Happy Mother’s Day! What better to share on this treasured day than some adorable seal mom and pup pairs from my favorite spot in the world, Point Lobos State Park. This particular beach is not a seal hang-out for most of the year. However, when it comes time to birth babies, late winter/early spring, this tiny beach, completely surrounded by rock cliffs, becomes a true seal nursery. This is NOT a zoo. This is the real world, animal style. […]
» Read moreYou may be tempted to think, “How can you live in California and not be utterly happy all the time from these incredibly beautiful surroundings?” Good question. The unfortunate thing is that I don’t actually live on the beach and see these sights every single day. In fact, I pretty much forget they are there until company comes and we show them around. Most destinations are too hazardous to take on with two pre-schoolers, seeing as how I’d like to […]
» Read moreThis is beauty to me: my sweet ten-year-old in his new arm cast. I’m not saying that I’m happy my son broke his arm, but you have to admire his all-in-spirit. It reminds me of that quote from Finding Nemo: Dori tells Marlin, the helicopter dad, “Well, you don’t want nothing to EVER happen to him, because then nothing would EVER happen to him.” Never underestimate the power of beauty. Beauty! “Joy is a net of love by which you […]

Now, if you are trying to see Yosemite without spending any money, I have good news for you. You […]
» Read moreYou’ve probably heard about this craze called “Jamberry”. I kept seeing it in my Facebook feed. I have a couple of friends, both which live far, far away, that sell Jamberry. I’ve seen their promotions, sure, but I didn’t get it. What’s a Jamberry exactly? Is that a fruit? It is a real thing? Ok. It’s a nail product. Is this like Lee Press on Nails or something? What is it? I googled it: “what is a jamberry” Well, when […]
» Read moreLet’s talk about hair. I have this very thick, course red hair. When I say thick, I do mean there must be a billion little hair holes in my head. Hmm…maybe that explains more than a few things…. It isn’t really curly or straight. It’s wavy. I was SO excited when “wavy” came back in style a few years ago, but that never did really seem to mean what my hair is. Therefore, I have been flat-ironing my hair nice […]
