Back in December we welcomed a new addition to our family – Holly The Dog! Holly is a rescue from Baja Dog Rescue down in San Diego (they do great work if you are in the SoCal area and looking to adopt a dog – they come highly recommended) and she has brought more joy [...]

As one of the Walmart Moms I’ve been truly blessed with all sorts of amazing experiences. However, being invited to be one of Walmart’s two red carpet correspondents for the premiere of the new Jackie Robinson biopic ’42′ most definitely tops them all. You’ll recall that I’ve worked the press line at a premiere before, [...]

Sometimes a girl just has a bad day. Today was one of those bad days for my sweet girl – she came home from school exhausted only to discover that our dog had eaten her new favorite headband. The one with the purple jewels on it! So she did what any tired kindergartener would do [...]

I love the colors of Easter and Spring, and I have always loved incorporating them into my home for decor purposes as Easter draws near. This year Walmart challenged me to make a budget-friendly Easter craft – and I knew that I wanted to use bright spring colors and create something that I could bring [...]

  Last week was Audrey Grace’s 6th Birthday and also her 6th birthday party. This year we pulled out all of the stops and went with a full-on Cowgirl theme. We had the party at Zoomars Petting Zoo here in San Juan Capistrano and all of the kids had a blast because our plan of [...]

I have a simultaneous love/hate relationship with Valentine’s Day. I love it because I’m a big sappy romantic and I love any excuse to get dressed up and go out with my amazing husband all while being extra lovey-dovey.

While there is never a good time for cold and flu season, at the very least it coincides with the citrus harvest – which is a natural way to help boost your immune system. Living in California at this time of year means you can’t help but discover different types of citrus – up until [...]

I remember when I was a child, overhearing my parents talking about their appointment with their accountant to get their dreaded ‘taxes’ done. It always seemed like such serious, big adult business. And now that I’m a full-fledged adult out on my own I realize that I was right – if there is one time [...]

It’s funny – when I first had domesticity thrust upon me roughly 8 years ago I did everything in my power to avoid cooking. I automatically assumed I wouldn’t be able to handle it or do it as well as everyone else, so I just decided that I didn’t like it. I did however, take [...]

Every year we celebrate a much-loved holiday tradition – we go shopping and we look for toys that we can donate to Toys for Tots. This year Walmart graciously gave us $100 to purchase toys to donate to the charity of our choice. As is our tradition, we brought them to Toys for Tots.

In my work with Walmart I’ve been fortunate to have the opportunity to travel to the hub of all of the action on more than one occasion (remember my trip to Walmart’s Shareholders meeting?) in Bentonville, Arkansas. However, I was especially looking forward to my last trip there because it was the highly-anticipated Holiday trip [...]
