Wink

Germs have been attacking our home. They are not welcome here, but they came in anyway. We have done our best to fight them off, and we may be winning the battle, but for now, we live in a den of germs. So, I have nothing witty to say, no fun stories to tell, unless… Read More Wink

Mermaids

Homegrown

This post is for my sweet niece, Yo Gabba Gabba!  She and her Mama planted a garden and Gabba Gabba was kind enough to give me some of their produce.  She gifted me with the first ripe tomato and one zucchini.  She asked that I take pictures of what we did with our gifts.

Trifle

For the 4th of July I made a fantastic trifle to take to our block party. My picture isn’t that great, but I think you get the idea of just how divine the cake really is.  I have to say that it was probably the most complicated cake I have ever made in my life,… Read More Trifle

LACMA

This weekend we spent an afternoon at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.  The kids joined their NexGen program, which is a free membership for kids 17 and younger.  The best part is that each child can bring in one adult for free.  The best part for the girls was getting to play inside… Read More LACMA

Art Class

The last few days BigZabba and her cousin took an art class.  The teacher was just wonderful.  They learned several painting and blending techniques.  I was very impressed with what they were able to accomplish.
