I went to the LA County Fair yesterday for the first time and I came away with these impressions: 1. If there is a recession going on, you couldn’t prove it by the LA County Fair attendance. There were thousands of people there, all spending money hand over fist on over-priced food, carnival games and [...]
Sarah Auerswald / Sarah's Blog, Tweens / 2 Comments
Being the mother of a Tween boy was not what I imagined it would be when I thought about having kids. I pretty much imagined holding my baby in a rocking chair and cuddling with him. That was about as far as I got. Maybe I saw a soccer team in my future where I [...]

My video career has been launched, apparently! I really love this video – it makes me laugh every time. And I realize that’s pretty ridiculous… My MomsLA co-Founders Elise Derby & Yvonne Condes and I pretended we were actresses for a day to promote an upcoming Blogger event with the Anaheim/OC Visitor and Convention Bureau, [...]

My Mother started this Hawaiian quilt for me before she died and never got to finish it. My Aunts, my mom’s sisters, took it and finished the appliqué of the pattern, each of them taking their turn, each of them having a part of their soul in it now for me. And then they gave [...]

The new Camry’s are here! The new Camry’s are here! I feel a little like Steve Martin’s Jerk when the new phone books came out, but you must understand: I was invited to see the Reveal of the 2012 Camry in Hollywood and while I was watching, a big red dance number broke out, I [...]

My kids are about to start Back-To-School and, as I’ve said, my stomach is not too happy about it. But it’s happening anyway and I needed to figure how to be a volunteer My Way this year, not the way the school or the other volunteers would have me do it. And hopefully without getting [...]

School starts in a few weeks and I could not be less excited. I’ve been enjoying my summer immensely and just now someone emailed asking me to do a big favor for a school project. And the ball drops into the pit of my stomach. I don’t want to be asked to help a crumbling, [...]

BlogHer ’11 has wrapped up and I am getting back to my old, normal routine. Gone is the hotel room, the seeing thousands of digitally-connected women all in San Diego to connect in real life and learn and build businesses – and gone is the SWAG. Now I’m back home and back to a house [...]

I am about to turn 49 years old and it occurs to me that getting a pimple should be out of the question. But it is not, apparently. The skin just under my nose is ready to erupt into a big ugly pimple, and you know what? I am kind of annoyed. It’s really crummy [...]

I absolutely love my sons. Love! Them! I know I would love my children if they were girls also, but I do just love the fact that they are boys. Tonight we went to see Cowboys and Aliens – which is a really a ridiculously bad movie – but it’s so fun to go out [...]
