Hungarian Housewife

Thanks for the Memories

December 2, 2012 By Jennifer 2 Comments

Don’t worry… I’m not going anywhere… this is a sports post. We spent Saturday afternoon at the Home Depot Center for the 2012 MLS Cup where we watched the LA Galaxy take on the Houston Dynamo. David scored some awesome seats in the third row and we had an absolute blast. There is nothing quite like watching a professional soccer match, not to mention a championship; we may not be the English Premier League, but the MLS is growing (there were tons of celebrities at the game like Victoria Beckham, Ryan Seacrest, Jeremy Piven, Dwight Howard, Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash and BJ’s favorite actor, Gerard Butler). The game was bittersweet because it marked the end of the Beckham era in LA. Not only that, it was the last time we’ll see David Beckham, Landon Donovan and Robbie Keane on the same team. But let me tell you, they went out with a bang, beating the Dynamo 3-1. What made the game especially memorable was the fact that I got to watch it with my oldest son who is a diehard soccer fan (it’s in his blood… his daddy is Hungarian and I have yet to meet a Hungarian that doesn’t love soccer… and his mommy played soccer in high school… how could he not love the game?) and he was over the moon to see his three favorite soccer players (Beckham, Donovan and Keane… in that order). It was also entertaining to see all of the farewell Beckham shirts (my favorites were the ones that read, “Beckham, take me with you” and “I hate to see you go but I love to watch you leave”). One thing is for sure… Stateside soccer is more popular today than it was before David Beckham joined the Galaxy, and more people watching soccer is always a good thing. So, Mr. Beckham… So long, and thank you for the memories.

    […] We are huge LA Galaxy fans and it was awesome to see them win the championship again (you can see this post on the last time we went to the final). The last time we went to the MLS Cup it was a big day […]

This time of year, the Santa Ana winds in LA can b This time of year, the Santa Ana winds in LA can be brutal on your skin. Nothing highlights fine lines and wrinkles quite like dry skin, so I was intrigued when @influenster sent me this @ponds Rejuveness Advanced Hydrating Night Cream to test and review. Pond’s has over 150 years experience in the skincare game and I had so many friends growing up that had mothers and grandmothers who were completely devoted to the brand. The cream is ultra hydrating and has a delightfully fresh scent and I’ve found it to be nice addition to my skin care routine during these dry autumn months. Plus, with an $8 price tag, it won’t break the bank.

I am so glad that he did. I finished it this morning, and it was such a timely and eye opening read. I highly recommend it.
