Strawberry Cream Cheese Insanity
Posted in anna, stuff we like on Jun 10th, 2009
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.

Our Kids Are Cute
Posted in laurel, oscar, stuff we like on Mar 23rd, 2009
Clever title, eh? Well, Laurel and Oscar are cute. So there!
Oscar’s drawing skills are coming together all of a sudden. He is for the first time thinking about what he wants to create, vs just scribbling. Here’s something he created at school last week.
He had his teacher copy down the following description of his piece: [...]
Just for Fun

We borrowed a few episodes of The Muppet Show from the library. Don’t you love it when your kids enjoy the same stuff that you did back when you were little?
Five Down, 95 To Go

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 – [...]
Proud To Be An American Breakfast
Posted in stuff we like on Jul 5th, 2008
Brian and Oscar ventured out this morning to bring back doughnuts. Such fine young men, right? Here’s my favorite buttermilk bar from Mary’s Donuts paired with a patriotic fruit salad. I love a good buttermilk bar for the contrast of the soft and tangy cake inside against the crunchy crust of super sweet glaze.
Brian got [...]
My Keeping Quilt
Posted in family, stuff we like on Jul 3rd, 2008
A while back I wrote briefly about my family tree on this post along with a photo of Laurel wearing a babushka. Our friend, Lydia, left a comment on that post mentioning a children’s book called “The Keeping Quilt” that I finally read for the first time. It is indeed an amazing book that felt [...]

We are trying to spend our Friday afternoons doing fun stuff for the kids this summer. Last week we went to the beach and today we went to Balboa Park for the zoo and for a ride on the Miniature Railroad Train. It is a simple and sweet ride around some landscaped grounds of the [...]
Brian on Lifehacker
Posted in brian, stuff we like on Jun 27th, 2008
I was planning on blogging about yesterday’s good stuff* until Brian got himself posted on Lifehacker today! Earlier this week he submitted photos of his home office on Lifehacker’s “Featured Workspace” series and wouldn’t you know it, he’s been featured. More than 11,000 people have read this post already–he’s got his 15 minutes of fame [...]
Tearful Reunions
Posted in stuff we like on Jun 22nd, 2008
Last night Brian and I watched a bit of the PBS documentary “Carrier” about the people who worked on the naval aircraft carrier Nimitz during a deployment to the Persian Gulf. All of the people featured in their interviews are genuinely likable. The footage of life on the ship and its operations (esp. the jets) [...]
Picture Book
Posted in stuff we like on Jun 11th, 2008
For Laurel’s birthday I had a picture book made of photos from her first year of life. I used a company called Blurb and was really happy with the result. They provide a cool program called BookSmart that makes it really easy to import pictures and author your book. You can then upload your book [...]
