(More)About this blog: I'm a wife, stay-at-home mom, home cook, marathon runner, and PhD. I recently moved to the Silicon Valley after completing my PhD in Social Psychology and becoming a mother one month apart. Before that, I ran seven marathons including Chicago and Boston. Exercise is an integral part of my life. I hope to one day go back to long distance running and tackle the New York City Marathon. Right now I run after my one year old son. Although I am a stay-at-home mom, we are rarely "at home." My mom also stayed at home with my brother and me. She warned me that, although rewarding, it can be isolating. So, with her help, I learned the importance of getting out into the community and meeting other mothers. On the rare occasion when I am at home and have a hand or two free, I squeeze in time to scrapbook. As a new mom, many challenges are thrown my way. I hope my opinions, triumphs, and struggles help experienced parents reminisce, new parents cope, and parents-to-be get an honest glimpse of what the first years of motherhood can entail.

With all of the rain in the forecast, I wasn’t sure if we would do our yearly stroll down
Christmas Tree Lane. We love walking down Fulton and admiring all of the decorations, but it is more challenging to keep three kids happy when they are wet, cold and tired. Maybe this is the year to try driving down the street rather than walking.
A few days ago I stumbled upon
Candy Cane Lane in Redwood City.
I had never heard of this block, but I saw a car turn down Dewey Street and I couldn’t help but notice the bright lights and amazing decorations.
We turned around and all enjoyed driving slowly down the road. Tonight we went back and strolled down the street. It was short, beautifully decorated, and a wonderful way to spend time together with the kids.
What are your favorite holiday light displays in the area?
