Electronics in 2014

I really don't mind the electronics for kids. It actually keeps them together and safe. Notice I'm sitting right behind them watching like the eye in the sky! Ha!

I think I'll buy a board game or two just so they don't lose their communication skills!

Julia's 15th Birthday December 18, 2013

My daughter Julia turned 15 yesterday December 18,2013

The same day I turned 50.

Here is my Facebook posting:

To my daughter Julia Gonzalez. Happy Birthday. I love how we share the same birthday, just 2 minutes apart in the time.You have blessed me for the past 15years. Saved me from myself 15.9 years ago. You helped guide me to the bible and having a personal relationship with God. You always sum up everything thing in life with just a few words...."Oh Momma, they just need Jesus".You make me strive to be a better Christian and Mother. I love you more than sushi.

 Here's one of her Birthday presents from her Brother Rodney (22)

Yesterday Julia's Brother,Rodney and I went to Graffiti Beach in South Park /Golden Hills near Downtown San Diego. Julia saw the dress a few weeks ago during the South Park Luminaries Walk. Looking at the price tag, she never imagined owning it . She took at look at the price and said Oh, Momma some day! Well her day came! The look on her face was priceless.

The Forge: stripes and a how-to for braided bangs

 via The Forge: stripes and a how-to for braided bangs:

Side Front Braid

1. Part your hair pretty far on one side (whichever side works best for you)
   
2. Select three strands of hair to braid with and do a reverse/inverted french braid where you simply braid the hair under instead of over and keep adding hair in mostly from the top of your head
   
3. Important: don't braid too tightly! keep that braid low on your forehead as you go
   
4. Pin somewhere by your ear or finish off braid and tie with a skinny hair tie
   
5. Use some hair spray to control fly aways
   
6. Practice, practice, practice!

Here are some books on braiding
