Can someone please tell us exactly when our daughter decided to turn into a full-blown kid?

A review (and my first quote!)
The Hyundai Accent was a fun little car, and it really surprised us during family duty!
Check out the review here.
A few days after the review posted, NPR posted this article, (“Women’s Car-Shopping Tactics Steer Them Toward Better Deals”) and they quoted me! Although I’m unnamed, you’ll recognize the opening sentence in the article where Cars.com + MotherProof are mentioned.
WE LOVE LACMA
Just another Sunday-Funday at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art! We are so happy to be card-carrying members now, and we are putting that membership to great use these days. We’re especially glad to see Ruby has just as much fun there as we do.

A fun installation of yellow plastic bands to play in!

Mommy + Ruby checking out the Kellogg’s Corn Flakes Boxes by Andy Warhol
The newest fun exhibit is Metropolis II, an awesome miniature city with cars racing through it! Of course, anything in miniature is a given love for Ed, and Ruby is fascinated by watching the cars go. Here’s part of the piece:
And here’s a short clip of it in motion:
And finally, here’s a cute little clip of Miss Ruby, having fun playing around all the lamp posts in Chris Burden’s Urban Light:
Mad Dog Face!
Our favorite expression these days.
Oh Palm Springs, How we have missed you!
What has always been a yearly tradition, we are headed back to Palm Springs for my birthday and Modernism Week this year! This is a major milestone for us, because we are leaving Ruby with Grandma + Grandpa and heading out for 2 glorious days/nights! Ed + I have been giddy ever since booking the trip this afternoon.
This year, we have decided to stay at Hope Springs Resort. It’s been on our list for while, and we decided to go for it this year. It’s actually in Desert Hot Springs, so outside of Palm Springs proper, but its gorgeous and somewhere different, and a little bit more budget friendly than our past trips, like at The Parker and The Viceroy. :) We figure the 3 hot mineral pools and the amazing mid-century modern grounds will make up for the 20 min. commute into Palm Springs for the day …
We’re also going to check out Charles Phoenix’s new Retro Slideshow, “Pools, Patios, and BBQs”. We can NOT wait! We saw his Christmas slideshow a few years ago, and it was too rad for words. This is going to be a great weekend … I’ve never been so excited to turn another year older!
