I am a Christmas person. I don’t love eggnog, but I love everything else about Christmas. We believe in Santa. And Jesus. The Santa and Jesus combo on the front lawn doesn’t bother me…I’ll just put that out there. It makes me laugh but it doesn’t bother me. Disclaimer: We are a participant in the…
My husband and I are in the process of preparing to buy a car. I’ll just pause for a second and let you take a few minutes to be impressed at our level of organization. You see, we have never really planned out our car-buying process. In the past, we’ve made the decision to replace…

We all have life goals, right? Bucket list items? We totally do. Drive a high performance vehicle on a race track? Ummm. Nope. Never been on my list of things I need to do before I die. But I did just that and it was the thing in my life I didn’t know I needed….

My friends and I drove the Passat from Los Angeles to Palm Springs. We checked into the lovely Miramonte Indian Wells Resort and…
Disney is magic…but we all knew that, right? This summer, I had a very cool opportunity to get a peek behind the curtain. I got to spend a day at Disney Animation Studios and talk to the awesomely creative people behind the upcoming movie, Ralph Breaks the Internet. Even though I got to see a…
I often wonder about my boys’ lives before they joined our family (for newer readers, my boys were adopted at two-years-old and three years-old, respectively.) They are four months apart and are now eight and in the third grade. I always wonder how they will see their adoption stories when they are older. I wonder in…
Disney movies are a wonderful, magical thing. Some fall into the category of “my movies” – the classics I grew up with. Others fall into the category of my daughter’s movies and still others, my sons’. There’s an 18 year age gap between my daughter and my sons, so there was a period of time…
Texans like their trucks. We all know this, right? Big hair, big trucks, everything’s bigger in Texas. We’ve all heard that. I have never owned a truck, though. My dad had a truck during most of my growing up years. I’ve certainly driven my fair share of trucks over the years but I’ve never owned…
