Dear Ralph’s floral department manager, Thank you for putting these on clearance.  You knew that I have a hard time passing up a bargain and that I wouldn’t be able to resist them.  I’m so glad I gave in! Every time I walk into the room they give me a little infusion of joy. They […]

Broken record alert… I LOVE Fullerton! It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these.  But I just discovered a new thing that makes me love living near Downtown Fullerton even more (if that’s even possible)!  Since I work from home most of the time, once in a while I like a change of […]

Christmas is almost here! I’ve aways liked Christmas.  In the past few years I’ve grown to LOVE Christmas.  This year, maybe more than any other year, I’m aware of the importance of Christmas.  I guess I’ve just been overly aware of the hurt and pain that fills this world.  A lot of it has hit […]

Facebook is pretty great in a lot of ways (and not just because I get to see all sorts of fun videos of cats). 🙂  I love that I’ve gotten to connect with people I haven’t seen for years, including family.  My cousin Bobbi lives in Kentucky and I hadn’t seen her in at least […]

Everyone’s talking about today being the 10th Anniversary of the attacks on 9/11. And I’m glad.  I think it’s so important for us to remember.  To talk about where we were that day and relive, in a small way, the horror that that day held.  Like most of you, I remember where I was and […]

I’ve been hesitating… more like avoiding posting this all week.  But here goes. The subject of dating and marriage can sometimes be a sensitive topic for me. Oh, not about other people’s relationships. I talk with couples all the time and get genuinely excited with them about their relationships and proposals and wedding plans. But […]

Over the past year I’ve seen these vintage subway sign replicas all over the internet.  Now I know by this point they’re super trendy, but I’ve never claimed to be a trend setter.  I’m usually a little late to the game actually.  But none the less, I wanted to make one of these.  So I […]

I love to make things feel special.  Magical even.  And I LOVE being able to use things I already have to do that. So the other night, when I had my neighbors over for a barbecue, I couldn’t wait to put together something cute for the table.  Side note… we had the best burgers I’ve […]

It’s time to get back to Spain!  Well.. not literally… although, that sounds great right now, doesn’t it? We left off in the cute little Medieval town of Segovia.  Next we headed to Granada, but on our way, we stopped through Cordoba for the day. I just loved this little church we stumbled upon. One […]

The second stop on our adventure was Segovia. There’s something I really liked about this little medieval town. I tend to be partial to smaller towns anyway and this one definitely had that small town feel. I kept expecting people to jump out and start singing like in Beauty and the Beast. One of the […]
