I’ve been wanting to do some sort of photo gallery in our stairwell. Something to “cover up” the white walls…..they’re killin’ me! I don’t like white walls, but since we’re renting, there really isn’t much I can do….I guess I could get the OK to paint from the property management peeps, but since I also … [Read more…]
So, this morning I was up working on my $6 photo gallery (pics to come) and I hear Holden say, “I have to go pee pee!” Jay takes him to the little potty and all of a sudden I hear, “Good job, Holden! You pee pee’d in the potty!” Uh, we haven’t really been focusing … [Read more…]
January 8, 2005 San Diego, CA Our very first look at our baby girl, Elliott Elizabeth Aspiras. Of course, we had no idea that “it” was a girl, but this Saturday morning was oh so special. Really? FIVE years ago?
Well, I did it! I started running tonight to train for the Las Vegas Rock & Roll Half Marathon in early December! This girl is taking baby steps since I am NOT a runner and never have been. I figured with the big 4-0 staring at me from 9 months away, I’d better do something … [Read more…]
As the years fly by, I am noticing that I am happier when things are simple. Simplicity means different things to different people, but to me it means happiness.

I would be completely satisfied if the following snapshots were the ONLY big moments throughout the past 12 months, but our year was full of so much more happiness, new experiences and … [Read more…]
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints left a card on our door saying that they are collecting gently used shoes for Share Our Soles (shareoursoles.org) and Sports Gift (sportsgift.org). Perfect timing as I am in total “clean out mode” for the New Year. I love knowing that our hand-me-downs are going to … [Read more…]
Hello? Is anyone still out there in Blogland? I know… I’m a blog abandoner! My apologies to my reader(s)! I promise to be around more now that we have the holidays behind us. I’ve missed doing my little posts and am looking forward to getting back into a routine. Just to recap, I think that … [Read more…]
Last Spring we discovered Golden Spoon! All of a sudden Pinkberry and Red Mango took back seat. Golden Spoon may not be as probiotic friendly as Pinkberry and the others, but they have all sorts of fancy flavors, the majority of them being fat free! Check out their website here! Jay took the day off today … [Read more…]
Someone recently asked me “What is your fondest memory of Christmas?” I had to think about it because this question triggered me to think back and relive SO many happy memories of the holidays. I don’t think there is just ONE thing. My Mom always decorated our home to the nines. Toss pillows on the … [Read more…]
