Disneyland

 The popcorn at Disneyland is magical! It smells SO good. I love how these little men make the popcorn. Different workers turn the popcorn depending on where you are in the park.

New Star Tours ride is REALLY fun

Downtown Disney

Princesses hanging out by a castle.
I had a wonderful Mother's Day weekend! On our way to LA for the EIF Revlon Run/Walk for Women's cancer we stopped at the happiest place on earth.

Birthday Weekend

I had a lot of cute boys at my party!
Birthday nails: Hot Pink and Glitter
I had to get this nail polish because it looks so festive and it's called Sarah. I am not sure how long I will be able to live with candy nails.
I had a fun Birthday weekend. We were busy all weekend so I wouldn't call it a relaxing weekend. F.W had races on May 5th. We got to hang out on the bay and watch him paddle. I baked a vanilla cake and made chocolate frosting. It was a little dry I should have used cake flour...I won't make that mistake again. However I did find a frosting recipe I love because it's not to sweet. I am working on a sewing project. I want to finish it soon so I can share it with you.

Amy Butler's book



My sister got me this book for my birthday.

I am not sure what my next sewing project is going to be. Should I make another bag? Something I could wear? I just don't know. One thing I am proud of is I have no unfinished projects. I start I finish. I think that is why I am apprehensive to start a project because I want to make sure I finish it in a timely manner. I would like to go to a fabric store this Friday and pick a new project.

New library find
I might not be able to live in the 30's but I can sure bake like it's 1934.

May Grey or my PSA on skin cancer

F.W. is the 2nd rower from the front of the boat.
I love this weather however it is chilly when you're in the water. I'm glad the sun hasn't gotten to powerful yet. I burn easy especially on my chest. I wish I would have worn sunscreen more often when I was young. In my teens one of my sisters would fake and bake in a tanning bed and I would joke/tease her that she was going to be Grandma No Nose when she got older. Did you know May is National Skin Cancer Awareness month? Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the US. A person's risk of melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, doubles if you have had 5 or more sunburns at some point in your life. I went to my Dermatologist today for my biannual full body search. I've had precancerous cells taken off of my nose in the past. This time my Doctor gave me a topical cream to use on my nose AND chest. I have this terrible fear I am going to be Grandma No Nose. My Doctor found 2 abnormal moles on my back. She measured and took a picture to keep an eye on it. I will go back in July to remove one of the moles. The whole visit really bummed me out. What bugs me about skin cancer is the best thing you can do is stay out of the sun but how is that possible in sunny Southern California??Blah 

Anyways wear sunscreen people!!
