Whittier Senior Portraits: Vanessa, Class of 2011

Vanessa is one of the sweetest girls you could ever meet. Brilliant, kind, and beautiful are some of the ways I would describe Vanessa. She is pretty much good at every thing she does, from doing the morning announcements while playing a crucial role on ASB to being captain of the Varsity Cheerleading team that…

Fullerton Bees: Backyard Beekeeping

Managing your own personal honey machines can be a dangerous endeavor, so we thought. Last week, John went to turn our composter and noticed some bees flying into it. Lots of them. After opening up the composter and seeing hundreds upon hundreds of bees, we quickly figured out we had a problem. Over the course…

    wow Amber!! I remember seeing your post on FB about this, so cool that it worked out so well! I was so surprised when you showed the open “hive” the comb was HUGE!! Glad everything worked out! πŸ™‚

    OMG! Thank goodness you were able to get rid of them. Oh, and thank goodness I wasn’t at the Fox Pad when all of this was going on, because I am deathly afraid to bees! Seriously1 I turn into a five year old.

  • Kate PalmerJune 20, 2011 - 2:03 pm

    I love this! What a great lesson and happy solution.

  • GailJuly 14, 2011 - 7:12 am

    This is so fascinating! And good for you for finding a humane way to rid yourself of the bees.

    The crazy thing about that amount of honey is knowing how many bees are IN that colony to make that gallon or two — I was in this natural foods store in Asheville over the weekend and saw this little honey bee captured in a jar of a teaspoon of honey and it had a card that said “One honeybee produces a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime” — or something to that effect ….so there are LOTS of bees making that bulk happen πŸ™‚

The Fox Pad

So lots of you have been asking when I was going to post photos of our new house in Fullerton. We just celebrated our four month anniversary in our darling home. We still have lots still do, but we are feeling very settled. And yes, I LOVE being a home owner. I can’t believe how…

Fullerton Family Portraits: The Albertos

I LOVE this family! We met in the strangest of ways. A couple of months ago, John and I were sitting next to this fun couple at an 80’s dance party hosted by RocK Harbor Fullerton. Making small talk with our new friends, we told them we were new to Fullerton and had just bought…

    I rarely go on face book. I was lucky to see these beautful pictures of your growing
    family, It reminds me of your cousins when they were your kids ages. You have a beautiful family and I can see you both are doing a great job being parents.

    Love, Aunt Helen
