Thanksgiving Preparations
November 23rd, 2011 — life
Every year, the husband and I pack up and head on over to his brother’s place for Thanksgiving festivities. So once again I had to come up with foodstuffs that are not only Thanksgiving-y, but also something that travels well and doesn’t require any cooking once we arrive.
For the past couple years I’ve taken on [...]
Warning: Pinterest is Addictive
November 17th, 2011 — life
About a week ago I found out about Pinterest (and yes, I know that I’m so, so, SO very late to the game here). I find that I spend more “extra” time poking around an pinning things than I spend poking around on Facebook.
I’ve found recipes, art projects, cute clothes, gardening tips, beautiful pictures and [...]
It’s Officially Fall!!
October 4th, 2011 — LA fun, gratitude, life
And no, I don’t mean autumn.
We don’t have many, full on seasons here in LA. We’re pretty much either hot with cooler nights, or cooler with cold nights. And not all too much of anything else.
But what we do have is a rainy fall. And I love everything about that.
For someone reason, no one (but [...]

Seems they’re in the process of relaunching the hit television show, SUPERNANNY. This time they plan to go with a with a new American born & bred nanny.

I Hate Fleas!
April 21st, 2011 — life, life lessons, the boys, whatnots
They say that it only takes 10,000 hours before you are an “expert” at something…anything. Well, I’m beginning to think that I may be well on the road to becoming a flea expert. And not by choice!
For the past three months or so, we’ve been dealing with fleas. We really didn’t think it was all [...]
Kurvee: A Shopping Experience for the More Curvy Fashionistas
April 11th, 2011 — life
Now it should be known, this LA Blogger Gal likes to shop just as much as the next gal. But…as a plus-sized gal, we don’t always get to same shopping experience our not-so-curvy counterparts get.
For the first time, plus-size, curvy gals had a day of beauty and shopping that they could call their own…Kurvee.
Now [...]
Who Doesn’t Love a Good Bargain?
April 6th, 2011 — LA fun, check it out, life, shopping
I think one of my favorite things about living in Los Angeles has to be the access to all the various sample sales around town. And not just sample sales, but whole, full-on events devoted to shopping the samples.
We have Shecky’s (though I’ve yet to go), Sassy City Chicks (love them), Pretty City (really [...]
The Jury Duty that Didn’t
March 28th, 2011 — life, life lessons, travel
After a fun-filled weekend celebrating my husband’s birthday, I was more than ready to take part in my civil obligation and sit for jury duty. That was until I called in to register and see if I was scheduled to show up.
Turns out, out of all the repeated, highlighted and bolded information…phone numbers, juror ID [...]
Oh Noz…It’s Shiny Object Syndrome
March 24th, 2011 — biz, life, life lessons, whatnots, work
Did you know that there’s such a thing as Shiny Object Syndrome?
Have you ever had one of those days where you know you have work to do, you’re trying to get something done (oh, I don’t know, like a newsletter or a blog post…let’s just say), but you find your attention being pulled in 20 [...]
