I have a weakness for the Branam Family. And if you know them, you know why. They’re adorable and funny, but still somehow down to Earth. I know that’s a totally used up phrase now, but it’s pretty rare to come across anyone who I’d call “grounded” anymore, let alone a whole family of them....

::a new kind of ridiculous::
Most of us are more than aware of the current downturn in the economic world. I don’t think it came as a surprise to anyone that shopping and spending was way down this year compared to previous years for the Holidays. Bargain stores did well, but the clamor for who could have the best sales...
::merry christmas::
It’s officially begun – our 12 days of Christmas. Well, not actually 12 days, but for us, it is actually going to be 6 days of Christmas. It started last night with just Preston and I – our impromptu Christmas of two (the last one – how crazy is that?!). Today we’re with Preston’s family,...
::holiday spirit::
Sometimes it’s really easy for me to get into the Holiday Spirit. And other times, I find that I struggle getting into that most-wonderful-time-of-the-year thing. Which is particularly frustrating for me because of how much I love this time of year. When I get in that funk, I feel like I’m wasting it. So far...
::rainy days::
I love rainy days. Actually, I just love rain. I know some people find it dreary, but I suppose as a Californian, it doesn’t happen enough to get out of the novelty-wow-this-is-so-cool stage into the dreary. Now, it could be the Jane Austen fan in me, but every time it rains and...
::the TWILIGHT before Christmas::
So you know I’ve already admitted my addiction to the literary crack known as the Twilight Series. I was of course one of the millions of people who went to see the movie (which I thought was pretty good – esp. for only having been given 37 million to make it). And I’m not alone...
::The Top 10::
I was going through my daily barrage of emails yesterday when I came across a forward in my inbox. Normally I skip these unless it’s from someone who never ever sends forwards (no offense people – I’m sure it’s cute/funny, but I rarely have time…), but the title on this one caught my...
:: sandra’s headshots ::
Meet Sandra. My funky, fun loving, fiesty little designer extraordinaire. And believe me, when I say little, I mean little. She’s tiny. Whenever I see her, I think of the line from “Rudy” with Sean Astin where they describe him as “5 foot nothing, a hundred and nothing” (only she doesn’t make me think “Notre...
::my favorite time of the year::
I love Christmas. Like, seriously love it. I love the smell of pine. I love the smell of gingerbread (esp. in a latte…). I love the colors, the festivities, the food, the cold air (when we actually get it in California – I realize that “cold” is a relative term here…)...
:: new favorite ::
Ok, so I’m probably slow on this whole thing, but I just discovered yet another Google invention that makes my whole day! The Google Reader.
This thing is seriously a blog-stalker-girl’s best friend (or blog-stalker-guy too I suppose!). All my favorite blogs, all in one place, and it automatically tells me when there’s something...
