Top 5 OC Housewife Myths

Here are the top 5 OC Housewife myths (in no particular order). If you watch Bravo's OC Housewives you know exactly what I am talking about. If not, you may be mildly entertained.

1. We wear fake eyelashes to the gym- I'm lucky if I wear mascara before 2 o'clock in the afternoon let alone think of putting on fake eyelashes.

2. We go to the gym, everyday, for hours- My current gym is the living room and were lucky if that happens 3 days a week. I would really like to go to the gym again but I don't have a nanny (see myth #3) and don't want to put a 4 month old in day care. I'll live with my home work outs and walks for now.

3. We all have baby nurses, nannies and housekeepers- Let's see, who woke up in the middle of the night to feed the baby? ME Who takes care of the baby during the day? ME Who cleans the house? ME....and I really wouldn't have it any other way (well maybe except the cleaning).

4. We take limos to the airport- Nope, most of us drive ourselves and leave our car in uncovered long term parking that is miles from the airport just so we can save a buck.

5. We all have plastic surgery and/or get botox injections regularly- You do see a fair share of face lifts and silicon walking around but the majority of us have laugh lines and wrinkles. I like them and think it shows a little character.

There are a handful of people that do live the lifestyle portrayed on T.V. but I wouldn't trade my life for any one of theirs.

It's Been a Long Time.....

Well, I think it has been just about two years since my last post and boy has a lot changed around the Sanden household. We welcomed our first child, Morgan Grace on December 26, 2010. She has been such a wonderful addition to our family and brings us such joy. With the welcoming of our daughter, I no longer work for KPMG and have become a full time stay at home mom. I am loving every minute of it and am so lucky Drew has given me the opportunity to stay home. Hopefully I can blog more frequently to document our ever changing and always exciting life!

Chalk Art

I admit that every Saturday morning I scan the local section of the newspaper for any exciting events or things that Drew and I can go to that weekend. Sometimes they are totally lame, and other times we luck out. This past weekend there was a Chalk Art festival fund raiser in Mission Viejo. The artists were amazing, and everything was drawn on the asphalt completley with chalk. Here are a couple of my favorites. Sadly, my nickname was "Scar" when I was little, at least that is what my sister's always called me.

Easter 2009

We had a wonderful Easter this past Sunday. A couple of college friends were down from Northern California, so it was great to spend some time catching up. On Sunday we had an amazing church service, and followed it up with a great brunch at my Aunt's house.

The Wonderful Group Shot

This past weekend we went kayaking with with Drew's family in Newport. It was such a nice day and it was nice to be outside. Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to be in the sun much, needless to say I got a little burned.

I think the seals took over this boat.

Birthday Weekend

This last Saturday was my 24th birthday. We had a great dinner at Pelican Hill on Friday night, and a great family dinner on Saturday. It was a great birthday, and a wonderful weekend.

We are definitely enjoying our married life, it just being the two of us. We will eventually have kids (at least a couple years away), but this web-site I came about was too good to pass up. We put in both of our pictures, and this is what our little girl is going to look like. Pretty funny.
