I posted last week looking for ideas on great teacher gift ideas. Because we got some great suggestions on our comments and Facebook page, I wanted to compile and share them with you!

My First Horseback Riding Lesson at Ivy Gate Farm [Video]
Last week I checked off one of one of my Life List things. Life List = Bucket List but I prefer it as I think it sounds a little more uplifting, don’t you?! And one of my Life List things was to take a horseback riding lesson.
(Side note: I had bad experience on a horse one time on the beach in Ensenada when I was about 19 so I hadn’t been back in the saddle since and had always wanted to tackle this fear by taking a lesson the RIGHT WAY!)
And there is no better place in Orange County to do so than Ivy Gate Farm in San Juan Capistrano. Ivy Gate Farm is a hunter / jumper training facility in OC and trains people of all levels from children up to adults, beginner (like me) up to people that go to the top horse shows. I wrote about Ivy Gate HERE if you want more info on the amazing facility.
And it was completely exhilarating. I am also afraid it might be a tad addicting. My experience is outlined in the short video above. Hope you enjoy!

Ready, set – dress! The Wardrobe Code
Last Thanksgiving weekend, we shipped the kids off to stay with their grandparents for two nights and my husband and I did a major garage clean out and I worked on cleaning up my office. I filled 8 trash bags with JUNK that was cluttering up my office, and since that project I have been in a major “purge and organize” mode.
One of my 2012 goals was to tackle my closet. For some reason, this is the hardest project for me as I tend to hold on to things for “maybe someday I will wear it” reasons. I don’t know about you, but in the last 6 years and 2 pregnancies, my wardrobe has been through the wringer as I have been about a gazillion different sizes, which makes it so hard!!
So when I met Nicole Longstreath of www.TheWardrobeCode.com and learned more about her services, I thought it would be an awesome blog feature as I am sure I am not the only mom needing help in this arena!
