Do I look overly excited?

Well, I was…After all I have been watching and loving the careers of Joey Lawrence and Melissa Joan Hart for a LONG time. And when I had the opportunity to sit in on a very intimate press conference with the two of them, I was thrilled.

So what are they like? Exactly like you would expect- nice, funny and approachable.

And I would personally like to thank Joey for wearing the lowest cut v-neck he could find. I don’t know where that string necklace ends, but I offered to go find out. Ahem.

Here is a very unedited video from part of the conference. It opens with Joey talking about what happened the first time he rode Space Mountain…it involves pee. Pretty funny story.

And if you love these two as much as me, be sure to check out their show (they are the executive producers and will be directing as well) Melissa & Joey on ABC Family.

Family Field Trip: Angelo and Vinci’s

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 [...]

  When the boys saw the checkers table in the gelato shop Jack yelled ‘Look mom we will be like old Italian Men!". And they were, eating their sweet treat while playing a good game of checkers. Later Tucker found a record store and had a great time looking thru the bins while Dean Martin [...]

Family Field Trip: Bowers Museum

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 [...]

Family Field Trip: Oak Glen, CA
