I had the wonderful opportunity this past weekend to run away to Zepher Cover in Lake Tahoe for a women’s spiritual retreat. Let me tell you what a luscious, luxurious gift time is to a frazzled mom. No computers, no TV, no kids, no cooking, no “to-do” lists for two days. It was...

Something I struggle with (and I’m guessing I’m not alone here) is the quick change hat act that us mothers have to do on a sometimes minute to minute basis. Your kids need you! Get the mom hat on. Partner needs you… where’s the devoted wife (or partner) hat?...

I miss Disneyland. There, I said it. I miss our week-long all-out vacations (that, we’ve had like three times… but still, a girl can dream.) It’s been about four years since we were there and it’s my favorite place to go in the world. I feel like such a brat for even...

This past Saturday was man-cubs family graduation party. He’ll be moving onto high school next year and we both needed a little transition celebration for surviving the hell that is known as “Junior High School.” My aunt, uncle, cousin, her fiancé, mother and father-in...

Right? Isn’t it summer now? Then why did I start my morning with running to the grocery store, Longs, bank… I thought summer was about sleeping in, hanging out with your friends, playing on the computer, going to the movies… What’s that you say? Only if you’re a...

It felt like a long time coming, but I finally had my spring vacation last week. While I was not super excited to get back to work today, I did feel more relaxed and less snappish. (Truth be told, it is motivating to know I have three minimum days next week because of STAR testing.)
Last week...

Well, not all year. But I have waited since August to give myself this particular Christmas gift--TIME. That was my gift to myself this holiday vacation, and it's been wonderful.
As a teacher, I get two weeks off right around Christmas. I am very grateful for this time, as I know many people...

Stella and Ripley are not the names of my children (thank goodness right? that'd be a little movie obsessive.)
No, they are my cats.
Stella, who's about 8 years old, is a beautiful Russian Blue mixed with Siamese. She is beautiful, but psychotic. Absolutely. She will cuddle with you one...

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...

Okay so where to begin? This is my first blog so bear with me. My aunt decided to have a yard sale this weekend, and I was the only brave one to help her out with it. The first day of it was on friday.I cannot believe the junk people buy! Used kitchen appliances that are about 50 yrs old?...

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...
