Most of my posts usually have some sort of purpose but sometimes there are many ideas stirring in my head that I want to share. However, these topics have absolutely no connection to one another. So this is my week in random:
I was watching the Today Show recently and found out that Hello Kitty, the brand that I grew up with as a child is actually now in the market of selling wine. Have you seen this?
Yes, that’s right. The same Hello Kitty that I begged my mom to buy me every time we went to the mall. The name of the store was called Pandemonium which was about the size of a jail cell and every square foot of that place was full of Hello Kitty crap. You couldn’t even move in that space because it was so over stuffed with STUFF. I would annoy my mother every single time we went to the mall because I just HAD to get my Hello Kitty fill. Basically, what I lived on as a kid with all of the pens, stickers, albums and glitter – things I’ll probably be buying for my own daughter soon – is now selling wine. Honestly, I’m still not sure what to make of it all. Hello Kitty. Wine. Really?
Monday was one of the most amazing days of my bloggy life. I was the featured blogger at SITS and the comment love that poured in still overwhelms me. I am in awe. It will take me quite some time to get to those 300+ fabulous blogs that shared some love with me. But if you found me through SITS and have returned to Theta Mom again, I heart you!
Spring is finally here. And you know what that means? Life is so much easier getting the kids ready in the morning. I don’t have to dress the kids in the twenty pounds of winter gear or warm up the car. I don’t have to wipe my daughter’s nose every five seconds. I can actually get outside with the kids and not go so stir crazy in the house. (I’ll just go crazy outside). Spring fashion, cute shoes, pretty flowers, it’s all good…but the #1 reason I love Spring? It’s when we fire up the grill.
Because warmer weather + hubby + grill = NO cooking for Theta Mom. And that my friends, is priceless.
And I cannot believe it’s April already because it feels like it was just New Year’s Day! Spring Break has officially arrived and the holiday is here which means my son is home from pre-school all next week. Every day next week. On second thought, that Hello Kitty wine isn’t sounding all that bad now…
Finally, to the BEST readers and followers in the blogosphere – wishing you and yours a safe and wonderful holiday!
That is crazy Hello Kitty Wine? I love spring I can’t wait till My hubs starts grilling again.
I know, it’s crazy about that wine, right? And I so heart my grill! 😉
Hey! Thank you so much for the comment. I am so flattered you remembered me from Blogging It Out. With all your followers I do not know how you keep it all together.

Holy crap. My daughter LOVES Hello Kitty. I think they should hand out complimentary cups of wine to the mothers who get dragged in those stores..And I have all three kids every day this week during break – I feel your pain!

Ok, you got me – three kids – you win! Maybe we should pass each other the Hello Kitty wine next week! 😉
Really?! Hello Kitty wine?! Who is this for?

My daughter is too young to like Hello Kitty, but I’m sure she will soon! And thanks so much about the kind words about Theta Mom!
Haha, I totally hear you on spring making life easier- it does on teachers too, much less gloves to put on, coats to zip, etc. Plus, I just find kids are much easier to handle when we can go outside, run around and scream for awhile
That’s HILARIOUS about Hello Kitty and WINE…I wonder if they are trying to market to those of us who liked Hello Kitty as a kid but are now old enough to drink…not too sure about this strategy though…

Ugh, when I was a teacher, I remember those days all too well! 😉
Love the grill time too!…. we just moved, the hubby is yet to buy the new and improved grill a new house requires… I’m sending him to home depot now… are they open on Easter??

Oh yeah girl, be sure to get that grill! LOL
Hope you had a great weekend!
This is the first I am hearing about the hello kitty wine! I have to try it!!!
I don’t know what we would do without our grill. We use it year round.. at least once a week.
.-= Tiffany´s last blog ..What Big Ears You Have… =-.
Oooh Tiffany, I have to think about how I could make that work – grilling all year round. Sounds AWESOME!
Spring time is amazing. We are all in much better moods when we can walk out the door and play in the yard or go for a walk.
And I agree with the grill. My husband tried to teach me a few years ago, but I conveniently “forgot” all I knew when I had children (and gained a great hiatus from the kitchen!).
.-= Kim´s last blog ..Starve a Fever, But Fill Up On Love =-.
I totally agree. Good weather is like an instant good mood!
I don’t know why we don’t use our grill year-round. We are blessed with the Socal weather and have no excuses! Funny though, that now that it is Spring, I thought the same thing…whoo hoo BBQ season is here!
Seriously, Hello Kitty wine? I had to go check it out….Their tagline for the wine product is “Our favorite girl has grown up”, which is done intentionally to indicate that Hello Kitty, in her 35 years of existence, has crossed over from being a children’s brand to being a brand for children and adults alike. <—-seriously? for children AND adults alike. What's next? Barbie Bacardi? I'm just saying.
Hope you had a great holiday!

Shari –
Barbie Bacardi – I think you are onto something! lol
Thanks, my holiday was great – hope you had a nice weekend!
Man, I’m sorry I missed your SITS day I feel like a jerk now
But I went back and read your post and BOY I thought I got a lot of comments!! You beat me for sure!! haha.
And hello kitty wine!? That’s a little messed up! But I don’t drink wine, nor do I like Hello Kitty so I guess it’s not a HUGE deal to me right now… But you’d better believe if my little girl likes it I may have a problem! haha
And thanks for stopping by my blog for my SITS day! I’m slowly making my way through all of the commenters. You really make my day special! And I’m glad it brought me here!

Isn’t that the best when we don’t have to cook? And thanks for the sweet comment about my little girl
Heehee….I just stumbled upon that Hello Kitty wine/champagne too. I have no idea how it tastes, but it’s kind of adorable. (Hmm, is that right? Should booze be adorable??)
I just discovered your blog and it looks like a ton of fun. I’m so glad I found you. And congrats on your SITS feature! Yay!!

Thanks so much Alix! Look forward to blogging with you.
Hi Heather! I hope you had a great Easter weekend. I can’t believe how time is flying by either. And isn’t skipping coats and snowpants the best? Love. It.
Do they make that Hello Kitty wine in a Shiraz? If so, I’m definitely going to buy me some. 😉

Hello Kitty Wine! Intrigued and mystified. I do want to go to the Hello Kitty Mansion though! Hope you had a good SITS Day! I do not know how you keep up…with my blog growing, I hardly have time to visit everyone. I hardly ever make it over here boo-hoo!
