Ramblings


Hi August! When did you get here? So fast too, huh? Jeez. Well, Sam is going into first grade (she tells me – I keep asking her to repeat Kindergarten, she is growing too fast!) and GG is going to be in P4 of preschool. Again, how did that happen? *sob* Every day they shock […]

We always go to Chick fil a on Tuesday’s. Well, we usually go. They have craft night there and the kids like to play. I’ve always liked Chick fil a because they were so friendly to kids. When G was a baby, I would struggle in and they would carry my tray to the table, […]

Wild Animal Park in Orlando – April 2012

by Kristi on May 31, 2012


Friday was our trip to the Wild Animal Park which was AMAZING.  I was excited to see the animals but I thought it would be a little lame. I’m not a fan of our San Diego Animal park (too hot, too brown, too much walking) but I LOVED this park! It helps when the weather […]

Hollywood Studios Orlando – April 2012

by Kristi on May 31, 2012


Thursday was Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Yes, just about the same thing as California Adventure here in Anaheim! Still, Griffin has not been on Star Tours yet so we decided to skip the whole Disney World thing and do Hollywood Studios. We booked it over to Star Tours and got distracted by the sign that said […]

Our Pool Day in Orlando – April 2012

by Kristi on May 30, 2012


Wednesday was the deeeeee-lightful day of doing nothing! Kids woke up around 7:30am and I got them quietly dressed while everyone slept and we went right outside to the playground and then the pool. The rest of the crew woke up around 9 and straggled out. We had lunch at the pool. Kids made friends […]

Islands of Adventure Time! April 2012

by Kristi on May 30, 2012 · 1 comment


The next morning was Islands of Adventure! Seriously my favorite park ever, waiting in line is an experience. They got so many little details right on all of their worlds. We made sure to leave the house at 7am (4am PST time – ouch!) and arrived at the gates at 750 to wait for the park […]

Sea World Orlando – April 2012

by Kristi on May 29, 2012


This post is LATE. I wrote most of it the week after we got home (early April!) and then promised myself that I would add photos and… it just never happened! So I’m sitting here on Memorial Day weekend sizing and uploading them. 🙂 I’ll probably break this up post up in a few installments. […]

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 […]
