Get Kids Involved in Organizing and Cleaning, the earlier the better

Seems like the theme of the month is organizing.  This subject keeps popping up. People must have put off spring cleaning and now, realizing it's already summer, are looking around their cluttered homes wondering how in the world they accumulated so much crap and what the heck to do with it all?!! I know I am! Maybe it's just me? If you're a … [Read more...]



Naps are Definitely still needed!

Not that I thought otherwise, but now I know for sure, naps are definitely still needed! My precious baby girl didn't get one yesterday and by 4pm, she was perfectly happy. Yep, you heard right, a smiling little angel, as long as she got her way! But God forbid anything not go exactly the way she wanted! She was completely falling apart over every … [Read more...]



Forcing my kids to have fun

Why do I have to drag my son, kicking and screaming to do something incredibly fun?! He loves his Karate class! He started last year and we tried out a bunch of other martial art studios, but he fell in love with this one (I highly recommend Rod Sanford Martial Arts in Soquel! http://sanfordkarate.com/ ) and only wanted to go there. So we've been … [Read more...]



Appreciating the Great Things in Life

Now that I've caught you up on those oh so important current events (see previous posts today) I have been reflecting on what an amazing thing it was that I was able to throw a great party this weekend for my baby girl. Warning, get ready for sappiness! I had to stop and just really appreciate life today. I have such an awesome one! I am so in … [Read more...]



Can’t live without Hummus

Here's the hummus recipe that was a big hit! And cheaper than the store bought hummus I always buy (though I love Trader Joes hummus, especially the edemame flavor). My son will not eat vegetables, chicken strips, or fish sticks without his precious hummus, so I had wanted to make some for a while, however, every recipe calls for tahini. Being an … [Read more...]



Blueberry Cake is Heaven!

I later made cupcakes! Yum! This is where I found the fabulous blueberry cake recipe for my daughter's birthday! It was so good, I was actually disappointed there was none left over! I may have to make another one. I doubled the recipe and used a 13"x9" cake pan. Ok, actually I used a casserole dish because I'm not cool enough to have every … [Read more...]



Highest and Lowest in Two Days

Oh Happy day!  The birthday party for my 2 year old girl was a success!  I found out Costco closes early on Saturday (what's up with that?!) and had to jam across town and brave the Sunday morning lines, making it back a little late for the party... I mean we planned on a grand entrance, right? Family came from out of town, friends … [Read more...]



Happy Birthday Little Trouble Maker

This little angel is at this very moment climbing up on a stool, reaching into the cupboard, and getting the box of fruit snacks down all by herself...... (me stepping away for a moment)..... and now she is screaming and stomping her feet because I put them away (she already had some). I gave her some crackers, but apparently that was unacceptable! … [Read more...]



Evil little monster named Self Doubt

I had made a decision! I was sticking with it, no turning back. But in one afternoon self doubt came crashing down and I was suddenly filled with anxiety and back to square one! I don't like having things up in the air, if I have an important decision to make I will research obsessively, ask questions of anyone and everyone until I'm sure they try … [Read more...]



Summer Art Camp

I'll be teaching art camp this summer at Kruz Kidz Summer Day Camps at Twin Lakes Church in Aptos, Ca. I'm now official! We finally updated the web site with my name on it! http://www.kruzkidz.com/camps/creativearts/ woohoo! Classes are filling up fast, so sign up quick! I've been losing sleep thinking of all the fun things we will do! There are … [Read more...]
