I’m not gonna lie to you, I may be a little smitten with these DIY painted vases I recently made out of a can, a mason jar, and an empty mayonnaise container. I made them in anticipation of all the Valentine’s Day flowers I’ll surely be getting. Ha! No, really, the truth is that I […]

Rainy Day Joy (Sundays In My City)
It’s raining in San Francisco, which is a good thing. California needs the rain.When I was a child, I wanted one of those clear umbrellas that you could see through. Now that I’m an adult, I have one and brings out the kid in me. I showed you mine, now show me yours. Share your […]
Frida Kahlo (Sundays In My City)
My family and I were walking around the Mission District when who do we bump into, or more like walk over, on the sidewalk? None other than Frida Kahlo herself. Viva la vida! San Francisco, CA. I showed you mine, now show me yours. Share your city/town/suburb/you name it! Think of this as a photography […]
Where I am & Where I Want to go; What I have & What I Want #NewYearConBritax
I don’t really make resolutions at the start of a new year. I make assessments. I reflect on where I am and where I would like to go. I think of what I have and what I would like. This year what I want is more and less. Ha! I want more free time and […]
Go Ahead and Kick Misbehaving Parents and Their Kids Out
I absolutely hate it when people complain about children being out in certain places. I mean, I totally get that there are places children shouldn’t be like strip clubs or perhaps you may not want to take your colicky newborn to a fine dining restaurant. But places like museums or planes or your local cafe–I’m […]
Bay Area Discovery Museum (Sundays In My City)
We were guests of the Bay Area Discovery Museum for their Super Kids Save the World exhibit, which will be there until May 11. Sausalito, CA. I showed you mine, now show me yours. Share your city/town/suburb/you name it! Think of this as a photography carnival or photography meme (with or without words) that not […]
I’m a Mother even When I Suck at It! (Fragmented Fridays)
This week I haven’t been on my mom game. I’ve lost my temper, been a jerk, apologized, and beat myself up over my shortcomings. I’ll get over it, but more importantly so will my kids. I haven’t been the best mom I can be, but I love my kids and I’m gonna keep on being […]
Flash Cards for a Know-it-all
I might just maybe be thinking of a particular know-it-all in my life. Here’s to never thinking, that you’ve learned all there is to know! And if you do think you know it all…maybe, just maybe, sometimes keep some of that knowledge to yourself so you don’t drive those of us who don’t know everything […]
San Francisco Zoo (Sundays In My City)
A day at the San Francisco Zoo. I showed you mine, now show me yours. Share your city/town/suburb/you name it! Think of this as a photography carnival or photography meme (with or without words) that not only lets you share your part of the world, but lets you visit other parts of the world virtually. […]
New York Nonsense (Fragmented Fridays)
I used to dream of visiting New York, then in 2001 I was lucky to visit for the very first time in my life. I went in May, months before the awfulness that would occur in September, and I fell in love. I’ve been fortunate that life has brought me back to New York on […]
