Expo West 2014 starts today!


I am so excited about attending the "Natural Products Expo West 2014" in Anaheim. It is the most incredible place to be this weekend. The Expo hosts hundreds of people who will share, talk and form relationships all in the name of healthy foods. Just drive by Katella and Harbor tomorrow to see vendors passing out samples of their most prized items. The streets all around the Anaheim Convention Center will be covered with people walking to and from the Expo West. You will see signs and cars driving around with food labels that are organic and healthy for you. This will be my third year attending. I can't wait to see what new things I will share with you.  Follow us on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook to get immediate pictures of the event. #ExpoWest




The event is like a treasure hunt field trip. At every corner there is something new and delicious. Some of the products are new and have not yet made it to the supermarket stores. Tomorrow on the floor of Expo West people will find great food treasures and share them with readers on blogs and other social media channels. Only the best tasting foods will make it to Pinterest boards, blog posts and Instagram. You may follow my journey tomorrow through Instgram and Twitter by using the following hashtag #ExpoWest2014  and #ExpoWest.  The event is not open to the public, but you will access to it through my social media. You could say that you will have the best seat in the house. I hope to see you tomorrow on social media.

I can't wait to bring my awesome food finds!

How to make a California Mission Model.

Learn how to make a California Mission Model at home or in the classroom. We made this project as part of the California Public School Fourth grade requirement in a group setting. Continue to read on to get the supply list and instructions for a successful mission model. On an ordinary day, I was reminded how amazing kids really are when there are no limits. Just as equally amazing are the teachers who guide them and teach them everyday.  I am very thankful for the opportunity that I was given as a parent volunteer.  The day was like a beautiful dance where parents, teachers and students came together for a common goal. The goal was to make models of California Missions from a simple picture and lots of cardboard.  I can honestly say the goal was reached and everyone deserved an "A".

State Testing and a letter of encouragement

State Testing CCSS SBAC is starting next week for our area.  This semester, my son's fourth grade teacher has asked that I write him a letter of encouragement.  She gave us a few weeks notice. I have, in the past few days, written a few handwritten notes of encouragement. Then, I would wake up the next day realizing that it was not loving enough and second guessing myself. This task has been a little hard for me.  Then, the final email reminder came from the teacher. It read as follow: "This is just a friendly reminder to please send a letter of encouragement to your student to be opened this coming Monday, May 1. Students will be given the letters prior to taking their first test."  Oh my goodness, I have to get it done!!! So, I put on my big girl pants and re-wrote the letter for the 5th time. This time, I made it classroom friendly and left out lots of the I love you's and all the mushy stuff I had written before. The letter went something like this:  Dea
