Inspirational Mom :: Rachel Davis of YOU@the Center
A few months back I was asked to participate in a 100-day course from the fantastic ladies over at Enlist Moms. What I didn’t know at the time was how much it was going to change my life. That is pretty profound, but oh, so true. When they asked me to join Rachel Davis YOU@theCenter course I was feeling very overwhelmed with my life – between work, my family life, husband changing jobs, new books coming out, I really didn’t think I could take on another task. But something inside told me to give it a try and see what I might learn from this rather unique and powerful…

Tech :: Leap Into Gaming with LeapTV
Leap Frog has been the go-to company for many parents because their educational toys and games are really well made and designed. My daughter learned how to read with their LeapReader and we have used their games on several occasions. Recently, LeapFrog has leaped into gaming with their new LeapTV that teaches core skills across a variety of subjects including: reading, mathematics, science and problem solving. Designed for kids ages 3-8, the system uses a motion-sensing camera and controller that fits small hands. Audio instruction makes it simple for even the youngest kids to play solo or with a friend! Yesterday we hosted a LeapTV “Leap Into…

What’s Hot in Southern California :: Rancho Bernardo Inn
A few weeks back I had the chance to stay at the lovely Rancho Bernardo Resort Inn in San Diego for a night. I must say it is one of my favorite new places to stay! The resort is really laid-back yet has all the amenities you need – like a wonderful spa, amazing golf course, beautiful fountains throughout, outdoor fireplaces, and the food is quite good. After spending some time laying by the pool I came back to my room to find a plate filled with chocolate chip cookies and milk. Talk about great service. I felt so spoiled eating my cookie and drinking my milk but oh,…
