In Awe of Molly: Parenting a Creative Child
I am in sheer and utter awe of my daughter, Molly. How did one shy, sweet girl turn into such a creative force and passionate young woman? A woman I admire because she’s living “all-in” with unstoppable determination and moxie. And she’s doing it through the quiet power of an introvert. I guess it should come as no surprise because growing up she always remained true to who she was, even when there was pressure from other girls to conform…even when she was so lonely from being left out or unheard. From a very young age, Molly has had a depth of character beyond her years. She has the ability…

Easy Tips for Getting Your Pantry Organized
I have been on a mission to get our home decluttered and organized. I would almost say it is bordering on an obsession! When I have a couple hours, you can usually find me going through each room in the house getting rid of stuff we no longer: use, need or want. Two weekends ago I cleared out the Master Bedroom sink area and it felt so good. Three trash bags later I felt so great! Now, I am looking to get our pantry organized and will share pictures once it is done but went on a hunt to find some ideas to try out. Here are some of my…

PBS Kids READY JET GO! Premieres February 15th
Last year at the PBS annual meeting we learned about a new series, READY JET GO! that focuses on astronomy, technology, scientific exploration, innovation and invention. The show premieres this Monday, February 15 on PBS stations nationwide. Seen through the eyes of Jet Propulsion and his family, we see what it is like to be an alien from outer space, the whole while learning about our solar system, how it affects our planet and features live-action interstitials with Jet Propulsion Laboratory astrophysicist Dr. Amy Mainzer, who is also a science curriculum consultant for the series.

Project Kindness :: Homelessness in America
Recently, I have been driving into Los Angeles a few times a month for work. When I am driving through Beverly Hills (ooh la la) or Downtown Los Angeles, I see several homeless people standing near the embankment before the freeway entrance asking for help. Since I am notorious for never carrying cash on me, I always feel bad that I don’t have anything to give them. I have spoken with my daughter about how we don’t know what they have had to face or overcome in their lives, so it is best to help them whenever we can. She is so sweet and seems to understand the concept of giving back as she will always…

Parenting :: Creating Family Adventures
A year ahead for the family is all about taking on new adventures. If 2015 is any indication, they could be good, bad or just plain hysterical. Our family has taken a few adventures that have definitely created some lifelong memories. We tend to take day-adventures and one of our favorites that we laugh about all the time is the day we brought our big German Shepherd mix to the dog beach in Huntington. He was so excited he could barely contain himself! In fact, he thought it was a good idea to eat all the sand he could find, run in the water after every dog he came across,…
