Pumpkin Patch Delight

The kids, sister and I went to The Pumpkin Factory in Corona today and man was it hot. They have a good amount of rides for the kids; the issue is adults can't go get them in the bounce house. We had some issues with the little ones getting scared and not wanting to get down so I wasn't to fond of that. There are picture taking spots there so that is nice; I do like to put my head in things! Overall it was okay, better for bigger kids. 
The sun was beating down today and there really is no shade so that makes it hard to enjoy; next time we will go after sunset. 


Halloween baskets are up on-line and ready to ship!

Happy Halloween

One of my favorite times of year is here- that is right Halloween!!! The weather is changing, the costumes are out and the yummy candy is being sold! Time to decide what to dress as and where to trick or treat with the kids... You have to take pleasure in all the festive decorations out there and just the sheer fun in the holiday- yummy treats, mazes and pumpkin patches; all are great traditions to have. 


We have some great baskets for the season so check out the site at:

Day at the Cemetery

We try to visit the cemetery a few times a year; some think it is weird, for us it is calming. We have a few family members buried at Green Hill in Palos Verdes, Ca and it is very soothing there. 

This is me and my niece at my grandpa Charlie's grave. Depending on the time of year they let us decorate. It is nice, so many people do for Christmas- it is a site to see. 

This is my sister Teri and her daughter; they are at my uncle Rob's grave who passed in 2006. As you can see from the photo the cemetery does keep it clean. 

This is our uncle Rick's- he died when I was 4. His grave is close to Rob's so we don't have to walk far. We find his by looking for a certain tree! 






The next decorating trip I think will be Halloween- it is one of my favorites and I enjoy my visits. I just wanted to share as this is something that brings me peace. I hope that you find your own peace in whatever makes you happy! We are all different so enjoy and take time out. 

The sweet joy of treats!

Coming soon to www.theorygiftbaskets.com 
Popcorn Night!!!! This is great for a date night or to send out to a business!  

 Picnic Basket! Full of yummy fresh baked goodies from a local bakery- great for everything! 

Creme de la Creme! Another wonderful fresh baked basket filled with treats! 

Children

Oh wow kids are funny- the simple enjoyment of standing in front of a fan and talking! But hey we all used to do it- remember the good old days! We also played tag today and ran in circles at the park, we ran until the 3 little ones fell down and laid in the grass! Then they start telling me they itch from the grass bugs and we decide it is time to leave and go play in the water at home; after all, the kids are hot, sweaty and truth be told a little smelly. You would think after all this they might want to take a nap but not these 3 they want to keep on trucking! Oh to have the energy of a child again! It is a little after 4pm and we have been going since 7am, I am in need of  nap! 


Here's hoping for a quite night! Ha I know funny right! Enjoy...

Oh it is Thursday!

Oh the joy of going to the doctors... You go in early to make sure you are signed in on time and then you still end up waiting over an hour. The fun part is waiting to be called and having to listen to all the other waiting patients. Hearing phone conversations about dead-beat dads who need to get their stuff; I mean I don't care about your personal life and really no one else does either. I find it so rude that these people continue to talk on their phones when the front desk employee is trying to get their information; I mean hold on so that the line can move up.
After all this then you get called back and still have to wait another 30 minutes before you're seen. You wait all this time for maybe 10 minutes. It is horrible and so sad. We should have a better health care system. So next time you have to go please be respectful of the others in the area and don't be ghetto....

A great gift by the way for all offices and corporate are gift baskets from: http://www.theorygiftbaskets.com

Sleep

Not getting enough sleep or constantly changing your bed time will do a number on you and your attitude. Being tired will make you sleepy, affect your driving, change your attitude, make you feel slow and fog your memory; not to mention what it will do to your health. It also just sucks to be tired and not be able to get sleep. I feel for you if you aren't getting the rest needed to refresh your body- I know saying "hey make sure you fix the problem" is easier said then done; but, you should try to find some way to get help in changing your routine. Sleep is very important and everyone needs it no matter who you are. Sometimes it is as simple as turning off all the lights and your phone; for others it is a health issue. I know because years ago I was always so tired and driving was becoming dangerous; it turned out I had restless leg syndrome, it was a bitch. My legs would shake all night and keep me up- it was crazy and so frustrating. I was told what I had after I went to a sleep center and was tested. I had to take medication for a few months and that helped. I eased my way off of it and haven't needed it since. Hopefully you can get help and get some well needed SLEEP. 
Whatever it takes you deserve to have a great sleep. Please help yourself it will benefit you in all aspects of your life!

DJ Time

Looking for a DJ can be hard because there really are a lot out there and you don't know what will happen until the party starts. I have a great DJ named Laurence and he plays in SoCal. check him out at:
http://www.djlaurenceparra.com 
His prices start at $300.00 and that is for 4 hours- he has all types of music and knows how to mix. He is experienced and has been playing in clubs and house parties for over 15 years. He started with the underground scene and has since grown into all musical fields. 
Oh and he is nice on the eyes and that always helps! 


He has great mixes that you can hear as well at the following links:

More to come!!! 
Find him on Facebook as well...

Party

Planning a princess party for a soon-to-be 3 year old is a lot of fun if you can keep everything together! She didn't pick the theme my sister and I need because it was what was on clearance at the store- hey why not! We found so many cute items a few months ago and now with everything ready we can kick back and enjoy the party. There is a yummy ice cream sandwich cake we will make- it is after all going to be in the triple digits in Palm Springs. 
I am looking forward to pin the tale on the donkey; mostly because toddlers are super funny with that game! Should be a hoot to watch! We will also have a princess pinata for the kiddies- who doesn't like candy that falls from the sky! I mean it is mostly for the grown ups but we will let the kids play! 
If you really stick to your budget and look for deals your party is way less stressful- a toddler really doesn't know what things cost so why spend a ton... 
One week to go and she will be 3! Crazy how fast they grow up! 
Share your party ideas with me!

My Opinion

Now this is only my opinion but the most of the moms on Teen Mom are so rude and disrespectful it blows my mind. I don't understand how they can have mouths like sailors and still have a show, the disrespect they show their own parents and boyfriends is out of control. Who beats their boyfriend and then throws a fit and a woe is me party because cps wants to talk to them. I know it is my fault because I watch this show but really it is like a train wreck that you can't look away from.
I really hope that they grow up and start acting like moms....

At this moment as I am working I am also watching a cake show on TLC and now I want sweets... I can't believe how much these cakes cost- it is crazy. Although, watching this show grosses me out a little because the fondle everything so much, you know...

Accident

After delivering a basket I was on the 210 east going towards Baseline when I got stuck in traffic for an hour. When I finally made it up far enough there was an overturned van just so smashed up- you just knew who-ever was in there didn't make it. Then I saw an arm laying there by what used to be the window and I was just heart-broken. So very sad to see this- makes my waiting in traffic mean nothing because I made it home. My heart goes out to the family of who-ever was in that vehicle. 
Please everyone slow down- the place you are going will still be there if you drive the speed limit!

So Sad

I recently learned that someone I worked with a few years ago was brutally taken from this earth- my heart was broken to hear what happened to her- she was a great girl. I truly pray for her children that they are watched out for and taken care of. From what I learned Brandi was shot and then set on fire in front of her children- this is a truly sad and heartbreaking story. I hope that the evil monster gets what it deserves- I don't know how someone can do that- he is not a person... Rest in Peace Brandi- God bless her kids and family.

Crazy Drivers

You know you really have to pay attention when on the roads- the drivers out there are crazy. People don't bother to follow the laws or they feel they are above them. I really get annoyed with the drivers who attach themself to your trunk but won't go around you- so annoying. And today a truck decided he didn't need to stop at the red light and just ran it- he wasn't even close to the lines where it would be reasonable to see he couldn't stop- no he was just an a#@... Where are the police when people do that.
So that is my rant today- people really watch the way you drive. Cars, truck and so forth are heavy pieces of metal that can kill if used the wrong way. DRIVE SAFE!
And as always DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE or drive under the influence of any drug.

Take Care!

Slippery Roads

Hey everyone,


With the wet and windy weather this weekend remember to watch the roads- they become very slippery! 
The sun is out however today- maybe it will warm up and we will have a great day! 
With all these weather changes my allergies have been all over the place which isn't fun. I don't know how many of you have them but when they hit man they hit hard! 
Well enjoy your day-

Yummy

I found a yummy treat from this little bakery in Upland Ca which I believe was called Cupcake Delight... It was filled with delish caramel and topped with caramel frosting- so good!!! I have wanted one everyday since- but I know we can't do that.
Well maybe once a week!!!

It's Raining

Man it is chilly outside today; the rain is coming down and I can see the snowy mountains from here! All we need is to light the fireplace and get warm! Oh and a nice cup of hot chocolate and some treats would be great! Great day if you like to bake- I am not a baker or cook so to say but I do like the end results! 
Wishing everyone a great Saturday- relax, enjoy and as always be safe out there!
