Hell has frozen over. Plan accordingly

So I was on the cover of a magazine the other day.

Did I forget to mention that? And I was also featured on the inside too.

You can read the article here

There is this tagline area just under my name that made me giggle.

I don’t know if I have ever been described more succinctly. The best part about this interview, or any interview is seeing how others perceive you. And if others perceive me as a ‘super mom’ then that is okay. But frankly- I think any mom who is raising humans she made and hasn’t gone insane yet is a super mom. This gig is not for wimps people.

Special thank you to my friend Dawn (who was also featured in this OC Family article) for sending me this picture of her little Peanut reading about the life of a supermom and probably wondering who thought it would be a good idea to put the old lady on the cover.

Me too Peanut. Me too.

Family Field Trip: Angelo and Vinci’s

IMG_0983-1

There is a restaurant in Downtown Fullerton (Sorry out-of-CA readers,more OC talk) called Angelo’s and Vinci’s. I have been coming to this place since I was a kid, and I still adore it. It is a feast for the eyes. The entire interior is a cornucopia (and I rarely don’t use that word often) of [...]

Family Field Trip: Bowers Museum

IMG_2432 copy

My kids love art… So we took a visit to Bowers Museum in Santa Ana today. And saw a bunch of old stuff. Of course I could have done without the exhibit on death and burial rituals with graphic videos playing every time I turned a corner. “No mommy doesn’t know why they are dancing [...]
