Daddy wants her to finally have a pair of Converse high tops, but I’m not so sure because of the flexible sides. Yes, I’m one of those Moms. The ones always worried about safety. And [...]

If you live in Pennsylvania, you will appreciate this video. For those that don’t live there, I must explain that, according to Amanda, and with the exception of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is much better suited sandwiched between Alabama and Mississippi than New York, New Jersey and Ohio. Apparently it’s totally redneck up there. Who knew a [...]

Ahh yes, Summer is in full swing here in SoCal. 100+ degree days that last through November. Lovely, no? Whoever put that myth out there that SoCal is always sunny and 75* was smoking crack. I still do not understand why so many people think that moving here is magical. It’s not. It’s one of [...]
Hello there Inmates! How have you been? I know, I have been neglecting my bloggy. I’m sorry. I have been busy making other people’s blogs look pretty.

The Diva is, shall we say, a bit eccentric. What? But she’s only five, how can she be eccentric?!?! If you lived with her, you’d know what I am talking about. She has always been different. She is extremely intelligent, very creative and has a boundless imagination. Her imaginary friend is a boy. His name [...]

The Diva graduated from preschool at the end of last month. She starts Kindergarten on August 11th. Summer is only 6 weeks long this year. At this point, I am kind of happy about that because I am having trouble getting her to understand that just because Mommy gets up from the computer, doesn’t mean [...]
