WTF? Walmart Employee is Killed ...

By a stampede of insane shoppers at a Walmart in New York. Seriously people, is a laptop worth the life of an innocent man? Is a DVD player worth it? A six pack of men's underwear?? HELL ... NO. I even read that shoppers were angered when told that the store was closing because of the death. What the hell people? Don't forget for those of you involved ... karma can be a bitch.

Naomi Watts

I'm not pregnant but I want to dress like Naomi Watts. I've been loving her outfits whether she's going out for coffee or walking the red carpet. So pretty!

If I had a Nickel ...

for every cough I heard in my house over the past 4 days I could bail out GM. Boys and husband are still sick. What terrific timing.

Love this blog ...

Zebra Baking Mix

The boys and I baked some chocolate chip cookies with the Zebra Mix baking kit. The kit incorporates organic ingredients plus it was so much fun to make. Also the cookies were quite yummy. This would definitely make a good rainy day activity or a gift for a special little one.

Brandon's Legacy

Truly inspring.

Jack is Back!

Two years is a long time but I am happy that Jack Bauer is back to save the day.

ShopBop Discounts

My fave Shopbop and their tiered discount system.

Velvet Priya Cashmere Goodness

So want this!

Falke

Oh I just got mine and can't wait to put these on. So what if an 80's flashback, the legwarmers, but don't they look comfy? It will be useful on those cold nights where a bit of extra warmth on the ankles would not hurt at all. You can find the lovely Falke Leg/Arm Warmers at one of my fave sites, Shopbop.

Teatro Zinzani

Saw Teatro Zinzani in San Francisco last night. Highly recommended! There is fabulous food with even more fab entertainment. A must!

Boyfriend Jean

Love this look ... of course I have to be able to walk in heels and of course, I can't. Go to Shopbop to get this stylish look.

Nap Pak

An alternative to the blanket my boys are using for their naptime at school ... the Nap Pak.

Dapper Snappers

Debating whether or not to pick up a couple of these Dapper Snappers for my boys. Most of the pants I buy them have adjustable waistbands so loose pants is not so much of a problem. But you never know ...

It's About Time!

Whatever it takes, Romo or no Romo, a win is a win ... whew!

Cross My Body

Liking this handbag from SHIH by Stephanie Lin. This is the Monica Messenger in Taupe. Sweet!

Fall with Daftbird

This wrap from Daftbird is one of my favorite fall pieces. It's currently 25% off at Sway and Cake.

Twilight Fever

I absolutely CANNOT wait for this movie to be released. I would love to be Bella, of course I'm old enough to be her mother, but hey, I can dream.

I've already placed two separate orders ... give me the strength to stop looking!

Morelle

Adorable on the go bag ... the Truffle Clutch in Gray Leather from Morelle.

Frye Love

Wanted one and got mine today! This lovely item is the Frye Engineer Boot. The weather's a bit warmer this week so I'll hold off the breaking in for a few days ... what a bummer!

I Covet This

I so want this look.

Xmitten's Shop

Ooooh, I like these. Lovely fleece finglerss gloves from Xmitten.

Book Swim

Now here's a good gift idea for the book reader on your Christmas list, Book Swim. It's like Netflix, but it's for books instead of DVD's. I'd like to get a membership started so I can get some good books for my kids and cookbooks for me. I already have a Kindle so as for fiction/non-fiction books I'm set.

Pan Fried Steak from Cafe Johnsonia

So want to make this when we get back from vacation. Does anyone know where I can get organic/hormone-free cube steaks from in the Bay Area? You can find the recipe at the wonderful blog, Cafe Johsonia ... yummy recipes and beautiful photos!

PS - I also want to try the Sticky Chicken ... gives me a good excuse to get out the Crock Pot.

Moop Madness

Yum!! I so adore these bags from wonderful Wendy at Moop. I own more than I care to mention. Every bag is made to order. I think the current wait time is about 2 weeks but it is SO worth it! The bags are excellently crafted using high quality materials. I use one Moop bag pretty much at least once a day. You see I have some what of a bag fetish so I change bags like I change my ... well you know what I'm referring to. Being a mom the Moop bags are great to take to the park, swim lessons, soccer lessons, etc ... Since they are washable I don't have to stress too much about the little ones getting their sticky hands all over it.

Hurry and pick one up at her many stores (Etsy, Supermarket and Moop Shop). They sell fast! I am especially digging her organic bags. I have the Organic Market Bag in Dark Grey and love the style. Now I'm craving the Organic Espresso Brown Market Bag.

Check out her blog as to what's going on with the Moop crew.

Note to Wendy: stop with all these fabulous well made and stylish bags ... my wallet is taking a beating!

What to Eat?

I'm always trying to think of what to cook for dinner at home. Something that I think everyone will like. My search for our next meal majority of times takes me to the internet, I mean seriously, where else? I'm liking This Week for Dinner ... yummy food along with easy to follow recipes. Perfecto!

Pack it Up

It's Tuesday already and I need to pack. Family is off to Tahoe for a quick vacation. Husband and I need to maintain our players' points so that we can maintained our "loved" status at Harrah's casinos. You see, when you are "loved" by the casinos they offer you free rooms, meals, amenities, the works ... the key word here is FREE. Of course it's not really free being that we have to gamble to earn these things but we both love to gamble, so if we're going to do it anyway might as well get some free stuff.

The Most Important Meal

I really should eat breakfast every day, no REALLY every day. But I'm so rushed getting breakfast for my boys that I wave off making anything for myself. But what's so hard about a good bowl of cereal right? Nothing right. I should make a point of visiting this beautiful site, Simply Breakfast. Talk about morning meal inspiration.

I'm Hoping this Helps

I created this site so I can keep track of sites I love reading, recipes, shopping finds, etsy finds, kids' activities, sales, grocery lists, thoughts, miscellaneous, etc ... I know there's blogrolls, favorites, ... hell even pen and paper, but I'm lazy and I think this will be so much easier. This site is mainly meant for me to enhance my memory capabilities, but if you happen to find something that interest you, well even better. Enjoy and wish me luck in my attempt to organize the life of me and my family.
