Our weekend included a fun family night out compliments of Rain Forest Cafe and the famous South Coast Plaza, almost being caught for shoplifting as our dear Alizea innocently ran out of the Disney store with 4 little figurines saying “I take these home”, a birthday party at the park, which mommy showed up to… Continue Reading
Ready? Set? GO! I think the most challenging thing right now in my motherhood journey is balancing the tendency to want to be in control of my day, my environment, my level of productivity (or how I have been conditioned to measure productivity) with the fact that my 2 1/2 yr-old child wants to simply… Continue Reading
Well it’s back to reality. The house projects, chores, errands & injured hubby (courtesy of the Boeing Bball league, we’re not as young as we used to be honey) welcome me with open arms but before the rat race begins, I want to reflect on some memorable moments of our stay with Ita… Snuggling with Alizea on… Continue Reading

Well, this is definitely baby book worthy. So yesterday was a pretty mellow day, getting stuff done around the house and physically recouping from an emotionally exciting yet exhausting day prior. I felt like I could sleep for hours and hours and well, someone else did too! Little G went down for what I thought… Continue Reading
Thanks to the fact that A loves bath-time so much, staying in for 45 minutes is not an usual occurrence, & there are lots of unplanned learning opportunities! The ABC ‘s were sung several times. My favorite part, H – I – J – K – ‘a-n-i-m-a-l’ – P ….ha! along with emphatically informing me… Continue Reading
