Criminal warning from my Grandmom…

My grandparents have a cabin up in the beautiful So Cal mountains. It’s awesome!

Last year some idiot tried to break into the cabin by ripping off a window frame. Since then she has installed security alarms AND a warning written on the windows…

Parenting advice Vlog

Have you seen the Vloggersations at OC Family? They are great and I’m in some of them!

This one is from about 2 months ago. We are giving parenting advice to Jen who is about to have her first baby. The vloggersation is a compilation of a few of us OC Family bloggers. If you only want to see me (Mom) my advice is at 39 seconds, 2:34, 3:19 & 5:30 and Jen says something nice about me at 4:30 (mom, you’ll want to hear it). It has to do with being an only child. (TIME Magazine just did a great write up about only children too!)

 

And if you don’t feel like clicking over, you can watch my uncut version below. WARNING: I talk about boobs and ugly babies.

Sewing saves lives

We have a little lady at home.

She’s pretty cool…

She falls asleep anywhere, and she dances to the rhythm of her own lil’ drummer…

She’s a girly girl and we treat her like… well… a princess. One with strict rules and boundaries… of course… lol!

She doesn’t know about slavery, hunger, strife or poverty. (We live in Orange County for goodness sake!) Unfortunately for little girls around the world bondage is a reality.

 International princess 1 I was introduced to International Princess Project years ago while on staff at a local church. The organization is amazing and they are ACTUALLY making a difference in the lives of women in India though sewing. (Because sewing rules and you should totally start.)

International princess 2 Women who are rescued from brothels need some sort of occupation… Enter International PrincessTM Project. The women are trained to make some pretty kick a&$ stuff:

International princess 3    international princess project PJs

 

International PrincessTM Project has their 3rd annual Gala fundraiser coming up on September 25th at the Shorebreak Hotel in Huntington Beach. (Get tickets here.)

Don’t feel like changing out of your PJs? Buy some Punjammies at the International Princess Project shop!!!

 Don’t need PJs? Just donate some cash-o-la here.

 

 “Because every woman on earth deserves to be treated like a princess.”
