    Been to the movies post Covid?

    We've been several times and loved it! Because nothing new was being released, the theater showed some great classic and fun movies. Our girls got to see Ghostbusters, Back to the Future, The Goonies, and others on the "big screen." My sister and I saw The Lord of the Rings trilogy together...

    I'm getting a Ragdoll Kitten!!!

    You are going to love it! We were lucky enough to get a ragdoll kitten from our animal shelter for our daughter's birthday. He was a gift to the original owner who already had too many pets, so he took the kitty to the shelter. Long story short, "Gordo" who was promptly renamed "Eliot" has...

    76 years ago, the Beginning of the End, and today, we again remember

    I love this story about D-Day: General Montgomery's plans for the day were written on ONE page. At the very bottom was written the phrase "The key note of everything of everything to be SIMPLICITY." I have a copy of his notes hanging up with my husband's grandfather's WWII jacket and other...

    Your favorite dog breed and why...

    We had a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog named Daisy, and she was the most polite, well-tempered dog--perfect for our family. Our youngest was only 2 when we got her. Often, I would find our daughter using Daisy as a pillow, and Daisy let her lay for as long as she liked. As our family grew and...

    What do you have to lose

    4,000 cases out of 3 million people. I wouldn't call that widespread. (I even rounded up to take in consideration testing lag and future positives over the next couple of days.) Could that number go up? It probably will. As it stands now, 2,999,996 million people are fine. People are...

    What do you have to lose

    "Hydroxychloroquine is the gun. Zinc is the bullet." I read that somewhere and thought that was a succinct explanation. My husband and I saw the YouTube video of a doctor in New York who had this theory. It was pretty interesting and made us wonder if that's one of the (many) reasons why...

    Made in America

    Board Shorts World for your summer swim style! One of my roommates in college was from California and swore by this place. It's a bit pricey, but they have so many colors, patterns, and styles of board shorts for men, women, and kids. I've been really happy with them over the years...

    How is anybody able to find...

    Thanks for tip! I ended up needing printer ink too. The funny thing is that it is going to take longer to ship that than the toilet paper.

    Think you may have already had Coronavirus?

    Here's one that was just approved. https://fortune.com/2020/03/26/henry-schein-coronavirus-blood-test/ It's a blood test via finger prick. I have no idea how that compares to an actual swab, but it's a start.

    And now an earthquake

    Glad to hear your power is back on. I was up all night taking care of our new puppy and ended up sleeping through it. My husband was raised in California, so when it hit, he was out of bed like a shot (so I'm told) to check on the girls. By the time I heard the commotion, only the...

    Pulling kids out of school to homeschool (Coronavirus)

    If I'm understanding what I'm reading, it seems like homeschooling is something you've considered, and the uncertainty of the coronavirus is the proverbial straw breaking the camel's back. If that's the case, go for it. Why wait if--deep in your heart--you know it's something you want to try...

    Teaching your (adult) self to ride a bike?

    The episode is called "Fraternal Schwinns" (season 10) and is one of my favorite episodes of this show. It is hysterical. Good luck with learning to ride a bike and learning to drive!

    Sweet 16 gift

    Thinking along the lines of getting a car and depending on where you live: 1. Car wash vouchers. It's really nice to be able to wash one's car on a whim. 2. Emergency car kit. Decorate a cute bin and put useful stuff in it: first aid kit, simple tool kit. blanket, paper towels, etc. It's...

    Need a new washer......help me!

    I was never so excited to have an appliance break as when our junky Whirlpool died a slow, painful death because that meant I could finally get a Speed Queen. She's a hard worker and an absolute dream.

    I'm not fussy about my hair at all, and I understand wanting your hair to look nice. So, I hope these suggestions help. They're super easy and quick to manage. 1. I wear a fake hairpiece. :D I can't remember the brand I have, but the style is similar to this...

    Road Trip Playlist

    The Hercules and Mulan soundtracks are lots of fun. I'll venture to say if you need to break up the music listen to the DisUnplugged podcast for Disneyland. It's one of my favorite ways to get in that Disney frame of mind.

    2017 DISNEYLAND RESORT HALLOWEEN TIME / MICKEY'S HALLOWEEN PARTY THREAD!

    I had to laugh yesterday. About 30-45 minutes after the Carsland overlay was announced, I saw that the Disneyland Resort posted it's Halloween information on Twitter and the website. I can imagine some Disneyland cast member sitting with the information loaded and ready to be released, finger...
