We went on vacation to Lake Tahoe this past week. We went with my parents, and brother and stayed at a cabin that my family has been renting for several years. Well, needless to say we will not be returning anytime soon. We had fun on the beach, playing mini golf, etc. but let’s just say...

It’s that time of year again. I can practically SMELL the pencils being sharpened and hear the moaning as I mention that this week is the last week of summer. Sadly, it’s the last week for us both (my classes start Monday, man-cub’s start Wednesday).
We always like to...

I just got back from an amazingly fun and relaxing and active vacation in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Ever heard of it? Me neither, until the lady at the timeshare company told me about it. It's mainly a big ski season town, but in the summer, all the ski runs turn into...

We recently returned from our annual Lake Tahoe trip. It seems that every year (and the more kids we add into the mix) the trip gets more and more exhausting. I guess the days of staying up all night, drinking beer at the casinos (and loosing all of our money at the same time) are...

Whenever I think to myself, “WOW! This is really a transitional period in life right now”, something will come up to show me that it was really nothing. That was just life… THIS is a transition.
This Tuesday will be my husband’s last day at his current job. He...

Today is a lovely day. There are many reasons for this.
Firstly, today was my last, blessed, day of summer school. For the past six weeks, I have dragged my sorry butt out of bed and taught the same 30 kids for six hours each day. It has actually been very pleasant. The kids were mostly (there...

I've been a little MIA this week. Sorry about that. My grandparents are down from Oregon and my son and I have been spending the whole week at my aunt’s house with them. We've been putting in some quality shopping, cleaning and cooking. Today is our yearly family get-together and we're...

OK. So my brother-in-law graduated from the California College of the Arts in San Francisco Mother's Day weekend and the family all went down for the ceremony and after-party.
We work way too hard on a regular basis and live for short weekend getaways, so we decided to splure on a nice hotel and...

Every year my husband takes a trip out of state with his best friend to a gaming convention. Yes, they’re both big nerds. Not Poker, we’re talking live action roll playing games, tote all your special rare cards and little men in a case with you kind of games. (I can smell the...

With Mother's Day 2008 fast approaching, I thought it might be fun to share something I wrote after last Mother's Day. My kids were 4 and it was my best Mother's Day yet and started a new tradition. Read on...if you dare:

I personally had a GREAT Mother's Day. And I...

A few years back Las Vegas was attempting to re-vamp its image as a “sin city” destination to more of a Disneyland type vacation destination for families. Is that still the case? No, it’s not. Is Las Vegas a good place for families? The answer to that question is yes and no.

My spring break is coming to a close, but rather than feel badly about it, I will revel in all the personal things I accomplished.
On Monday, I took care of much-needed applications. Tuesday, we tried to go to the library, but it was closed. Instead my daughter and I dyed Easter Eggs. (Well, I...
