Happy New Year 2015!

This year hubby and I were lucky to have two weeks off from work together. We were able to spend some time together, time with his family, and go on a mini-vacation to San Francisco. We returned from our Christmas adventure last evening just in time for the New Year to ring in. As I move forward into a new year, there are a few goals I would like to shoot for. 1. Waste less food - I found myself throwing a lot away last year and its my goal to waste less. 2. Eat better - So I got off track of taking care of my diabetes. My goal for the new year to to get back to being focused and eating less sugar. I was eating too many sweets which is so not good for me. But sometimes a girl just doesn't want to count carbs. 3. Exercise by doing something fun - I walk Moses in th morning but I think I need to do more. I often find that my knees and legs ache. I was doing a little bit of Yoga with Penny and I liked it a lot. 4. Make more dinners - Use all those recipes I've pinned on Pinterest. Make dinners ahead of time. 5. Back up all photos. My computer crashed and I lost a ton of photos. Now I need to get organized again and keep track of my photos and properly back them up. 6. Continue to get rid of the unnecessary and purge what I don't use - Simply said. I have too much stuff. I am a memorabilia person. I save too many things. Time to purge as no one is gonna want all that old crap. 7. Fix up Bonus Room and get a new front door - house projects a plenty.

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 ...

Surfing Goat Diary

We left the store and headed to the Surfing Goat Diary, again, this was a second trip for us but what was different this time is that we scheduled an hour long tour. Last time we arrive right before closing and were rushed. We spent a fair amount of time there exploring before the tour. We tried their cheesecake, we met the cats and dogs that roamed the place, we played in the playground, we pet and fed the baby goats that were penned up, and pursued the little store. Penny was eager to get her hands on the chocolate goat milk truffles. I must admit they did look good. I had my eyes on a t-shirt and a mug. Our tour started at 3:30pm that day and we met all the goats and learned all about the farm. But the most exciting part of the tour was getting the opportunity to milk the goats. Penny was quite a good milker. A friend later reminded me that Penny was breastfed (wink, wink). By the time the tour ended we were extremely hot. Maui was hot but also humid. We were ready to...

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...
