8:00am: Wake up and play with the tyke for a bit after Daddy feeds him breakfast. 9:30am: Decide that since it’s going to be such a lovely day, that we simply must make a trip to Disneyland. 10:00 am: Start getting ready. Pack some food in the stroller, get my fanny pack ready, and give…

Fake Snow Day
The Armenian Relief Society (which my husband’s mother was active in for many, many years) held a fundraiser carnival today. We heard there was going to be snow, so I thought we should check it out. At least we could get a couple cute pictures. It was probably more trouble than it was worth, but we…
Drama
Can this day be over now? To make me feel better, here are some pics from Disneyland! Ah, doesn’t that feel better?
Welcome to SoCal. I'll Be Your Tour Guide.
We had quite the eventful week over here. Not that things have slowed down since they left, but my cousin and his fiancee from Finland spent about 9 days with us. They visited last winter, about 3 days before I had the baby. I was huge and boring, but they still had so much fun,…
Lombardi Family Farms
We discovered this place last year through the recommendation of a friend who works near the farm. It is so awesome! They have a huge pumpkin patch, a wagon ride, train ride, petting zoo, face painting, scarecrow alley, corn maze, snow cones, etc. Everything that you love about fall all wrapped into one. Except for…
ADELE (Take 2)
All I can say is “Holy Crap.” My new girl crush for sure. I saw her back in 2009, and of course she was great. But this time, she was even more polished and just plain ol’ fabulous. She canceled her show back in June, so when I saw that she was rescheduled for the…
Cali-Bound
My brother and his wife FINALLY came to visit! They live all the way over in Southern Missouri (close to Joplin) and took quite a road-trip for their vacation. They stopped in New Mexico and Arizona before reaching us and will be stopping in Utah and Nebraska on their way home. I had so much…
We CAN Be Spontaneous!
Friday afternoon, I get a text from my husband: Him: Wanna see U2 tomorrow night in Anaheim? Me: Um, yeah!?? What time, how, why? Turns out an old co-worker of his was selling his nose-bleed seats, and we were more than happy to take them off his hands! Thank goodness I have a sister-in-law who…
Star Tours 2.0
Does anyone else remember how AWESOME Star Tours was when it first opened? I remember as a kid riding it over and over and over again. I came off the ride with big excited eyes and just couldn’t wait to do it again! As the years went on, that excitement diminished quickly. It got to…
Finns, False Labor, & Christmas Spirit
What a week we have had here in little ol’ Burbank. My cousin and his girlfriend from Finland came to visit for about 10 days, so I did my best getting them to see all Southern California has to offer – which mostly meant that I dropped them off places and let them sightsee, while…
