Published on Thursday, September 9, 2010 by caryn I was nineteen years old when I purchased my very first car SUV. I worked and saved and worked some more to buy exactly what I wanted.

Have You Heard? South Coast Loves Bloggers!
Published on Friday, July 9, 2010 by caryn I learned how to shop from my mom. As a former New Yorker, she'd buy a new outfit every week during her time as a single woman. Shopping was (and still is) our "thing." I grew up in LA, where there was no shortage of malls. But on those weekends when we would make the trek down the OC, I had to visit South Coast Plaza. A couple of weeks ago, I had the privile... Read More » -

Published on Monday, July 5, 2010 by caryn As someone who's traveled all over the world, it's pretty rare for me to stay in a luxury hotel. As long as a facility is clean and quiet, I'm content. However, when my husband and I want to go away by ourselves...we try to stay in quaint bed and breakfasts or spa resorts. A few months ago, I had the opportunity to stay at the InterContinental Montelucia Resort... Read More » -

The Most Efficient Way to Get the Laundry Don...
Published on Wednesday, May 12, 2010 by caryn I have no idea how the amount of laundry exponentially increased with baby number 2, but I find myself doing laundry almost every day. The physical act of throwing the laundry in the washer and dryer is not the difficult part. It's the sorting, stain removal, folding, and putting away that takes way too much time. About a week ago, I returned from a trip to Ari... Read More » -

Fifty Nifty…Gopher Style
Published on Tuesday, February 16, 2010 by caryn I'm constantly amazed at the programs available for children these days. I don't remember receiving a computer until I was in high school. And apart from writing papers and playing Solitaire, I don't remember spending time doing anything else on it. More and more kids are going online to play games, read stories, and view programs. In fact, I recently learned of... Read More » -
