Oma's Review:

To be honest, when Oma first listened to the songs, she wasn’t too impressed. However, after re-evaluating the goal of the album – I have to admit that the tunes left me feeling very relaxed and peaceful.

As a person who usually conducts her writing assignments with the television on as background noise - Greatest Naps, Jammy Jams Vol 2 has proven to be a creative substitute.

Oma cannot wait to introduce this music to Reef Indy!  This Oma (Grandmother) is interested in observing how the calming compositions affect her kleinzoon (Grandson).

Reef Indy's First Vacation

Reef is almost three months old now and has worked hard at acclimating to his brand new world outside his mommy’s uterus (womb). After a successful Thanksgiving at Auntie Rose and Uncle Dave’s, which included a well-timed nap during Thanksgiving dinner, Reef Indy deserved a vacation.

Love K1 Speed


Founded in 2003 in Carlsbad, California, K1 Speed now boost of being the premier karting company in America. Indoor karting has grown into a large industry over the last several years, not only within California, but across the nation. K1 Speed was one of the first companies to bring electric karts and indoor go kart tracks to Southern California, and they have witnessed an explosion in the market.

“The premise behind the creation of K1 Speed was to offer enthusiasts and amateurs alike an authentic and genuine racing experience in a safe, comfortable, accessible and perhaps most importantly, unique environment. Utilizing advanced European electric karts and indoor asphalt tracks, K1 Speed quickly developed a reputation as being fun and exciting, and our growth has been continuous since we first opened our doors. (from their website)”

Since Reef Indy’s cousin, Sofia surpassed the 48” height requirement, Uncle Moses decided it was time for her first trip to K-1 Speed. Sofia had driven a go-kart before; however, this would be the first time she took to the track with fellow racers!

As you can witness from the photos below Ms. Sofia loved her first visit to K1 Speed!

Reef Meets Aunties and Uncle

The Importance of Aunts and Uncles.


It's not easy being a kid in today's world. As youngsters grow up, they may be unwilling to turn to their parents as they navigate the minefield of adolescence, especially if they think Mom or Dad will react angrily if they reveal something upsetting. Aunts and Uncles can be adults who can bring stability, a new set of life experience and an abundance of love to a child's life. 

Luckily, Reef Indy has a big family filled with Aunts and Uncles who will nurture and spoil him!
