La County Fair California fun things to do

There is so much to see and do at the LA County Fair.  From the beautiful gardens to the miniature trains, there is something for everyone.  Two weeks ago we visited the LA County Fair.  First, we started out in the farm section to see all of the animals.  The fair has drastically improved the farm /animal section. In the past, I remember that horrible farm smell.  Well not anymore!  It was fun to see all of the baby animals, plus my boys loved it.  … [Read more...] about LA County Fair

Minimalist Homemaker Tag – Living With Less

· LIFESTYLE, MINIMALISM

About a year ago we started to adopt the ways of a minimalist.  Being minimalist to me, is just a label for not living in excess.   It's about keeping what you use and love and getting rid of the rest.  Not buying what you don't need or buying way too much of what you want.   I like to compare it to food, if you ate one piece of cake once in a while you would enjoy it.  If you ate several pieces of cake everyday you would probably get sick.    This is how … [Read more...] about Minimalist Homemaker Tag – Living With Less
