Facebook Portal has only been in my home for a couple of weeks and it’s already making a big difference. It’s always hard deciding where to spend Thanksgiving, but this year was harder than most. My daughter is England. My elderly parents are in California, and travel is not really an option. My husband’s family…

The preschool slide wars and paste bullies. You name it, from toddler to teen to the CEO of Casa de Chaos (that’d be me), we’d…
The Secret World of Arrietty – We Can’t Wait
When my girls were little we watched Castle in the Sky and Kiki’s Delivery Service. Again and again. We watched Ponyo with my 7 year old and 3 year old son. Now the whole family can’t wait to watch The Secret World of Arrietty. Even me. I remember reading The Borrowers Series of books as…
Take Me Everywhere Handbag by Belen Echandia
I’m a fickle handbag carrier with a lot of loyalty. What does that mean? It means I have a large collection of fun fashion bags, and a small collection of two or three “go to” brands that make bags I can carry for longer than a week. As much as I love a cute fashion…
