Said Something Good: Went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium today with my boys... went swimming yesterday... tomorrow will be a play date & the park. Loving this weather!
A little about me: There is a story behind this photo. My oldest bought me a "bikini" from the dollar store with his own money. Here I'm showing it off ;)

Books Make You Feel Better!
<p>I just read this *very* cool article about a teenager doing some serious Boom Boom! action. She has found that reading is one of only things that helps her with her severe (& un-treatable) pain, and thought books would help other kids as well. So she gathered books from friends and friends of friends and so on and received 3000 books!

Here's a snippet and a link to the article:

"A disease that Mackenzie Bearup compares to a bomb going off in her knee prompted the 16-year-old to seek escape in the comfort of reading. Now she's helping thousands of troubled children soothe their own pain -- within the pages of donated books."

Cancer free
A friend of mine has been cancer-free for months now after dealing with numerous chemo treatments. She has two little boys and has been an amazing mom to them throughout her ordeal.

Flowers from my 6 year old
My sons were helping my husband garden today. A branch fell off of one of the Fuschia plants they were planting so my 6 year old saved it for me because it had a lot of pretty flowers on it. Sweet :)
It's Spring break! So, I'm going to spend time with my boys doing some fun stuff in and around Santa Cruz... Aquarium? Zoo? Boardwalk? Any Ideas?
