Watching Whales

January 20, 2012

The Aquarium of the Pacific here in Long Beach invited MomsLA (and other press) to go on a whale watching cruise last week.  No way was I passing up this awesome opportunity.  I bundled up in my sweater and leather coat, borrowed a scarf and gloves from my friend and off I went. Unfortunately I [...]

Keep on Cruisin’

January 19, 2012

An Italian cruise ship from the Costa Cruise Line ran into a shelf of coral last week and started taking on water.  It listed to one side and “sank” (it didn’t actually “sink” since when it hit the coral the captain steered the ship toward shallower ground so it would be easier to evacuate). The [...]

I Like To…..

October 21, 2011

Caitlyn has sentences to write every week for her spelling words.  She is in 1st grade and her words are still fairly generic, last week’s words are dig, dog, cat, doll, nest and bell.  I have been picking her up from school on “sentence” day for the past few weeks and I am finding her [...]

Disneyland Adventures

August 29, 2011

When I turned 40 I bought myself a Wii.  The intention was for it to me a motivator for exercise and family interaction.  Then we lost the living room (don’t ask) and I didn’t play for a very long time. Recently with the return of the living room (I already told you not to ask) [...]

Link to My Heart

June 30, 2011

It was February of 2000.  We walked up and down the aisles of the local pound looking for just the right dog.  They were all so cute.  Adam was 9, Marisa was 13.  “How can we choose?”  “I love them all already” were said over and over by both of them. Then we saw her.  [...]

Moo Cow

January 28, 2011

Do you remember this toy? It had absolutely no use other than to annoy your parents and older siblings. Guess what?!  It’s baaaaaaaaaaaack! But this time as an app.  Now you can annoy everyone in the room incessantly (at least until your battery dies). I was asked to review this app (and received the free [...]

Spooning

November 9, 2010

I have a friend (shut it) and she has been through some shit this past year.  Horrible medical shit that makes my measly financial difficulties look like a ride at Disneyland. Anywhoo, a lot of you know this friend and I don’t really want to “name” her because I am almost certain she does a [...]
