Ramblings

I was reading in Family Fun magazine about an easy way to color eggs for small children. Just pop an egg into a wire whisk, so it’s nice and protected, and let the kids stick the whisk into the cup for easy egg coloring.  I thought that was ingenious, especially for toddlers! Who has good […]

I have a lot of friends who just don’t ‘get’ the Twitter thing. “Isn’t Facebook the same?” “I don’t understand Twitter.” I love both. I keep Facebook for my more immediate friends and sharing kiddo pictures and video while Twitter is more of my daily news addiction from far and wide.  Facebook is slowly becoming […]

A few weeks ago I ran my first 8k in Brea and it was amazing! These races are so empowering with so many people next to you running the same race, helpers every few blocks cheering you on, even a band was playing half way through! Jenn was my running partner and I couldn’t have […]

I have somehow been talked into running (walking? limping?) the Brea 8k this Sunday!! About 5 miles, I think?  They have all these yummah restaurants sponsoring the run and will have tons of food at the end. Will that be a sufficient carrot stick to get me to the end? Luckily my walking partner is […]

I’ve been trying to walk more and some of my friends actually… jog. I know, who does that, right? But this morning Griffin got up at god’awful o’clock and Sam shortly later and since there is only so much TV they can watch without me feeling lime a horrible Mother, I tossed them in the […]

Ahhh, the wonderful New Year’s post! I’ve read so many of them today already.  It really doesn’t feel quite like a new year yet, maybe it will on Monday when we get into the normal routine of things.  We had a wonderful Christmas break though. I read tons of books on my new Kindle (love […]

My Mom and her sisters, sister-in-law, and friends have always had fun martini nights.  The younger ‘children’ have always been sad to watch them go because we wanted to join them!! Well, we are now all old enough to do so.  Well, except for Dana. 🙂  Sadly, a few of the girl cousins were not […]

Last weekend we had a fabulous time as I threw a surprise birthday party for hubby! I did a pretty good job on the surprise (I am SUPER terrible at surprises…) up until the last 10 minutes where I did some uncharacteristic things. Then, when we tried to spring it on him, I should have really just […]

I think I’ve stared at my sneaky peeky about 250x already. I keep going over and over the photos, I love them so! Go take a peek! They are in Facebook right here. While you are at it, go ‘Become a Fan’ of the DrewB Photography page and the new Mom*Tog page!  I convinced Drew […]

Today was a most fabulous day.  It was pretty busy but filled with so many fun things, I wanted to talk about them because I didn’t want to forget. 🙂 We started the morning with G sleeping in until his ‘normal’ time of about 645! The past week he’s been getting up around 6am so […]

“I am the cookie monster!” I shouted to the sky. ** On Friday we had our Fall Festival at Sam’s new school. It was AWESOME.  The thought put into this event was amazing. They had the coolest crafts, super interactive games, and crazy water play for the older kids.  So cool!  But I was ready […]

“You know what I think?” I turn around and raise my eyebrows and smile tightly at the woman. Yes, you know my bitchy look. I gave it to her. She stares at me and repeats herself a little louder. “You know what I think?” “What’s that?” As I bare my teeth at her in the […]
