Strawberry Cream Cheese Insanity

I learned a lot about cake making with this baby. Only time will tell if I try a three layer cake again. I certainly will need a stand mixer if I do it again.

Summer’s Kick-off
Posted in 100 Things, anna, family, laurel, oscar on May 25th, 2009
Three day weekends are great. Three day weekends that kick-off summer…well those are simply divine. This weekend we took the kids to visit Brian’s Aunt Kim for a morning of horseback riding.
Kim rides 3 days a week at this lovely north county farm. Oscar and Laurel were very comfortable on and around the horses. Lucky [...]
Being Married To Brian Is Fun
Posted in 100 Things, anna, brian, travel on May 13th, 2009
Brian surprised me with a trip to Catalina last weekend. I gladly accepted this trip in lieu of the typical card & flowers Mother’s Day combo. Once again, Brian’s mom stepped up to take the kids for us. Thanks, Vicki!
I learned in May 2005 (my first Mother’s Day) that I am the kind of mom [...]
Running FAST for Rolling Readers
Posted in 100 Things, anna on Apr 23rd, 2009
I have decided to enlist your help in accomplishing some personal goals. I’ve been training for a 7 minute mile and think I am ready to make this run. Will you support me in this effort? I am seeking donations of $7 (or your favorite multiple of seven; 14, 21, 28…700!) for Rolling Readers. [...]
My mom asked for some video of Laurel’s new language skills. Grammy always gets what Grammy wants. Am I right, Dad?
I am working hard to meet my goal of running a seven minute mile. So far I am running my usual distance with a half-mile at a seven minute mile pace. My plan is to [...]
I’ve been saying lots of spontaneous Yes We Can’s and Barack Obama’s as the inauguration gets closer. I’ll be watching all the action tomorrow and am very excited…but not as excited as Lydia must be. Check out her new blog from Washington:

Don’t ask Laurel about Yes We Can, though. She learned how to [...]
Number Nine
Posted in anna on Nov 19th, 2008
The 100 Things List continues to take center stage in my life. I can’t recommend enough that you make and share your own list. You’ll be surprised how things start happening. Here’s my story on #9 – Join a board of directors.
A friend of mine saw the list and asked if I’d join her as [...]
Last Saturday night, Oscar, Clara, & I braved the wilds in our backyard. We pitched a tent, unrolled our sleeping bags, and slept outside. It was #24 on the list, after all, so you knew I was going to do it, right? I’m one of those people who never sleeps well unless I’m in my [...]
Five More Down
Posted in anna on Nov 7th, 2008
When I wrote the 100 Things Post I was struggling a bit to get through the whole thing. Number 98, Coin a phrase, was more than a bit of a stretch. Did I really want to coin a phrase? Not really. Guess what I did, though? I’ve been writing occasional posts for the Volunteer San [...]
Five Down, 95 To Go
Posted in anna, family, laurel, oscar, stuff we like on Oct 22nd, 2008
Thanks many of you for your warm reception to my 100th post. I’ve been tackling some of the easy stuff on my 100 things list. Since things are pretty quiet around here these days I thought I may as well give The Full Catastrophe an update:
15. Learn to cut my kids’ and husband’s hair – [...]
