Living life Cali-Style
On December 8th, 2008, our whole world changed! Our son, Connor Kenneth Charles Zeiss, who was supposed to be born in March, decided to make an extra early appearance. He was born at 27 weeks gestational period. He weighed just 1 lb. 9 oz. He had several complications along the way, including two strokes, which […]
MoreToday, November 13, 2020 is World Kindness Day! This is one of my favorite days of the year, because I’m a big fan of being kind, teaching others to be kind and kindness in general. I mean who isn’t? Well, unfortunately, not everyone is. This pandemic has brought out both the best and worst sides […]
More“There are not words big enough. There is not a hug strong enough. There is not a smile wide enough. All I can offer is thank you. You are my hero. You are in my thoughts. You are in my prayers. For all you’ve done, thank you.” – Author Unknown I cannot begin to tell […]
More9/11… I will most certainly never forget. We flew home from my brother-in-law’s wedding in Baltimore, MD on September 10th. Just one day before terrorists boarded US planes and crashed them into our precious landmarks. My daughter was just 4 months old. My husband had to be at work early, so he was up getting […]

MoreBecause I have a tension for detail! Bah-duh-duh! Ha, ha… Okay, so it’s cheesy, but at least had to make a quick joke about it! I feel so bad for falling off the map! I enjoy so much conversing with my friends here on Instagram. I feel a great sense of community here. But, once […]
MoreWe unfortunately started too late to make it to the last winery, Cavaletti Vineyards, and I’m super bummed about that! But I promise to make it back soon and check it out! I’m so blessed to have had such and fun and productive trip. I was able to help out my Mother in Law with […]
More“If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way.” ~ Martin Luther King, Jr. Yes!! This quote is so perfect for me. I always say, “if I had more money”, I could do so much more to help! But I need (we all need), to remember that we don’t […]
MoreSo… I was on Instagram and saw this ad for TextsFromSanta.com! My son is almost 11 and I figure my time with him believing in Santa is limited, so I wanted to check this out. And, I’m so gad I did! For just $15 (I believe) I signed him up to get daily texts from […]
