Tuesday Tunes ~ Loretta Lynn’s “One’s On The Way”

April 24, 2012 By Teresa 5 Comments

Sunday night we were driving home from San Diego and the radio station was playing old country music. I never really liked old country music since it sounded so twangy and this song is no exception. But, after listening to this song for the first time, I had to grab my phone and read the lyrics and find out if there was a YouTube video. Sure enough, there was! I was surprised to find this video since this song came out in 1972. I was only 3 years old!

For some reason this twangy song of Loretta Lynn’s reminds me of MamaDweeb! I have no idea why! Probably because she has the cutest kids in Kansas!

We have some party hats over here for you to put on and you can grab some confetti to throw around. This is our third time participating in 5 Minutes for Moms The Ultimate Blog Party and I am so excited to be doing it again!

My name is Teresa and my daughter’s name is Holly.

We live in Orange County, California. Holly is graduating from high school this year and going to college close to home so I am thrilled to pieces about that.

We love to travel. You can see some of the places that we have visited here. We have been from the Dole Plantation in Hawaii to the Chuck’s D Bar-b-Que Ranch in Durango, Colorado to A Hole in the Rock in Moab Utah.

We love living in Orange County.

Holly spent a lot of time compiling and updating this list the last five years so we hope that it can be helpful to you.

Spring has arrived at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel!

The hand-painted giant 8-foot Easter Eggs arrived today in the front lawn of The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel in Dana Point, California. In 2008 California-native wildlife artist Chris Hoy captured the attention of Geoff Young and was asked to paint the eight foot Easter Eggs especially for The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel!

You can grab your camera and dress up your children in their Easter Sunday best clothing and head on down to South Orange County. The Giant Easter Eggs are located right in front of the entrance to The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel off of Pacific Coast Highway in Dana Point. These beautiful eggs will be here all week and make a perfect unique backdrop for those precious Easter family pictures.

Update: Parking Instructions ~ If you are just coming to take pictures, you can utilize Salt Creek Beach Parking Lot located just across the street from the main entrance. Its $1/hour to park there. If you will be enjoying lunch, etc. at the resort you can get valet parking validated and reduced to $5.
