Ramblings


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 […]

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!

Why Should You Use Swag Bucks?

by Kristi on February 16, 2011 · 6 comments


I’m very addicted to Swag Bucks lately. About six months ago I kept seeing a friend in Facebook posting these SwagBuck updates and then she kept saying she was getting Amazon gift certificates! How do I get in on that!? So, I finally asked her about it and she told me the scoop. I signed […]

What Did YOU Do?

by Kristi on January 30, 2011


What a glorious weekend! First off, I ate waaaay too much chocolate. Always a good thing. I also worked out, which is important when eating all that chocolate. We went to the Brea Improv which was fantastic. We saw Steve Rannazzsi. We also went early and had dinner there which meant we got seated up […]

by Kristi on January 17, 2011 · 3 comments


I’ve known Paige since we were in 3rd grade. I came into the school year late as I was transferring and, I really don’t remember who I met first.. If it was Maggie, Paige, Stacey, or Krysta but we all became fast friends. We moved into middle school and while Maggie moved away to Northern California (what […]

Heather Churney is looking for Mom’s Groups in the Orange County, California area to speak at regarding your preschoolers. I know there are a lot of MOPS and MOMS groups out there and Heather would be a great […]
