One of my fave parts of the holidays is holiday shopping baking. Mo and B love to help create and eat all kinds of goodies. This year, we saw some pics of Santa Strawberries online and decided to give it a try. Only 3 ingredients needed: Strawberries Whipped Cream Mini Chocolate Chips Procedure: […]
He Loves Me!
Remember growing up how the 1st person to fall asleep at the slumber party was taunted? I think I had a flashback the other night. We were watching a movie, and Mo fell asleep on the couch. My first thought was, “Oh great…now I have to throw out my back trying to carry his big […]
FREE Apple/Mac Workshop For Kids
Summer is here! Our summer is filled with lazy days, cooking projects, cookouts by the pool, and summer camp. I like to add 1 or 2 fun educational activities too just for a little balance. I found a super cool workshop the Apple stores are offering. Apple products aren’t cheap, so when they offer something […]
Money Mo is 8!
It’s been 8 wonderful years since I spent 23 fun filled hours in labor. Good times. It’s funny he still has the same personality now as he has as an infant and toddler. He’s always been intense, emotional, sensitive, and crazy. Yes, he is a Gemini. Another factor that has remained constant, is his hair. […]
Mother’s Day 2012
I have so much fun with my boys. Fun for me is pretty simple, hanging with my kids with minimal arguing & whining. So, for Mother’s Day, I just like to relax. It all started with breakfast in bed. With a little help from Auntie Mona, the boys made all my favorites: bacon, egg & […]
Teen Sells Kidney For iPhone And iPad
On Mo’s last day of Soccer Camp, the kids were all crowded around him. I wasn’t sure what was going on. Then, I heard one kid say, “write down your cell phone number, Twitter, Facebook, Draw Something, and email.” Huh????? Mo is 7!!! On MY last day of camp, we were exchanging our home addresses […]
Cesar Chavez Day
Getting Mo to school is like my daily mommy boot camp. It’s almost mandatory to go into General Nora role to complete all the morning tasks. Get up early, make breakfast, pack his lunch, wake Mo, wake B, get B ready, get myself ready, get out the door. FAST. Brave 40 minutes of LA traffic […]
14 Year Old To Graduate From UCLA
I love underdog success stories. Move over Jeremy Lin…here comes Moshe. Moshe Kai Cavalin doesn’t like being called a genius. At the age of 8 he enrolled in college. He earned his first of two Associate of Arts degrees from East Los Angeles Community College at age 9, graduating with a perfect 4.0 grade point […]
7 Year Old Girl Escapes Walmart Kidnap Attempt
Mo and I watch prison shows together. We talk about child molesters, kidnappers, and criminals. Some people think I shouldn’t do that. “Bad guys” are real. He needs to know this. Unfortunately, everyone in the world does not have a kind heart or good intentions. Recently, Seven-year-old Brittany Baxter was grabbed by a scumbag asshole man […]
Celebrity Look Alike
Why do people always wanna find a celebrity look alike for everyone? People always tell me I look like someone in the Hollyweird world. However no comparisons that flattered me enough that I care to repeat. For some reason, strangers always feel the need to approach me and Mo and tell us who they think […]
