1. Alright, ladies. It seems from the tweets and emails and comments I’ve received, many of you will be rocking these pants soon. Since they were on final sale, I said a little prayer that they look smashing on all of you. (They will! I know they will!) I think I have some more of [...]
How was your Labor Day weekend? We had a great time swimming, hanging at the park, and eating loads of food. The best part of our extended weekend, however, was when Wita took her first steps! Yay, Whoorlita! Besides her actual first steps, I have to say my favorite part of this video is D [...]
We had such fun at Wito’s 5th birthday party on Saturday! The weather was a little gloomy while setting up, but in true California fashion, the sun came out in full force right as the party started. We had some Oh Happy Day-inspired bunting action going on, and I must say, it was adorable. (Here’s [...]
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Happy 5th birthday, Wito. You’re my guy. (First thing that came out of his mouth this morning. “I’m five now! Look, my pajamas have gotten smaller! I need new ones.”)
Blogging about blogging is truly not my forte, so although I’m a 3-year veteran of BlogHer (2007, 2008, 2009, holla!), I won’t attempt dispensing much advice in regards to attending this week’s conference. (If you want to read a fantastic post on what to expect, though, please read Kristen’s recent one.) However, for all you [...]
I’m sure you all are on the edge of your seats wondering if Wito liked Cars 2. Well, we’ve seen it twice now…first in 3D at the advanced screening: Then again in Oklahoma City with my family. (Taking photos in dark movie theaters is stupid.) (Unrelated, but have you noticed how blogs are perfect for [...]
While strolling through Downtown Disney last week after tackling Space Mountain, Wito noticed a huge Cars 2 banner hanging from the local theater. As the world’s biggest Cars 2 fan, the child was beside himself. Disneyland Excitement Level: 2. Random Cars 2 Banner Excitement Level: 150. (I’ll never get it.) He just stood there, transfixed, [...]
With summer rapidly approaching and our annual passes about to enter the dreaded blackout period, I decided yesterday was the perfect day for Wito and I to spend some mother/son time at Disneyland. We did our usual half-day route – Autopia, train, popcorn, Toontown, corndog, Autopia – but decided to step our ol’ routine up [...]
Wito is captivated by Cars. Sure, most kids go through phases of adoring certain toys or movies, but this Cars phase has now lasted over two years. 700+ days, not that I’m counting or anything. Cars consumes this boy, and as you can guess, we have amassed an enormous amount of little diecast cars from [...]
With my beautiful, caring, generous mother in 1975. Up until yesterday, I had absolutely no idea Mother’s Day was this weekend. How did it creep up so quickly this year? Maybe this was keeping me preoccupied earlier in the week… Tummy trouble for poor Wito. Very early on Wednesday morning, after a brutal couple of [...]
I lost that loving feeling for blogs about a year or so ago. Man, I’ve been PINING for the good ol’ days (pre-Twitter/Facebook/13 email accounts/Instagram/Google Reader/Pinterest/iPhone apps/etc.), but let’s face it, the good ol’ days are gone. Nearly six years ago, when I wanted to write about something, I wrote it on this blog. When [...]
Who’s ready for a little boot camp update? Hello? Yes, you in the back! This one’s for you! Alright, I am proud to say that I officially have 4 months of boot camp under my belt, and have lost…drumroll please…over 21 inches. 21 INCHES OF FLABBY FLAB, 10 of which have been since my original [...]

Check out my dream holiday outfit (and 9 other beauty and style bloggers’ picks) over at iVillage! 2. We started a new turkey day family tradition this year, the Thanksgiving Day Feather [...]
(Although about hair, I wanted to post this here because it was such a fun day for me. I will also post it on Hair Thursday later this week.) A few weekends ago, I attended the Tangled premiere in Los Angeles as a guest of Pantene. If that wasn’t enough (I’m a huge Disney movie [...]
