Preschool Backpack Decision

by Kristi on August 3, 2009 · 3 comments


I just put in an order for Sam’s preschool backpack! I’m so excited about it.  I gave her ten different choices and printed them out on a piece of paper.  I did not include the princess or Dora backpacks that we had seen at Target.  After she looked at all of them very closely, she […]

Save Linkages

by Kristi on June 12, 2009


My Mother-in-law works at Linkages which is an amazing non-profit company who helps the elderly in their homes with SO many different ways if they have no family or money to help themselves.  Anyway, as we all know the California budget is in a horrible place right now and they have proposed a cut of […]

Stating the Obvious

by Kristi on May 7, 2009


Wow, it’s May already.  (See? Duh!) That means the year is almost half over, which means the school year is starting (Sam will be going to preschool if I can #($*#*(&%)# get her potty trained already), and the start of the school year means it’s almost Christmas.  So I better start shopping, I guess? Yikes. […]

Hoppy Easter!

by Kristi on April 12, 2009 · 2 comments


My all time favorite Easter joke. It took me so long to ‘get’ the joke when I first saw it. I’m just dumb like that. Hee! Probably because it was the PC version that we went out to clients though. The funnier one is: Not that this one is so BAD or anything, it just […]

Quaking, Shaking and Walking

by Kristi on April 7, 2009


So, if you are living in Orange County you may have been ‘hearing’ or ‘feeling’ these fake earthquakes.  The windows shake, you hear rattling, but the earth is not moving.  Sonic boom, right? Yet, each time this has happened the Navy or Marines insist they are not flying planes that would cause this.  This is […]

Happy 1st Birthday Griffin!

I can’t believe he is ONE!  Above are a few pictures taken in the past few days. He is my sweet baby boy.  This year has just flown by.  I can’t get over it.  We had a very relaxing day. We went shopping a bit and Sam was out with Grandma JJ so we played […]

Weight Loss Update for February

by Kristi on March 5, 2009 · 3 comments


Well, this month was my first month with no loss.  The first two weeks I was doing pretty good and down 1.5 but the middle of the month hit and we went on our trip and then everyone got sick.  The last two weeks of the month I was literally looking for sweets multiple times […]

24 Hour Vacation to See Shamu

by Kristi on February 19, 2009 · 1 comment


My Favorite Picture EVER We took a very short vacation and went down to San Diego on Tuesday night.  We stayed at one of the best hotels ever, Pacific Terrace.  It reminded me of a beautiful Hawaiian hotel with open air hallways and friendly service.  Matt, the desk clerk, was fabulous with recommendations and free […]

More Children? No Thanks, but…

by Kristi on February 13, 2009 · 32 comments


I wrote a few weeks ago about being done with having children even though several friends are currently on #3 right now. I’m watching them with horror and slight amusement wondering how the HECK are they going to survive? Well, I’m sure they will all do fantastic but that doesn’t mean its for me. So […]

Sharing Yogurt

by Kristi on February 8, 2009 · 1 comment


You can always find Griffin trailing behind his sister.  If she is standing by the coffee table, he is crawling over to stand next to her. When she runs across the room, he is slowing following her.  When she is sitting at the table eating a snack, he is standing next to her chair begging […]
