I went to a scrapbook event yesterday at Cordevalle with some friends. We met new some new scrapbookers through Meet Up and they were all very nice ladies. The staff at Cordevalle were very sweet and accommodating! The food was amazing and we would return to scrapbook there again in a heartbeat!! The hostess Arianna was super nice and even gave us a cute goodie bag/bucket filled with Easter

This past Friday/Saturday we celebrated Elizabeth's birthday at Santana Row and had a beautiful outdoor shopping, dining, people watching experience! Marleen, Dina, Cara, myself and of course E had dinner at the Left Bank can you say delish? Our waitress was sweet and apparently suffered a concussion a week earlier and was still a lil cloudy in the head. We teased her about remembering our food

Seriously I so suck at this whole blog thing! I mean it's been a week since my last post! I guess it's because I have been busy with life. Lauren (goalie in pics) had a soccer tournament 4.5 hours away this past weekend. Her team lost the first game by 1 (we had an own goal) and tied the second game 0-0. We were very close to scoring several times! Here are some pics of the weekend.I also

I was hoping for a lazy Sunday but my daughter has two projects due this week. We took a trip to Michaels, a hobby store, Target, and Safeway. We still didn't find everything she needed but I think she will get by. We use lots of my scrapping supplies for her projects so I justify some purchases thinking I will use them for future school projects, ha!Yesterday my girlfriends came over and we

After picking up Lauren from school today I took her to the local cupcake shop Penny Cakes. We then decided to head into the Claddagh an Irish restaurant located next door to the cupcake shop. We had a child size fish 'n chips, I enjoyed a beer and Lauren had a coke. I'm a sucker for bread pudding and the restaurant had it on their menu. It took everything in me not to order a piece. I did

I decided to start posting on my blog again, it's a good way to look back and reflect. So here it goes...My first born turned 21 this past Monday! I just can't believe how fast those 21 years have flown by! She was always a happy baby and still is a happy person. Don't get me wrong she has her moments but for the most part is a hard working 21 year old girl! We had a little party for her on

Found this at Sparkpeople.com and thought it was an intereting read:1. Exercising early in the morning "jump starts" your metabolism, keeping it elevated for hours, sometimes for up to 24 hours! As a result, you’ll be burning more calories all day long—just because you exercised in the morning. 2. Exercising in the morning energizes you for the day—not to mention that gratifying feeling of

We were trying to get a family Christmas picture while on our Thanksgiving trip to Pismo Beach. Needless to say our youngest daughter was not cooperating, I think she was tired and she was being a little bug. Lauren's eyes were either closed or she was really squinting, had her arm in front of her face, or she was getting the "look" from her dad. The other day my husband asked why I didn't post

We finally got our Christmas tree and she is sitting in the living room patiently waiting to be accessorized!! We didn't cut it down this year as it seems that we are always so busy. We did end up with a pretty 8 foot tree.

Okay, call me lazy, it's been exactly 30 days since my last post and so much has happened. Soccer games/tournaments, Christmas shopping, homework, two school projects, cleaning, organizing, and our Thanksgiving trip to Pismo. I'm sure I'm missing some events from the past 30 days but it just goes to show us how fast time passes by. I read Jasmine Star's photography blog and she wrote something

I have been a very BAD BLOGGER this I know. I seem to be busy lately but I don't feel like I get much done. I've been feeling like I'm coming down with a cold or something but it never really just hits me. Don't get me wrong I don't want to get sick but enough already. My daughter was sick last week and my husband was sick yesterday and still not feeling 100% today. I feel like I'm just waiting

You see this last Saturday I get a call on my cell phone I don't get up fast enough to answer. Then my home phone starts ringing and I just have this feeling that I better answer this call.

Not much going on here this last weekend which was fine by me! WHAT no soccer...we almost didn't know what to do with ourselves!! On Saturday I was going to attend a 40th b-day party (70's dress optional) but I was just not into going. I was exhausted from the week and just not in the mood (sorry Kerri).

I am so exhausted but in a good way, here's the run down:Saturday~ Our daughter had a soccer game at 9:00 am. Our team won 1-0 and let's just say that the other team was brutal. I mean one of the girls on the other team basically elbowed one of our girls on purpose in the back of the head. NOT COOL!!!! Of course she threw the elbow after the play was made and the referee was not looking. We

We participated in the Wine Country Classic Soccer Tournament this weekend and what an awesome soccer experience we had. We won 1st Place!!!! Our girls did a wonderful job and were very dedicated and skilled to say the least. They pushed themselves when I know they wanted to stop, we had a total of four games in two days. The weather was nice but a little warm in the later afternoon games. We

So it's that time of year again! It's back to waking up at 6:30 making breakfast, making lunch, reminding the kiddos to grab their books, homework, signed notices etc. I think I'm ready for them to start up again. Lauren is going into 7th grade and Christina is heading to college...wow how time flies!Now that they are back in school I really need to focus on organizing the house, filing some

My husband had his wisdom tooth pulled yesterday and I decided to make some chicken soup for us. This is so easy to make because I use one of those ready baked chickens and just add fresh veggies and some chicken stock.

This pic is of my daughter and her two cousins hanging out at grandma and grandpa's. I love this photo because it shows children being children. Notice my nieces wet spot on her dress and her dirty finger nails, my daughter with her messy hair and the piece of gum hanging out of her mouth. Let's not forget my nephew with no shirt on, totally a summer thing to do. I love it when kids are carefree.

I lost a total of 5 lbs. well more like 4.7 lbs. since a little before I started SparkPeople. My pants aren't as tight and my muffins aren't nearly as big. My lower back has been bothering me for a little over a week so no exercise or I think I would have done better. I have portion control to thank for losing some poundage. I need to add my exercise and drink a little more water. I really want

I have been trying to eat more fruit. I guess the best way to do it is by having the fruit right out in the open where you can't help but see it. I have been eating way better but I still need to work on the amount of water I drink, I need to drink more!!On another note my dd and I went to Target for some house stuff and found this great album (for her) on clearance for $1.98.

I was reading Chris Jenkins blog and was inspired to get fit (the pic of Jessica Biel helped) I won't look like that but hey I can come close. Lately I have not been taking good care of myself. I haven't been exercising, drinking enough water or eating right. When I do take care of myself I feel great and look pretty good.

I love these folded note cards Folded Note Cards ohh, and these Bucket of Notepads are too cute. These Wine Note Card & Gift Tags would make be cute when paired with a bottle of wine and given as a gift. These are my fav's though.

It's been a month since my last post. I had so much going on during the month of December it was crazy. We hosted a birthday brunch for my mother-in-law in our home the first week of December. I also put together the annual girlfriend ornament exchange this year, thankfully that was at a restaurant so not too much work.We also had a scare when my sis-in-law went into labor on December 18th and

Wow, it's been a while since my last post...so busy, it's a good kind of busy though. My family and I celebrated Thanksgiving by spending a week in Hawaii. It was a fun trip and the weather was very nice; 82-87 degrees everyday. My husband and I also did some work in the condo we own along with our friend. We will have our first renters in a couple of weeks and we are trying to add the

I have been wanting to live a healthier lifestyle (more on the BPS class below). You know lose a few pounds, eat healthier, exercise, sleep more, don't sweat the small stuff, you get the picture. Well the other day someone from SBA (Scrapbook Addict) mentioned that she uses Sparkpeople to help her on her with her fitness/nutrition goals. I have signed up and let me tell you what a difference it

While we were there I remember thinking that it felt like just yesterday we were looking at pre-schools. My how time flies!!! Here's a picture of her after she got her make-up done for senior pictures. I love those freckles!!!!

First off it's Blog Action Day see logo off to the right and click. I do my best to recycle and do my part. I'm not perfect but I'm better. I recycle everything I can. My daughter has even made some $$ by taking the bottles, cans, and plastics to the recycling center. I think she will have made close to $50.00 once we go and turn in our recycling this week. We use canvas bags and will be

I have made a mess, remember my last post about being so tired?? Well I didn't finish my friends 40th b-day album gift. It was okay cause we got her a really nice group gift. I was sooo tired and just couldn't bring myself to focus and finish her album. I was barely able to do things around the house that needed to be done. Well, my doctor thinks I might have mono (my daughter has been diagnosed)

Now that fall is approaching Starbucks has my favorite drink .....Pumpkin Spice Latte. Gotta love it when you're in line the and the Starbucks employee knows what you want before you ask. Okay, on occasion I switch it up a bit and order the Chai Tea Latte but for the most part they get it right when the say "Pumpkin Spice Latte?" Oh yeah, gotta love it!

Are you like me the minute the season starts to change you decorate accordingly? I love the long the hot days of summer but autumn is nice too. I love the fall colors and the smell of chimney smoke in the air in the cooler months. Officially the change will come on Sept. 23rd this year, please correct me if I'm wrong. Here are a couple of pics to show you what I mean about changing my decor etc.

Tell me what girl doesn't like to shop especially for new scrapbook goodies? My friend and I went to Youngplay Memories in Tracy, Ca. It was our first time there and the young ladies working were very nice and had a lot of patience with us (we kept on adding things to our purchases) lucky for us there was no one behind us in line. Although, we wouldn't keep adding if there was a line behind us.

Today my younger daughter, husband and I went downtown and had lunch. We ate at a fabulous Mexican restaurant and had some yummy food and an excellent margarita!!! A couple of doors down from the restaurant there's this really cute store called Magpie and they have neatest stuff. Here is my latest purchase from the store.Here are some layouts to get you in the Halloween spirit.

My husband and I celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary this last weekend in Napa. We ate at an excellent restaurant, went wine tasting, relaxed by the pool, went shopping, and got a massage (not me though I didn't feel to good). Here's a pic of one of my purchases, I love me some shoes!What do shoes and kabobs have in common? Nothing silly I just love me so kabobs too and we made some so I took

Here are some pic's of the birthday party (sleepover) and scrap night at my home. I didn't get many good ones as I was cooking, cleaning and well just trying to be a good host. We had some great appetizers, drinks, a chocolate fountain, and cake. Some of us took a dip in the spa, while others scrapped and some even stayed until the next day and scrapped until 9:30 p.m. Geesh, we had stayed up

When we were in the process of moving we knew we wanted a pool. Our old neighborhood had a community pool and my two daughters loved it. Youngest daughter learned how to swim and both daughters were on the swim team. We all made friends and had parties and b-b-q's all the time. The last two years we lived there I was the pool manager and we also planted trees and bulbs in the front to beautify

I especially like it when my daughter gets excited over it too. We went to a soccer game last Saturday, USA v Japan. We really enjoyed watching the game and I think my daughter picked up a few tricks!!! She's on a competitive team and really likes the sport. She has been playing since she was in pre-school and now she's a big 6th grader.I also played soccer from the time I was 7 until I was 16.
