Preventing Family Weight Gain This Winter!
Ah winter. The fresh air, chilled, crisp wind, occasional snow. All you want to do is cuddle up with your family in front of the fireplace with a big blanket with bowls of buttered popcorn and a fun series flowing one after the other on Netflix. In this weather it is so easy to get caught up with eating and consuming tons of warm food and beverages – like hot chocolate! It’s so easy for the whole family to put on weight during the winter because, well, it’s not that great stepping out into the chilly weather. Big hearty stews, extra large pizzas, macaroni-and-cheese. That’s what winter is about right?…

My Sunday Update!
We are still in standby mode for the fires here in the San Diego County. Our fire is named the Lilac fire. My house is right on the Bobier line. SOoooooooo do we stay or do we go? Should I stay or should I go… oh great NOW that song is going through my head!! I was certain we were in the clear Saturday morning. Nothing but blue skies….. now? Back to smelling smoke and white skies everywhere. It’s still 90 degrees outside and REALLY dry. So the car is still packed and we are glued to the tv. Mostly I want a nap. I hope you are having a…

Build-A-Bot Bunny Is HERE!
I absolutely love toys that encourage creativity and mix in learning as well as direction following. Build-A-Bot does just that. Like most parents and grandparents our favorite toys to buy are the challenging ones. Something super easy and most kids, including Alice lose interest. Build-a-Bot buddies are so cute! Not only cute, but your kids build it!! Build it and watch it come to life! From Bee Bots to Bunny Bots. It’s a home run! The Build-a-Bot box has a note on the bottom that says: 5 to 7 may need help. 8 to 10 can assemble the robot on their own. We found that to be very true. 6-year-old…

I’m Sorry I Just Can’t Today
Cold. Yes. Cough. Yes. Achy. Yes. Absolutely MISERABLE!! Add Fires?? NO!! I am sorry. I just can’t. I thought I would shoot a quick post out. The fires are ridiculously close to the house. So, I am packing up precious mementos and clean underwear. This is a shot from my front porch a few minutes ago. I have to admit that I am just a tad (A LOT) freaked out right now!! Now, for those with the same twisted sense of humor that I have……. moving to Idaho may have just gotten a whole lot lighter!! Talk about not having to sort!

NOW! I remember why it sucks to hang out with a sick kid!!
I thought when she got well last week I was in the clear! I was wrong. Instead the germ train, headache truck, and achy bus slammed right into me. I swear a couple of them even backed up and hit me again just to be certain I was down for the count. Now the KID is sick AGAIN too! Uncle already!! And another tissue too please. I’ll be back tomorrow.

Check Your Grinch Attitude At The Door!
Hiiii again friends! A couple of weeks ago I introduced myself and said that I would be here every week sharing about my crunchy granola lifestyle….and then December hit and whoa! I’m still trying to find out where I hid my elf on a shelf from last year (read: shoved it in a suitcase in some closet where we wouldn’t look for it for another year) because my kids keep asking when he is going to come back. December hits and I sometimes can’t see up from down, left from right. Am I right? Thankfully I have found a way to support my immune system, sleep better (when I do…
