Creating the Ultimate Man Cave
We have dreamed, well, at least I have, of creating our garage into an extra room in the house with bean bags, old-school arcade games like PacMan and Galaga and a game station. I know my husband would love to have a putting green put in there as well! Best Buy has come up with some really cool ideas for creating the ultimate Man Cave. It sounds so prehistoric Man Cave and one can’t help but have visions of a man in animal skins carrying a bone – but you know your modern guy would love to have his own space to relax in and do as he pleases. Whether he…

The Sphero SPRK Edition Robot Changes the Way Kids Learn
Learning Today: It never ceases to amaze me when I see children working on computers and playing games on smart devices who tend to know their way around these devices better than their parents. To be fair, many of us didn’t grow up with computers and smart phones have only been out about ten years now. I think it is just so fantastic though that our kids have these devices at their fingertips because it brings learning to a whole new level.

What’s Hot in Southern California :: Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse
Have I mentioned that I was a vegetarian for many years before I became pregnant with my daughter? Well, that all changed about 9 weeks into the pregnancy. I was seriously having dreams about steak and hamburgers and it got to the point where I called my husband from a steakhouse one night as he was leaving work. My “come meet me for dinner at the bar I am about to order a steak” caught him a bit off-guard to say the least! Apparently, my little Kate was needing some protein! The entire pregnancy was like that and one of our absolute favorite steakhouses to go to is Flemings Prime…

4 Superfood Acai Bowl Recipes
Last week my daughter and I tried out a new restaurant called Vitality Bowls that features Acai bowls filled with a variety of different acai blends and toppings. We decided to try out the Warrior Bowl I think mostly because my daughter liked the name and the employee told me it was the least sweet of the bunch. I have to tell you we both fell in love on the first bite! It was so refreshing and is a cross between a smoothie and yogurt. Add on top some healthy granola, fruit of choice and nuts. There is quite a bit of natural sugar in these bowls so if…

Health :: Treating Lice without Toxic Chemicals
For the past two years there has been pretty big breakout of lice going on at my daughter’s school. There is such the stigma about lice and most people are pretty freaked out if they find out their kids have it. It is such a hassle once your child gets lice and I heard from a friend of mine that they had to toss out many of their daughter’s toys, some clothes and bed linens while she was getting treated for lice. Another friend cut off all of her son’s hair (he had the long do going on) because he caught some at school and she took the drastic measure of…
