We are starting to pack for our next trip to NorCal but Paul and I had a fantastic little getaway a couple weeks ago to Napa. Since it was our 6th wedding anniversary and because we haven’t had a night alone since Stevie came along, I pretty much insisted that we go somewhere. I think…
I just got home from a trip to Northern California and I haven’t blogged about this one yet! Plus we have another trip to San Fran in about 3 weeks. We’ll see how soon I get around to that one. Anyway, this is wrapping up the stay-cation I’ve been going on & on & on…
The Ventura County Fair is one that always makes me sentimental. I remember going often as a kid because my Grandma Ina sold her honey there. She was about the cutest little bee-keeper you ever did see. I don’t really remember riding the carnival rides or anything, but I do remember the atmosphere. And I…
Whenever I drive to Southern Utah, I have to take into account the LA —-> Vegas traffic. (Or vice versa.) Oh, it is the worst. What normally takes 6 hours can take 9. If at all possible, I avoid driving there on a Friday and driving home on a Sunday. It WILL take forever. Unfortunately,…

It started and ended in St. George with a little Salt Lake City in between. There were good times. There were times when the kids were tired and grumpy and I thought they were trying to ruin my vacation. But mostly, there were good times. It was fun to spend some time with my sister…
I went on a cruise with my girlfriends. It freakin’ rocked on so many levels.
It was lovely. Enjoyed everything about it. It went by too fast. We have one more Christmas party, New Years and BAM, the holidays are done. 🙁
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,…
This Thanksgiving was so much fun, I honestly forgot to take time and reflect on all I was thankful for. Lame! But I guess I can say I’m really thankful for these good times! They help pull me through what I have called a “rough year”. Of course, every year has its own challenges, but…
