Counting the days…

End of the school year- and I am thrilled. JUST THRILLED. Since I am a SWAT (or SAHM if you prefer), summer is really the season I get to shine. I plan all kinds of field trips for the three of us: Griffith Observatory, MOCA, and the beach. I plan play dates and squirt gun [...]

Introducing the Burka Fashionline 1969!

You can leave the house ladies and not have to do your hair or a full face of make up! Having a fat day? No problem..the comfort of the swing silhouette gives you the freedom to carry a few extra pounds and no one is the wiser! Of course people might think you are pregnant [...]

How NOT to get the principal to like you…

Well in the on going saga of the Private School uniform and hair dress code…Jack was asked to cut his hair AGAIN today. And there are 7 school days left for the year. I decided to inform them that Jack would not attend the last 7 days of classes. I was then told this would [...]

You really don’t want to mess with us k? We ARE the PTA . We don’t need your vote either. Trust me plenty of new parents think they can push us out- and we know that some people call us the “evil-three”….but we don’t care. We control the fundraisers, ice-cream sales and the annual auction. [...]

Stop calling me names people!!!

A note to the news people and clearly childless journalists of the world: I do not like the term “Stay At Home Mom” (SAHM). Even though I do not get paid for my ‘work’- I am rarely at home. I am volunteering at the kids school, planning school parties, assisting on field trips, taking kids [...]

That’s okay- this ad came with instructions for the make-up impaired. And is it me or does this lady look like the next door nieghbor lady (Amanda Bearse) on [...]

Heavenly Hostess

Aprons…not just for grandma anymore! So while strolling the streets of my ‘happy place’ (Orange Circle)…I discovered a newer store “Heavenly Hostess”. Their motto “The Most Glamorous Aprons in the World”….naturally I had to take a look!

Bragging…I walked!

Today I walked for the first time with a friend. I have always walked alone with the ipod…and never knew how much quicker the time flies by when you go with a friend! She is training for some walk-a-thon, breast cancer walk thingy (A commitment I could never make for fear of failure)….so she started [...]

The Dreaded Haircut…

Before the dreaded haircut: The kid was not to thrilled with me-can you see him try to smile? BUT this was not my idea…it was the private school….I gotta admit he looks kinda scruffy here…okay so he looks like he needs a trim at least… During the dreaded haircut: Can you tell I took him [...]

Consider this a public service announcement folks….I am a giver..and well, I care about your thighs. As most everyone knows- I am perpetually ‘on a diet’…okay ‘I watch what I eat’…whatever….and a few months ago Micky D’s came out with a whole line of ‘fancy coffees to compete with the Starbucks of the world….I am [...]
