Today I cried like a baby...



JJ and I at Six Flags while on vacation this summer.

Every morning since school started this fall I have take my kindergartener to school. I get out of the car and walk him to his class, remind him to turn in his homework and we say our good byes (no kiss, he is too grown for that now don't you know). Yesterday morning we saw JJ's little school friend walking from the "drop off" spot right in front of the school to class. I asked JJ if he wanted to walk with his friend. He told me he wanted to walk with him and me to class. So we all walked to class together.

This morning we saw his friend again in the same spot. JJ was so excited to see him and squealed with excitement, he had made an official real friend cause they walked to class together yesterday. Five year old's are so funny! I asked him again today if he wanted to walk with his friend to class. And he told me YES. Ahhh!! I know I have been prompting him to ditch me and shouldn't be surprised when he wanted to, but still. He is my baby and him walking away with his friend, leaving me standing there was a huge step towards independence in my eyes. So we said our quick good bye's and he walked off with his new friend, the two of them side by side.

At that point as I watched him walking away he suddenly looked taller, older and down right cooler to me. And I ached for that baby boy of mine. I want to keep his little sweet and innocent self and store it in a bottle for safe keeping. Silly really, I know. I didn't even cry when I dropped him off the first day of school, but here I was crying like a baby on a random Thursday in the parking lot of the Elementary school that my baby is now attending. This growing up thing has been a little bit hard for me to swallow. But with every milestone I am seeing JJ grow into this sweet, independent, confident kid and it is awesome.

No baby dolls for this little girl!




After having two boys you could imagine all of the excitement I felt when I found out we were having a GIRL!! I thought of all of the pink clothes, the pretty bows and all of the baby dolls we could play with. There are no baby dolls on this little girls agenda...at least not yet. For the life of me this girl will not play with "her" toys. She has baby dolls already and some pink girlie toys but so far all she does is play cars with the big boys. I know she is still a baby and "monkey see monkey do" and that is what she sees her brothers do all day. It is so funny to see her crawling around on one hand while the other is pushing a car or truck. Soon she will be playing dolls (or not and that is ok too) and think that the boys are too loud (at least I think they are) and I will be able to log in all of my baby doll playing hours. Until then I will enjoy watching Ashley playing right along side her big brothers.

Got a little addicted to Jane's Hotel!


Here is info about Big Fish Unlimited and how it works-
Big Fish Unlimited enables customers to play casual games that are running in the cloud and are instantly accessible on a variety of connected devices via interactive streaming video. As the games are physically playing in the cloud, game progress is saved remotely, allowing customers to easily continue their sessions across devices, which now includes PC browsers and Android devices, and will expand to support Connected TVs.



What I like about Big Fish Unlimited is that you don't have to download the games your computer. I also like that you can try out Big Fish Unlimited FREE for 7 days, a preview before you decide this is the subscription for you! And if you are a big gamer a subscription access to the Big Fish Unlimited premium catalog is available for a $7.99 monthly fee. A really good price considering they have more than 100 instant streaming games, and they are adding new games every week! I am the type of person where I really get into the game and the in's and out's of it, like buliding a hotel chain or playing a great Hidden Object game. I like that I can play games at home or on my phone while waiting at places like the doctors office or soccer practice.

Do you buy Pink Items for October?


 By Laura

Each year when October arrives I am excited for Halloween. But I also am keeping my eyes out for products that "go pink" for October Breast Cancer Awareness month. I enjoy putting my money where I think it will be donated to research for a cure. Just this week I bought soup and chicken sausages since they both had the pink ribbon on them.

If you are a local reader, Sacramento / Citrus Heights / Roseville CA reader there is an event at the Fountains of Roseville.

HOT Pink 5k
21 Oct 2012 8:45 am

Placer County Breast Cancer Endowment will host the Fifth Annual HOT Pink Run to raise money for breast cancer research. This year’s family friendly run will feature a NEW 10K, 5K Run/Walk and 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk. The chip-timed 5K & 10K races start and finish at the Fountains in Roseville.

Do you purchase products that are Pink for October or participate in fundraisers like a marathon?
