My boys love bananas. They are a pain in the azz to peel…until I learned how to peel them like a monkey. Monkeys eat bananas all the time in the wild. They don’t have the dexterity to open it from the stem. But actually, this is the incorrect way, which is why it is probably […]

Los Angeles School Shootings
There have been 2 school shootings in Los Angeles schools in the past 2 days. My heart goes out to all the parents and children affected by these tragic events. The most recent shooting in Woodland Hills caused 9 Los Angeles schools to go on lockdown while police searched for the suspect. Then it dawned […]
Why I Love Boys
I remember when I was high school and we had a class discussion about what we wanted in our future. There were numerous responses from, “I want to be a teacher”, “I want to marry someone rich”, to “I want to be a hunter” (I went to school in the South). My answer was easy. […]
A Lil Bit Of Love
My favorite part about being a mom is going to all the birthday parties and getting FREE CAKE!!! This little luxury makes being a mom have purpose and excitement. So, when I discovered a childhood friend started her own business making “cake pops” and other sweets, I was overjoyed. A Lil Bit of Love makes […]
Never Been To Disneyland
Ok, so I’ve lived in Los Angeles for 12 years and I’ve never been to Disneyland. Is that terrible? Personally, I don’t feel like I’m missing anything. My boys are 6 and 2 and don’t watch tv much, so they’re not familiar with Mickey and the gang. I really hate wasting time and money and […]

Bronson has a language that only a few of us understand. strawberry= straw shoo shoo water= wah wer train= john john peach= piatch I want to watch Yo Gabba Gabba= a yo $%#&^**$% However, my all time […]
Drybar
I hate washing my hair. I prolly wash my hair 3x/month. Yeah, I know…it’s gross, but come on….it’s long, thick, messy. It just takes too much time and energy. Besides, dirty hair styles better, right? So, like many moms, getting my hair did, is not high on my priority list. Mostly because I just don’t […]
Bento Box
A lot of kids are picky eaters. There are ways around this. 1. Sneak healthy food into childrens favorites. Check out Jessica Seinfeld’s book, Deceptively Delicious for amazing ideas. 2. Bribe them….okay, this is lazy old school method. “Eat 4 more carrots soaked in liver juice and you can have a Twinkie, honey.” 3. Try […]
