Finding BonggaMom: Aliens have taken over my teen... but she's fighting back

http://bonggamom.blogspot.com/2015/03/aliens-have-taken-over-my-teen-but-shes.html

Aliens have taken over my teen. but she's fighting back. A friend once told me that parenting during the teenage years goes so much easier if parents remember that an alien has taken over their teen. Eventually the real person will emerge, but when faced with eye-rolling, inattention, attitude, rebellion, or worse, just take a deep breath and keep telling yourself, It's Not My Daughter, It's An Alien. Yesterday The Pea handed me this poem:. A Poem of Gratitude to My Mother. When I lost my phone. Ah, livi...

If youre planning a drive down Californias Highway 1, make sure your drive takes you across Bixby Bridge.

Finding BonggaMom: How to make a Toy Story Alien costume

http://bonggamom.blogspot.com/2013/10/how-to-make-toy-story-alien-costume.html

How to make a Toy Story Alien costume. This year, The Pea and her 2 BFFs decided they wanted to be Toy Story Aliens for Halloween. We found ready-to-wear costumes. But they all looked hideous, so the gals decided they would make their own. The trickiest part of the costume is the alien's head, but if you're handy with a glue gun, you shouldn't have a problem. Here's what you'll need:. Green beanie cap (we couldn't find a green beanie so we bought a yellow one and dyed it green). Black or brown felt.

Finding BonggaMom: Grilled cheese and mushroom sandwich

http://bonggamom.blogspot.com/2013/04/grilled-cheese-and-mushroom-sandwich.html

Grilled cheese and mushroom sandwich. Today is National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day. But I didn't find out about it until mid-morning, so I wasn't able to make grilled cheese sandwiches for the kids' lunch. I'm not about to let such a delectable holiday pass by without any fanfare, so naturally I put grilled cheese sandwiches on the menu for dinner. Happy National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day! Here's hoping your grilled cheese sandwiches bring back lots of good memories for you. Friday, April 12, 2013.

Finding BonggaMom: Inside Disneyland's Dream Suite

http://bonggamom.blogspot.com/2013/08/inside-disneylands-dream-suite.html

Inside Disneyland's Dream Suite. I've spent the last 4 days showcasing a few of the ways you can blow some big bucks at the Disneyland Resort. Any of the 5 Signature Suites - the Big Thunder. Suite, Fairy Tale. Suite, Adventureland Suite. Pirates of the Caribbean. Suite or Mickey Mouse Penthouse. What is the Disneyland Dream Suite? You can enter the Dream Suite via a grand staircase that starts right outside Tarzan's Tree House, but we used the side entrance that is accessible via elevator. Bamboo tr...

Finding BonggaMom: So You Athletes Think You Can Dance? Yes, We Can!

http://bonggamom.blogspot.com/2015/02/so-you-athletes-think-you-can-dance-yes.html

So You Athletes Think You Can Dance? Yes, We Can! When friends and family think of my sons, the first words that come to mind are probably: Identical. I would add Handsome. And a million other complimentary adjectives that make it obvious I'm their parent. I wouldn't have thought to add Performer. But it's becoming pretty clear that they are. This past month they joined the cast of Aladdin in their school play - and gasp, they even gave up soccer practices and games to do it! It just goes to show you:.

Finding BonggaMom: How to make a minion shirt

http://bonggamom.blogspot.com/2013/08/how-to-make-minion-shirt.html

How to make a minion shirt. When I found out that we'd be taking a last-minute trip to Universal Studios Orlando. I knew I had to find a Despicable Me Minion shirt to wear. But purchasing character shirts at theme parks can be expensive (especially when you're buying for five), and I couldn't find a cheaper version at Target or Walmart that I liked. I wanted an evil minion shirt, but I couldn't find any, even on the Universal Orlando merchandise shop. Here's how I did it:. 5) Gently peel the transfer pap...

http://bonggamom.blogspot.com/2015/05/10-things-on-my-to-do-list-for.html

10 Things on my To-Do List for the Disneyland Diamond Celebration. There's never enough time to do everything I want to do at the Disneyland Resort. Next week I'll be there during their 24-Hour Celebration, but even with all that extra time in the parks, there's no way I can experience all the special events and celebrations they have planned. I have the full list of 24-Hour/Diamond Celebration happenings. Take a photo in front of the blinged-out Sleeping Beauty Castle and Carthay Circle Theater. I'm not...

Finding BonggaMom: Ways to save time at the Disneyland Resort

http://bonggamom.blogspot.com/2015/03/ways-to-save-time-at-disneyland-resort.html

Ways to save time at the Disneyland Resort. Many Disneyland and Disney World posts are about ways to save money. That's not surprising - Disney vacations don't come cheap, and it makes sense to save wherever you can. That being said, however, I think the most scarce (and hence, valuable) commodities you have while on vacation is time. You spend at the Disneyland Resort, here are some tips on how to save time while you're there:. Purchase park tickets before you arrive. Arrive at the parks early. Most peo...

Finding BonggaMom: Wordless Wednesday: Grilled Cheese

http://bonggamom.blogspot.com/2015/04/wordless-wednesday-grilled-cheese.html

Wordless Wednesday: Grilled Cheese. This Sunday, April 12, is National Grilled Cheese Day! Grilled cheese is one of my favorite comfort foods, and thanks to our beloved panini maker, it's so easy to make. Whether it's grilled ham and cheddar, bacon and cheddar, tomato and cheddar, gorgonzola and fig, chevre and cranberry, brie and pear, swiss and mushroom. Or any other combination of cheese and flavor kicker, there's nothing like it. Wednesday, April 08, 2015. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
