Have you ever moved with 3 boys, 3 and under? Do you have a husband who travels often for work and once “gave up” on packing from an apartment and thinks that leaving everything other than his clothes, some small keepsakes/mementos, xbox, and television is a normal thing to do? You do?! We need […]
Hello Friends! It’s been a while. Actually, nearly a year. I’ve had lots of run-ins with you in the real world and I keep hearing, “I haven’t seen you post anything lately….” Why the sabbatical? Life got complicated. Fast. Where do I begin…? It all started with surgery. No, not the cosmetic kind. More along […]
Many cities throughout Orange County are hosting some kind of Earth Day celebration this Sunday, April 22nd. You can see a complete list at this website (which I also included in my OC Moms Guide to April events post). Here are highlights of just some of the fun and eco friendly activities happening around Orange County this weekend. […]
Breastfeeding, you guys. It’s such a hot topic and one that typically has pretty passionate people on both sides of it. There are many people that fall in the middle somewhere, those who could care less about how people decide to feed their babies…. And then, of course, you have what I lovingly refer to […]
When I opened the envelope from my husband on Christmas morning and realized it was a personalized itinerary for me – and only me – to take a solo staycation at the Hyatt in Huntington Beach over President’s Day weekend, I instantly burst into tears. Since our son was born almost 6 years ago, I […]
How all over the place is your thought process now that you are a mom? I mean I was always good at thinking. For better or worse, the thoughts were flowing. But it is like you become a mom and you have a new super power to plan, analyze, see the big picture, problem solve, […]
Somehow I have been the strongest link. I have escaped the flu and stomach bug that has wiped out people nationwide and my entire household. I have a toddler in preschool, a husband with an office job, a curious infant that puts everything in his mouth, and go to places where lots of people go. […]
With the recent rose gold Minnie Mouse ears craze, I’ve been seeing even more people than before wearing those adorable sequined headbands around the Disneyland Resort. After all, if you’ve managed to snag one of these elusive and super popular headbands for yourself, of course you’re going to want to show them off with pride! […]
Happy Belated Galentine’s Day ladies! Thanks to the brilliant geniuses of Parks N Rec, we now have this special (non-federal) holiday on Valentine’s Day-eve that offers a reason for us ladies to hang out and share in our friendships together. In our single, pre-parenthood days, this would’ve meant going out for drinks (or at the […]
Obsessed or consumed…I can’t decide which better describes my son and his love of garbage trucks. I know little boys (and girls) love trucks but I sometimes question if my 3 year old’s passion is a little too extreme. We’ve had multiple garbage truck themed parties and have made him a trash truck costume for […]
Recently, I was conversing with the mom of a toddler about the stress of shopping with her daughter. Mom emphasized that her energetic and curious toddler refuses to ride in a cart and “needs” to touch everything while walking through a store. Sounds like typical toddler “issues” we’ve all encountered, and that it was far […]
I’m sorry, not sorry guys. Seriously, this is my life right now. I’m sorry, not sorry that I completely forgot to dress my kid up for Red Ribbon week. I did get the flyer. And yes, I did read it. But that flyer most likely ended up in a pile on my kitchen countertop that […]
I never truly felt alone until I became a mother. The minute I brought my son home from the hospital I felt this overwhelming sense of loneliness. Having a child was the most isolating thing to ever happen to me. I decided to quit my job after giving birth to my son. I really did […]
This post is brought to you by our partners at Macaroni Grill. But as always, our opinions are our own!There really is no reason to say, busy mom. The word mom implies that one is busy. Am I right? Which is why anything that can give me more quality time with my family and less […]
