Nothing can prepare you. You can’t train for it. People don’t tell you what it will be like. They’ve blocked it out like the pain of childbirth. Maybe the sleep deprivation and exhaustion got to them last year. The end of school year party circuit is a little like Burning Man, without the booze and…
The Best Madmen Dresses from Season 5
It’s my first Sunday night in a while without a MadMen episode to look forward to and that makes it a bit of a dark day. Last week I had the (dream come true!) chance to attend the live screening of the season finale with many of the cast and crew members. A special bonus…
En route to Carsland Get Your Kicks on Rte 66
True fans of the movie Cars are undoubtedly headed to The Disneyland Resort this summer to check out the brand new (opening today!) Carsland section of the California Adventure park. If it’s a road trip out west, and you’re rolling down Rte 66, why not get the Cars party started a little sooner? Consider a…
Should Teens & Tweens Get Waxed Before Camp?
Getting ready for camp is hard work. Tracking down sleeping bags and laundry bags, bugspray and sunscreen. So much to prepare! According to the New York Times there is a new trend as well… Tweens and teens are booking waxing appointments and getting their hair straightened. I wrote a post about what I thought about…
See ya Letters! California Adventure Park Letters on the Move
When the giant “California” letters disappeared from the plaza outside CA Adventure I was so sad. My daughter, on the other hand was sort of happy. Because her name starts with an “M”. For the last decade or so since CA Adventure opened, we’ve been snapping photos of M and her siblings in and on…
Finals Suck! TGIFriday Cats Special Edition
We’re in the home stretch now…. Almost done with the school year. But we’re all still hitting the books. Even Hello Kitty, who likes to complain about how useless Algebra is in “real life”
Would You Let Your Daughter Get a Nose Job?
Last week Babble Voices Vlogger Ali Wentworth discussed her decisions to pursue plastic surgery to correct her under eye “bags”. I love the way she talked about kids calling it like it is. My son is the first to tell me that “Grown ups have big bellies!” while poking my pudge. Apropos as he’s the…
Win It! Brookstone iPhone Pocket Projector for Father’s Day
I think I’ve found a near perfect gift for the tech loving Dads in your life. Brookstone’s iPhone 4 Pocket Projector. It sounds a little like “pocket protecter” which makes my mind go nerd on me. But in this case, it’s cool nerd. Cool AV dept guy who hooks you up… We love to host…
Sand Dollar Whoopie “It’s Summer!” Pies for Teacher’s Gifts
I really racked my brains coming up with this one. I wanted to make a memorable, edible treat to pass out to my children’s teachers. My kids have about 30 (ish) teachers between the four of them and when you multiply that by Starbucks Giftcards, you can see why we may never be able to…
Word! MouthMan Hoodies are a Hit Here.
Some things are too clever, too cool to simply explain. You gotta show, not tell. I tried to explain these fab Mouthman hoodies to my son who looked at me quizzically. Then he put it on, and stood in front of the mirror, elbow of elbow and GOT IT. These shirts make you kid’s arms…
