LA Auto Show

Last night, I laid in bed with the kids, breastfed Frank and talked with Audrey about the North Pole (apparently, it has lots of jelly beans). While the kids and I hung out it bed getting sleepy, Kip took over kitchen duty. He put leftovers away, put dishes in the washer and tidied things up. 

We were sent tickets and have plans to go to the LA Auto Show this weekend, something special for the boys. 

If you're local and looking for something fun to do, the LA auto show is a good choice. This is the last weekend (through Dec. 9th) to check out all the high-end sports cars, wild futuristic concepts and green alternative fuel technologies.  

Your hubby probably deserves it also. (:

something to think about

 It's so easy to forget all the nasty chemicals and poor practices involved with food production when visiting the grocery store. The kids and I get sucked in by the fancy packaging and wording all the time.

This is a smart reminder to think twice about the things we are buying, to shop local, and to visit our farmer's markets regularly. We've been part of a local farm organic produce home delivery service for some time now, Audrey and I love opening the box and finding what's inside on delivery days. It also makes me feel better about not having the time to visit the farmers market on a weekly basis.

How often do you visit farmer's markets? Have you heard about local organic produce delivery services?

 Lately...eggs have been on my mind...all the false wording on their packaging and the way the hens are treated...it's really sad. I have no idea how to take care of hens in the backyard, but it's been on my mind, do you have any experience with this?

Dia de los Muertos Cultural Festival at Rose Hills

Rose Hills Memorial Park & Mortuary is celebrating it's 3rd annual Dia de los Muertos Cultural Festival this weekend. 

Audrey and I went last year and had such a good time...we plan to go again this year! They have an art exhibit, arts and crafts activities for kids, face painting, yummy food, local vendor area and music/dance entertainment. 

It's such a fun way to learn about the culture and heritage of Dia de los Muertos. 

The event will be Sunday October 28th from 11-5:30pm and admission is free.
