like he’s been with me forever.
My dilemma…should I throw the [...]

Oops, I Did it Again
I changed the name of this blog…AGAIN. I know, I know…stop it already. I am! This is the last name change, I swear.
In my quest to find my true self, it hit me today…this blog isn’t about randomness. True, it’s random garble, but it’s garble about the triumphs and stumbles of being a mom. Oh [...]

My New Toy
Check out what my camera can do!
(These girls are my darling little nieces!)
I’m not bragging, nor is this post endorsed by Panasonic (I’m not even going to get technical)…but I must say, this camera is sweet!
It’s a Panasonic TS-1. It is waterproof, shockproof, sand-proof (all necessary when you have young ones [...]

I’m a New Parent…But This Sounds Like Good Advice
Once again, Zen Habits has come through on a post that is uplifting and thought-provoking.
Leo Babauta talks about relaxing your parenting style a bit so that you are not a hyperparent.
I know that Zack is only 10-months old, but sometimes I feel like I’m being too, ummm, overprotective. I hate it when he plays in [...]

Home Grown = Bugs
I love the idea of fresh veggies. I like the idea of getting my veggies from my backyard and using them in the day’s dishes. What I don’t like…is all the freakin’ bugs.
David picked our lettuce on Monday and washed every leaf. I go to use it today in tacos and the first leaf I [...]

Blue Eyes
Do I really need to explain the title? Zack’s eyes are the bluest I’ve seen in a long time. This was taken in Laughlin and the only thing that was keeping him happy at this moment was hanging off of David’s legs into the water to play with the rocks.
This was Zack’s first boat ride. [...]

Good to be Home…
And sleep in my own bed between my own sheets on my own pillow in my own house.
Not that I don’t love vacations. I do. It’s always great to be out of the house and see something other than my walls in my city. But it’s also great to be home.
David, Zack and I spent [...]
