My Daughter... the Young Author!
This year, My 6 year old kindergartner was given the opportunity to write (and draw) her very own creative story for the school's Young Author Book Fair.
We took a picture of each page of her book & created this SmileBox slideshow of her story.

I love Stuck on You!
If you know me, I am notorious for labeling our belongings, especially the kids stuff. So a couple of years back I was in search of durable labels. And I mean DURABLE iron-on clothing labels that withstand wash after wash and stick-on vinyl labels that are dishwasher & microwave safe. With a quick google search, I found several options, which I blogged about HERE. I purchased a couple of different kinds from different companies and appropriately named, Stuck on You are the labels I love the most!
Recently, I entered a contest to share my story...I Was Lost & Now I'm Found!
This year my daughter started kindergarten at a private school, where they wear uniforms, including a very nice cardigan sweater. My daughter is usually very good about keeping tabs on her stuff, but one day she was really hot while outside on the playground and removed her cardigan and forgot to grab it on her way back to class. When I picked her up from school, she told me she left it on the playground, so off we went to check the playground, then the lost and found area. Sadly, nothing. Read More...
I was thrilled to be informed of winning the contest in this category and I am even more thrilled to share the news of Stuck On You continuing their 10-year Birthday Celebration where you [the readers, fans, etc.] GET the GIFTS! So I highly encourage you to check out the amazing products that Stuck on You USA has to offer, enter their contest, follow @stuckonyouusa on twitter, be a Facebook Fan, etc.
Enjoy!

2010 is the year for bikes!
This year my family decided that for each of our birthdays we would get a bicycle.
For me it's all about the comfort & a smooth leisure ride. So, I chose the comfy Trek Calyspo cruiser bike 2010, in pearl/pink/brown. The bike is decked out with 7 speeds, hand breaks, chainguard, fenders, a bike basket, a bell, & more. Besides enjoying my new bike, I'm having fun accessorizing! Hubby is getting me the very fashionable Yakkay bike helmet during his next business trip. I am consulting with Tara at Betty Basket Liners to purchase a very chic custom hand made bike basket liner that converts to a handbag - it's a substantial bike basket liner and designer purse in one!
My 5 year old daughter just learned how to ride a bike without training wheels. So, she chose the Trek Mystic 20 bike 2010, in hot pink. The bike is decked out with coaster & hand breaks, streamers, a bike basket, a bell, & more.
My 3 year old son who's been riding a tricycle just learned how to pedal a bike with training wheels. So he has inherited a friend's Specialized Hotrock 16 boys bike, in blue. His birthday is not until the very end of the year, so his motivation to "pick out" his own brand new bike will be to learn how to ride without training wheels.
My husband hasn't had his own bike since he was a child, so he was super excited to research & pick out his brand new bike. He wanted a bike he could enjoy while riding with our young kids but also enjoy while riding with his friends, some who are avid mountain bikers. So, he chose the Diamondback Response Sport mountain bike 2009, in blue. The bike is decked out with a sturdy but light aluminum frame, SRAM x-4 8 speed trigger shifters, disc brakes, & more.
We are all super excited that spring is finally here. Check out the slideshow below of all the fun we are already starting to have.
Enjoy!

I had a whrrl of a time at this year's SAPhi SJSU Chapter, Sisterhood Holiday Luncheon. Check out all the fun we had.
Enjoy!

Disneyland Resort: Holiday Parent Blogger Event
Ahhh... the magic of Disney!
About 2 weeks ago, I received an email invitation from Disneyland Resort Public Relations detailing the Disney Holiday trip I won from Xiaolin Mama, which included:
It’s no secret that I absolutely LOVE Disneyland. And I love it even more when my family & I get the VIP treatment to experience the Disney magic in style! Our experience last week was absolutely magical. The Disneyland resort, including Disneyland, California Adventure, Downtown Disney District, & the Disney hotels, were all decked out for the Holidays!
So much to say & even more to see during our jam-packed 3-day holiday at the Disneyland Resort for the Holiday Parent Blogger Event sponsored by Disneyland Resort Public Relations.
See our magical story on whrrl.
My husband & I are still in awe and can’t stop talking about the magical time our family had at Disneyland as well as the very swanky Private Holiday VIP Reception. That evening Parent Bloggers (like Xiaolin Mama) & their guests (like me) got to hang out with Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Princess Tiana, & Mrs. Clause while being treated to a delicious buffet dinner, & activities like cookie decorating, face painting, Studio Disney 365 makeovers, and more.
To cap off the evening, we enjoyed reserved viewing of the Disneyland Resort “Believe in Holiday Magic” fireworks show. This is a “must see” magical experience & Disney does not disappoint with this fireworks spectacular above Sleeping Beauty’s Castle & surprising the crowd with a spray of “snow” that covered Main Street as the fireworks show ended.
Simply put, we had a magical time!
Happy Holidays from my family to yours!
FULL DISCLOSURE: I won this trip from a contest hosted by Xiaolin Mama & sponsored by Disneyland Resort Public Relations. I was not paid to do this review… I just absolutely LOVE Disneyland! Thank you Disneyland Resort cast & crew for hosting this VIP Parent Blogger event that made our Disney Holiday trip possible.
