A Pet’s Tail…

If you asked my family, 2011 was not  a year for pets. Our two cats (19 and 14) and our beloved dog Aimee (14) passed, I lost three kittens to various diseases and accidents, and then Mama Cat ran away in October, never to be seen again. I had a panic attack this morning when we realized…

Whew. Riveting, depressing, hard, invigorating, stimulating, intriguing, painful, exciting, disappointing…every emotion and adjective could be used to describe my year in 2011. So many blessings and so many heart-aches; it’s difficult to know where I stand emotionally sometimes. But God is good, and already has showed me a little miracle this New Years Day. It’s…

Drew’s mom Tami totally outdid herself with an awesome rendition of a “Cars” party! With pumping your own juice, “Mater’s Rusty Nuts and Bolts”, and McQueen’s Whitewall Tires, it was a creative and tasty tribute to Andrew’s favorite movie! Happy birthday to my birthday buddy!

I love being a girly-girl. Hence why I was a little jealous when Alex got all dressed up for prom. Today marks the final Moraca-kid prom! Makeup done by yours-truly. Enjoy!

Roberta Inscho has been my best friend since we were 12. Though junior high was horrid and awkward for me, I wouldn’t take it back for a $1,000,000 because we would have never met. She was my maid of honor at my wedding, has her own blog, and talked me into starting this one. She…

My grandparent’s 65th anniversary party was a huge success! Instead of describing the event, I thought some pictures would tell a better story. Enjoy!

Today, December 30, 2010, marks my Grandma and Grandpa Hosmer’s 65th anniversary of being wed, and I thought a little interview and blog story was in order. First off, if anyone wants some detailed history about Modesto, all you need to do is ask my grandma, Erma Hosmer. She…

it’s too early…

November 4, 2010 at 8:22 pm

Christmas in July? No, but just as bad. Don’t get me wrong, Christmas is my favorite holiday, but the reason it’s so special is because it’s once a year. Now, it’s turning into 1/4 of a year. I refuse to set up for Christmas until Black Friday, the way Jesus intended: full of turkey! My…
