SOMETHING SMELLS FISHY

People say this is how it happens, but I never thought it would happen to me.  My life changed in the blink of an unblinking eye!  I went from being a loving mom to a suspect in a crime. More special than other days, last Friday held big meaning as I’d be reuniting with my…

WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – FLEETING MOMENT

Knott’s Berry Farm, on my daughter’s birthday, presents a whole new magical experience at night! They project lights across the floor and the kids decided the goal was to make it through Camp Snoopy without stepping on any lights on the ground.

WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE: CLOSE

The road I take home is right at the top edge of the LAX runway. Under planes’ final descent to the LAX runway, they get super close! The best part of living in the South Bay is the gorgeous weather greeting me to the weekend. The worst part is, everyone else is also jumpstarting their…

SWEETER THE SECOND TIME AROUND

Are things sweeter the second time around?  Here are two arguments with two sides and I’d love to hear your thoughts. MEN Girl meets boy. Girl loves boy. Boy breaks up with girl. Girl gets over boy. Boy comes crawling back to girl when they’re both home for the summer…  In my case, it didn’t…

SATISFYING MY HUNGER FOR A NEW SERIES

My inner tough-chick self hungered to see The Hunger Games to validate the feverish frenzy surrounding me. I loved the premise of kids sacrificing for another while making huge life-changing decisions towards their own futures. I got hung up on kids fighting to the death but went to see how this translated to screen. I…

12. HAVE A RAINBOW MEAL

Today being Cinco de Mayo, we threw a family fiesta! Trying to figure out a Mexican menu that both kids would eat challenged me. One kid eats quesadillas, the other hates melted cheese. One loves spicy food, the other gets easily burned. I settled on Chicken Fajitas. I immediately thought how colorful and beautiful it…

INFJ – WTF!

Let me introduce you to Meyers & Briggs.  You may recognize the implication of these letters – to identify one’s personality type – even if you don’t know their meaning. While researching the colors of my parachute, I tested to see if my instincts and the experts agree about what I do well.  This stemmed…

WEEKLY PHOTO CONTEST: TOGETHER

I’ve always wanted kitties that love to snuggle and hang out together! Don’t get me wrong, Blinky (16 years – the groomee) and Moonshine (2 years – the groomer) wrestle with fur flying at least once a day, but then the young’n helps the old’n. Of course, I can’t have this post without some cute…
