If I’ve been absent from the blog lately, it has less to do with being busy around the house and more with the fact that Todd taught me how to use the XBox. We have Netflix now and can watch TV and movies on demand through the XBox, and I’m going to have to [...]

In other news, tomorrow is my nephew’s birthday, so we went to Chuck E. Cheese this evening to celebrate. (Charles E. Queso is what my sister calls it in front of her kids, so they don’t know what she’s talking about.) Cara and AJ had a great time running amok, and Todd wanted [...]
The Big Blue Bus

I’ve had a few “Why do I bother?” days in the last few days, starting with Sunday. Still, there was an adventure to be had before everything went downhill. I suppose the downhill was an adventure, too.
Saturday and Sunday was the LA Times Festival of Books at UCLA. I really wanted to [...]
Bento Fun

I have been having a blast making Cara’s snacks for preschool. I haven’t been as creative as the lunch above yet, but I’m working on it! (I’ve seen this photo on Flickr and Photobucket and have no idea who it actually belongs to for credit, so if someone knows, please let me know!) [...]
Happy New Year!

Of course, in our house, that also means anniversary time. Four years ago last night, I married the biggest goober on Earth!
And then we proceeded to have two of the gooberiest children on Earth. Sweet little monkeys.
We spent the evening eating fondue and drinking champagne with our good friends Lisa & Austin and [...]
A Lazy Christmas

I’m almost embarassed to admit that I’ve only stepped outside of our apartment once today, and at 9:00 pm I’m still in my pajamas. From yesterday.
But I’m not really embarassed. I had a great time getting up early with the girls and watching them open all of their presents. [...]
Sledding, SoCal Style

This morning we celebrated Christmas with the Berries and Grandpa Bean. After a delightful morning spent eating awesome Christmas Tree-shaped eggs and watching our Elf Yourself repeatedly, we decided to do some SoCal sledding. (Well, you can sled on snow in SoCal also, but for our purposes, we went to good [...]
Who?

I’m not sure why Todd thinks this post is going to be interesting for the five people who read my blog, four of whom are female, but he was absolutely insistent that I post this picture. Maybe because HE is my lone male reader and wants to relive the experience over and over. [...]
Weekend Update #1-Halloween Time

Halloween is my favorite holiday, but we’re having a bit of an unconventional Halloween weekend this year. You see, my dear friend Lisa/Auntie Boss and my other [sort of] dear friend Austin/Uncle Scary got married last night. Yes, Halloween night. You wouldn’t think it was strange if you knew them.
I didn’t want [...]
Happy Birthday, Katy!

Amid much “Camp Rock” fanfare, my niece Katy turned 6 over the weekend. Her mom and nana whipped up a great party for her and all of her first grade friends, as well as her little cousins.
My sister, Lisa, made the groovy cake all by herself. (Do the little ones even know what [...]
