My little boy loves Wall-E. After we saw the movie in July he begged us every day to make him a Wall-E costume. Since we had lots of moving boxes we gave him an empty one to play with. That plain, brown box became Wall-E for quite some time. Then CJ asked for Wall-E hands and a “garbage [...]

What You Need To Know About Flat Irons
Posted in humor, life, tagged curly hair, flat iron, hair, humidity, humor, styling on September 24, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Recently I purchased my first flat iron. Unless you have been cursed/blessed with curly hair, you may not know that this is a hair torture device designed to ”iron flat” those unruly curls.
I have always had wavy hair, but ever since I moved to the Eastern USA my hair has become the bane-mane of my existence. The humidity is making my [...]
A Week Of Celebrations
Posted in Home, food, life, tagged birthday, cake, friends, neighbors, wedding anniversary on September 23, 2008 | 1 Comment »
This past week was full of celebrations for our family. We celebrated DA’s birthday by taking him out for Italian food, and eating cake with our wonderful new neighbors. It has been hard leaving our old friends and neighborhood and moving to a new area, but having new neighbors like M&M and T&J have made our transition [...]

Posted in bento, food, kids, tagged bento, kids, kindergarten, lunch on September 17, 2008 | 5 Comments »
I have really been enjoying making Bento lunches for CJ. It’s so fun to think up new things to give him every day. I have even been compiling a list of lunch ideas I hope to post soon. Thanks to all of the fellow “bento-ers” (is that a word?) who stopped by and left comments on my Kindergarten [...]
Mmmm…Pumpkin Spice Latte

Since moving to the eastern USA I have waited somewhat impatiently for the advent of Autumn. After all, coming from the West where Fall is a blip or glimmer at best, the cool weather and changing leaves are exciting events. But my dreams of Fall continue to be dashed - the high was 93 degrees today, and the [...]
My Little Transformer

Here is our boy CJ as Optimus Prime (or at least an Autobot) - can’t you see the likeness? CJ has been asking us for weeks to make him an Optimus Prime costume. His vision included cutting up dozens of boxes and creating a whole transformer outfit. DA, having already made a cardboard box WALL-E costume recently, didn’t really [...]

Today has been a very rainy day in our neck of the woods. It was overcast when I left home this morning, but I didn’t think it was going to rain right away. I had only gone a couple of miles down the road when it started pouring! I was somewhat unprepared when we got to CJ’s school. [...]
Kindergarten Bento Lunch

I am embarassed to admit this, but last year in preschool CJ took the same lunch almost every single day. He only stayed for lunch twice a week, but he almost always took a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, applesauce and a cheese stick. I’m not entirely to blame. I did try to give him [...]
1st Day of Kindergarten

My big boy CJ started Kindergarten last Wednesday. I can’t believe it! How did my baby grow up and become such a big boy? I never thought I’d cry on his first day, but I have to admit to feeling a little misty-eyed. He is ready to spread his wings and I want (just for just a [...]
