August 2019 $50 Your Way Giveaway!! #giveaway #paypal #GC
I am still road tripping around California but I wouldn’t dare forget to post my monthly giveaway! So, my monthly update will be rather short. I am thoroughly enjoying my time with my kids and of course, Alice. Yes, in between, I am still complaining about traffic. I am sorry for everyone in Southern California that drives the i5, 15, 215……. wait, let me reword that; I am sorry for anyone that has to DRIVE in southern California! I’m enjoying pool time a lot! I am really going to miss swimming everyday. Sarah, now I understand why you hate missing swim class. Ahhhhhh it’s so wonderful being in the pool. Speaking of which; Alice the mermaid is ready to hit the pool again. TaTa for now!! The GIVEAWAY!! I truly am thankful you stop by!

A Movie Star in The Making! Thanks to Brooke Byler Acting School!
My little movie star in the making!! Alice went to a week-long acting camp at the Brooke Byler Acting School. She has working actors taking her acting courses! For instance Alice’s BFF Olive! Who stars in the series I’m Sorry (BTW I put a clip below so you can see Olive. AND a big congratulations for getting a season 3 nod!) Yup. I hang out with movie stars when I am on California! Brook Byler’s Acting School is super fun. That is per Alice and Olive. Kids learn so much, like memorizing lines, helping with production. Kids learn everything (okay, maybe not EVERYTHING) that goes into making a movie. At the end of the week families arrive for the PREMIER of the movie. Red carpet, balloons and all! So cute!!! Families even go home with a copy of their movie. The movie is only 9 minutes and includes all the end credits. Without further ado here is Nailed It. Written and Directed by Brook Byler. Alice is in a yellow t-shirt her character is the bossy one. (ummmmm can you say PERFECT casting?!?!) And as promised this is the trailer for I’m Sorry (now filming it’s 3rd season!) If you…
Should You Give Your Child A Cell Phone?
It’s difficult to imagine life without cell phones, but when you were a kid, that’s almost certainly the case. Now it seems as though kids are getting their first cell phone at an even younger age, and it’s something that’s usually top of the wish-list. Deciding when to give your child a cell phone is a difficult choice, and each child is different. To help you and your child prepare for getting their first cell phone, take a look at the following and work out if it’s the best decision for you. Are they old enough? Children mature at different ages. While one eight year old might be very responsible for their age, another might not be. This makes putting an age on getting a cell phone difficult. An age to age guide to kids and cell phones could help you to decide. Phones aren’t recommended for very young children, so if you can hold off until they at least reach double figures, the better. Do they need it? Some kids might actually need a cell phone. If they have to travel far to school or have a lot of extracurricular activity, then having a phone means you can stay in…
HOLY MOLY PEOPLE!
Just a quick check in. Yes, still in sunny California along with 987 BILLION other people. I do not know where all these people have come from!! HOLY MOLY!! I feel like all I’ve done is park on the freeway. I know I always complained about California traffic when I was here but after you move away and get use to a sloooooooooooooow pace it’s rather over whelming. I forgot about go 70mph then come to a dead stop kind of driving. What kind of drivers are in the UK? Do you find it hard to get to work?? Do you sit on a freeway too?? For hours? Do UK’ers get to work from home? Because if I was still living in California that’s the only way I could work. I am gonna need some major unwinding when I get home! And quiet. I need me some quiet! I’m have an AWESOME time!!! Alice has grown like a weed! Still the funniest kid I know. I’ve visited with my favorite Miss Barbara for 3 hour breakfast….. a three hour tour with the Skipper an….. never-mind…… shiny!! Got my hair done. Spent time in the pool. Went to a baseball game,…
