I am trying not to complain.After all, I know I lead a charmed life. =D So, as I prepare for our trip to THE CAPITAL OF OUR NATION, I am trying to remember to be thankful.Complaining is just too easy. It's the gratitude part that is tricky. So I will have a big smile on my face today and practice gratitude. =D Happy Trails! ...
Welcome To My Blog!
“Bright” is the new black
I am doing all the usual things I do on a daily basis.But today I'm also preparing for our Washington D.C. & New York trip. We leave the day after tomorrow and I'll be mobile blogging while there, but that's not important right now. We are going with our homeschool group and are pretty excited. Well, the kids are ...
Oh, the places we went . . .
It is time for the true story of what happened last week.I, Kikita, would like to apologize for my tardiness in explanation, but (as you can see) I've been rather busy DOING things so WRITING about them is not the highest priority. But I digress . . . You already have an idea of what Sheila and I were up to because Mami wasn't too far off ...
What goes around…
I want a new phone. It’s totally a pie-in-the-sky daydream at this point. I have a perfectly capable and lovely Verizon LG that does everything I want it to do. It's just that I saw a brand new one that looks better. *sigh* So, while I was driving around feeling sorry for my poor over-privileged, super-entitled self, (I know. Shut up.) ...
Puzzling Evidence
We started it about a week ago.One thousand pieces.I think the puzzle was given to Jonathan by one of his friends back on his birthday, but that's not important right now. Being the uber-geeks we are, we just covered the puzzle at mealtimes and removed the tablecloth again after dinner. We worked on it for hours. For days.There was a ...

Oh, the places you’ll go…
I love my camera.I take it with me wherever I go. (Except for that whole incident when it crashed and burned and I was going to go meet Desi (*sigh*) and I didn't have a camera so I had to get a little pocket size one because of course I just had to document that particular meeting and now I carry the little one in my purse most of the time ...
Hunting and Gathering
My internet connection is out again. (And so is my back, but that's not important right now) so it works out that I'm not sitting at my computer today. That's right... I'm Mobile Blogging once again. =) But in spite of my own personal discomfort, I still have to go out and procure provisions for my family. (it's part of my job description as The ...
Let the Cuban Festivals Begin!
Hola, hola, Coca-Cola!Kikita here, reporting live from . . . ok, not live. But here comes the full report! This may get a bit convoluted, but it will still be fun, I promise! Last Sunday, April 19th, a new Cuban Festival was being held in downtown LA. Of course I had to be there.Mami & Dad were excited to go, but I knew they would probably get ...
Best of Both Worlds
WARNING: A little bit of a homeschool rant coming up.... I'm always a surprised that when people discover that we homeschool our children they ask two primary questions.You would think the questions would have to do with the actual mechanics of doing school at home, but they don't. (I know. It's shocking to me, too.) If you ...
