Let me first start off by saying my mom and dad ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! More on my dad later but my mom surprised me yesterday by kidnapping Alizea for what was supposed to be a couple hours which turned into an overnight vacation for both child and parents! It was oddly quiet last night but oh so… Continue Reading
Today, we challenged ourselves. Genevieve was the leader of the pack. She got her work-out gear on (ok, I helped a little), and headed to the ‘gym’ to work off some of her forearm chub by smacking her dangling rattles one arm at a time (a ‘first’ which was so neat to see). I have… Continue Reading
Well, as both my sissies pointed out to me, (which, by the way, makes me feel good and special that you anticipate and enjoy the updates) I have been lagging on this blog writing…I like to call it blogger’s block. And it doesn’t help that our “schedule” (loosely used) has been way off the last… Continue Reading
Just like a SUPER Kmart or SUPER Target has a good reason for the special title, this was a SUPER Girls outing due to the three generation factor and of course having the matriarch of the family present! What a perrrrrfect way to end Ita’s last day as a bachelorette enjoying a spa pedicure….Ahhh, to… Continue Reading
Today was supposed to be a nice, relaxing ‘catch up’ day – after a quick trip away from home, I was in much need of some time to unload, unpack, wash, quality time with A after 2 days with Mimi, maybe a trio nap, etc. Well, after being up almost all night with an uncomfortable… Continue Reading

Latte’s in hand, ocean on our left, driving up the coast to Malibu…No, Dean and I were not on a romantic getaway (as wonderful as that sounds), we had tots right behind us, one of them practicing her “Yay, Auntie Karyn!!!!” congratulatory exclamation … over ….and ….over…and over! Yesterday we went to Pepperdine University to… Continue Reading
The hair says it all! It is NO coincidence that this girl’s hair matches her personality: beautiful, bouncy, animated, lively, fun, golden, unique, and sometimes, a little wild! You actually weren’t wild or hyper tonight or at all today for that matter. You were very obedient, cooperative and quite polite all day and in the… Continue Reading
Well, I did it. It’s official. I can now technically change my title from Boeing Business Analyst to President & CEO of Soto Enterprises, er SAHM (stay-at-home-mom) Doesn’t the former sound so much more glamorous? Anyway, I digress. Today I placed the call I’ve been dreading ever since Dean and I decided we would do… Continue Reading
Just a quick post to document the “joys” of being a ‘housewife’ (so that when I’m much older & wiser, I can get a good laugh). So I finally got tired of my feet getting stuck in some mysterious ‘gunk’ walking around the house and spent a good part of nap-time today deep cleaning the… Continue Reading
