REI is the Devil

by Kristi on May 31, 2014


For all those camping trips I will never take, for all those hiking plans I will never make… I still want everything in REI. Neat little gadgets that I should DEFINITELY have for our upcoming glamping trip… the husband somehow dragged me out of there with only a few small things. The clothes… the gadgets. […]

Got my Hairs Did

by Kristi on May 30, 2014 · 2 comments


    My friend texted me an adorable photo of her daughter with new side bangs. It got me thinking about my old boring hair style of straight straight straight. So I decided that I wanted a bit of a change for summer. I was envisioning a more dramatic cut but I sort of chickened […]

It’s Hot Somewhere

by Kristi on May 27, 2014


I’m not sure what to blame this post on. Men? Money? Fix-it companies? Sigh. Our air conditioning broke about two weeks ago when we had that huge heat wave in Southern California. Clearly a first world problem, our upstairs unit worked fine and the downstairs unit broke. Yes, we have two units. Since the upstairs […]

Busy & Lazy Saturday

by Kristi on May 24, 2014


How can it be both, you ask? Well the morning was spent listening to children run around and play (we had a sleepover over here) and I tried another pancake recipe. I didn’t like it as much but the husband did. It was fluffier than the last one which was nice though. Then we ran […]

My Lemon Tree

by Kristi on May 16, 2014


My lemon tree produces enough lemons to feed the entire city. I simply can’t use that many lemons. Plus, our gate is broken which requires me to jump the gate, or the fence, to pick said lemons. That requires me to put on tennis shoes, which requires me to walk upstairs and find socks, which […]

Family Games

by Kristi on May 14, 2014


What are your favorite family games to play? Our kids start getting a little anxious and want to DO things with us, imagine that. So we usually break out a game when we aren’t overloaded with afternoon activities or homework. Some of our favorites are: – Skip bo – A favorite when I was young. All […]

Mother’s Day Recap

by Kristi on May 12, 2014


This year I really wanted to celebrate my beautiful Mom’s and have them over for brunch. All the time, they are hosting beautiful dinners at their home and it’s always so effortless and beautiful. For Mother’s Day I wanted to invite them over and have them do NOTHING and just enjoy the day. I worked hard […]

Soccer Playoffs

by Kristi on May 11, 2014


We’ve had a good season with Yorba Linda/Placentia AYSO. I was disappointed in the beginning because the teams have been shrinking recently so this season they combined U7 and U8. I felt like we went a little backwards but after the first few games, the girls clicked as a team and they have been performing […]

Facebook Detox

by Kristi on May 10, 2014


It’s been two days since I removed Facebook from my phone.  I know. I KNOW. Me. The completely addicted social media girl who is on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, WhatsAp, OkHello, Michael’s Coupons… Okay, one of those doesn’t fit but I did just use it. Last Thursday a few people were sharing Momastery’s post about […]

Olaf

by Kristi on May 9, 2014


My Realtor has been my Realtor for 15 years and she is incredibly smart. So is her daughter, we are about the same age. (I completely forget how old she is!) She is rad though. They are both amazing. After we closed on our house one year ago they said we should come over and […]

TGIF

by Kristi on April 4, 2014


I’ve been sick most of the week. Really weird thing with my throat swelling up and no sinus issues. (Much, anyway) Except I’ve been snoring at night. So all Wednesday night the husband kept nudging me, and waking me up, and telling me to stop snoring. So annoying. I’m SICK. I mean, if he was […]

Are you like me who ruins every craft she starts? I may make a few crafts but it’s usually the 3rd or 4th time when I perfect them. If there is a wrong turn, a fold, regular glue instead of hot… those are the mistakes I will always make right off the bat. I am […]

Sale: Get Lucky with PlanetBox

by Kristi on March 11, 2014


My FAVORITE eco-friendly lunch box place is having a sale! I have to tell you… I have waited for their Rover boxes to be on sale for over a year and I NEVER… EVER… see them on sale. They will put Launch on sale maybe once or twice a year but never the Rover system. […]
