The Great Experiment

My daughter is a science experiment in motion and I mean that in a good way. She is always so interesting to watch as she explores the world for the first time. Lately, Baby Girl has taken to shaking her butt to music. It's quite funny to watch that little touch shake back and forth. Or to watch her bob her head up and down to the rhythm. Not only is she more musically inclined but she has taken to communicating her wants to better. I think underneath all that baby talk is one smart little cookie. I have revisited my signing skills and its been really fun to communicate with her. I ask her with my hands and fingers if she wants water or if she is all done with her meal. Yesterday, her teacher was so proud of her because she signed for milk for the very first time. So this morning, teacher taught me the sign for milk. Baby Girl can be fussy but I read an article this week on toddler fussiness and half the time they are just trying to communicate with you and there really isn't any other way for them to communicate so they do whatever they feel like from throwing toys to crying. They just don't know any better. I've started talking to her more and telling her what I am doing. She hates getting a diaper change and she hates changing clothes but I have been narrating my actions and that seems to work wonders with the crying. This having kids thing is hard but its these moments that make it all worth it. It's those moments when they smile at you or snuggle up in your lap or those caresses with their tiny little fingers that makes your heart melt. I am so grateful for my daughter, she has truly brought something to my life that I never expected. She makes the other compartments of my heart (the section for hubby and for Moses) all complete.

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

Vaccine Part 1

As a little girl I would look on my mom’s arm and wonder why she had such a weird mark near her shoulder. A few days ago, as the warm solution penetrated my bloodstream, I started to cry remembering my mom’s mark. The nurse asked me if I was okay and I told her I was so incredibly happy. As a diabetic I was stressed never knowing if I was doing enough to avoid it but also, keeping some semblance of life in doing outdoor things. I cried because I am incredibly grateful to the SCIENCE that made this possible in only a year. Less time for me to worry about my only kiddo should the worse happen.  If ur on the fence...I’ve worked in entertainment for over 20 years and I’ve seen first hand how easy celebrities influence the public.  Some do good and others well...I’m happy to have a little bit of the gracious Dolly Parton with me.  Scientists on the other hand, very rarely get the recognition for their years of study, years of research and expertise contributing to (wo)mankind....

7th Birthday

Mark ur calendars, Dec 12 is an awesome day to go to Disneyland! There was no one at the park yesterday morning. We had 3 amazing hours 8am to 11am to ride! Some Disneyland records we set yesterday:  ✅A After many years, we finally got a wristband (and bought) a giant Disneyland candy cane.  ✅F First people on pirates of the carribean.  ✅ Line for Indiana Jones was 10 minutes long  😳  This never happens and we sat next to the people (strangers) who sat next to us on pirates b ut we did not walk over to the ride with them. ✅ By a fluke, we were also the first people on Big Thunder Mountain and kiddo rode in the cart by herself! (They opened late and we were in the right spot) ✅Kiddo  rode front seat on Matterhorn because a kind guy, his first visit, said he was too tall to sit in front and she wouldn’t be able to see sitting behind him ✅ Prode space mountain for the first time and huffed that it wasn’t scary and it was no IncrediCoaster. And the line...
