Leo and Valerie’s Airbnb!
Today I have something really cool to share with you! I’m sure many of you already know about these, but for me, it’s a new concept. The Airbnb! Have you heard of them? They’re in 190 countries. There are thousands of places to stay, and […]
Staying in the Game
This week has really been an exercise in staying in the game. We’ve had our house on the market for over 20 days. Three other houses on my street sold in less than two weeks each. On Wednesday, another neighbor told us they were now […]
Pre-Spring Break at Disneyland!
We are on spring break this week. However, being a homeschool family we had the opportunity to go to Disneyland the week before our local schools went out on their breaks. It was so wonderful and not crowded at all. We could walk easily through […]

Sun Portal
Last Spring Steve and I took Emma up the coast of California to explore our state. While I was planning our trip I came across an app called Roadtrippers. It’s an awesome site and I highly recommend you check it out if you’re planning a […]
Automatic Pet Peeve
Last night I went to dinner with my BFF Kim. We met up at The Cheesecake Factory for salads and conversation that there is just never enough time for. Seriously, we could talk for days and days and it wouldn’t be enough time. Anyway, It […]
