Raising the Right Kind of Girl

by Kristi on April 2, 2012


“Who is our President again?” “Remember? You know who it is.” “Oh yea. Obama.” “Yep.” “He’s a boy.” “He is a boy. But the President could be a girl too.” “No! It’s a boy. It has to be a boy.” “No, honey, the President can be a woman. Hillary Clinton was almost going to run […]

Happy Valentine’s Day from Sweets Indeed

by Kristi on February 14, 2012


I won these adorable candy skewers from Sweets Indeed a custom candy and dessert station located in Los Angeles, CA. It was perfect timing as I had nothing planned for Valentine’s Day for Griffin! Sam had some cards and pencils but the younger classes always go FULL OUT in craziness. So I had him pass […]

It’s School Deposit Time

by Kristi on February 10, 2012 · 1 comment


Every year it seems to be earlier and earlier. The school starts prepping the parents. Open House plans are in full effect to ‘wow’ us into sending in that precious deposit to mark our spot for next year. Holy crap, we are spending HOW MUCH in private school? It always necessitates the freak out conversation. “Should […]

The Ongoing Dramatic Saga

by Kristi on February 7, 2012 · 2 comments


Some people have all the luck in potty training. You think you can go a few days or weeks with some bribes and then at some point it will work. Well good for you. *grumbles* Just kidding, Dave. We’ve been at these bribes for almost a year now. The list is long, my friends. It […]

Happy Holidays 2011

by Kristi on December 27, 2011 · 2 comments


I continually sigh at my inability to think of a smarter sounding title. But seriously, I hope you are enjoying your holidays! We had a relaxing and fun filled three days of family, good food, and wonderful gifts. Too many gifts! Actually I got tired of the kids asking if they could open MORE PRESENTS. […]

Christmas Excitement

by Kristi on December 10, 2011


We got a dog. She is gorgeous. My baby is 6. No longer a baby. My shopping is not done. This might help (Clocky, Knork, and that Jambox look interesting!) and I’m being sucked in my all the Groupons going on. Oops 🙂 More later. Plus, I have to catch up on all this TV […]

It’s here, it’s here! It’s the Disney D23 Expo that is starting on the 19th at the Anaheim Convention Center. Are you going? You may want to mosey on down there because I heard it’s got some amazing Disney artifacts from their Archives that you may want to check out! Trust me, I had my own little […]

Oh god, I got brave today and marched to my favorite nail shop where I have known the owner for years and asked if they did bikini waxes.  They did (I knew it) and I asked if my favorite girl who does (really, used to do) my eyebrows and no she doesn’t, the owner does […]

Mom to Mom Diapers from Vons

by Kristi on July 11, 2011


Ahhh, can anyone say POTTY TRAINING? We are never going to be done with diapers, NEVER. Why both kids are cursed with bowel problems is beyond me… Wait no, I have problems, and I think it is hereditary. Joyful. Seriously. I think they are both going to the G.I. specialist again too. Cursed. Anyway. GG […]

Kung Fu & Cars 2 at the Ultra Luxe

by Kristi on June 25, 2011


A few weeks ago I won tickets to see Kung Fu Panda at the new Ultra Luxe Theater at the GardenWalk in Anaheim. I was super excited because the husband and I had been arguing about viewing it with the kids. I said I had heard it was too violent and I wasn’t in love […]

Delicious Weekend

by Kristi on May 30, 2011 · 2 comments


What a beautiful weekend. We had some delicious dinners and time spent with family. Sammie and I baked on Saturday (those chocolate dipped brownie bites from Pioneer Woman PLUS the bacon wrapped turkey patties) which we had a great deal of fun.  Gymnastics and swimming lessons, plus the park. I saw a movie on Sunday […]

Well, people. I have now had my 3 minutes and 11 seconds of fame! I was interviewed by Dara Brown of MSNBC and it was such a quick and easy interview. I had a little scuffle trying to figure out my speaker on my laptop so I threw on my headphones but it was fun! […]

Finally Caught the Cold

by Kristi on February 18, 2011


It’s been going around so it was about time I got it… 🙂 I’m sure glad it is the weekend though! We were going to go up to the mountains but with the different storms and being sick, we decided to wait. Hopefully it will be a lazy weekend!
