If you were to observe any of the women in my family at a restaurant, you would note that each of us when we unroll our napkins, we place them immediately in our laps and proceed to set our silverware out in it’s proper place. I don’t want to say that we had lots of […]

In Texas we call them Mojitas

When I walked in my parents house on Thursday, my mom greeted me with a big hug and said, Moo made you a pineapple upside down cake! I think I might be the only one in my family who loves that cake, but I made a beeline straight over to her place. It was delicious. […]

I literally smiled so much at the grand opening of the Children’s Museum of Phoenix that my cheeks hurt. My assigned station was the Noodle Forest upstairs.

Hairspray…Not the musical

Me: Put curls in it, but make them loose. I don’t like a lot of hairspray. Please don’t make it look like I’m going to prom.
Lady at salon: I used to do hair in Milan. I’ll make you look like a runway model.
Me: Whoo hoo.
