Bitdefender BOX for Your Home Security Protection
Consumer security is constantly changing. What does that mean for your devices and not just your PC or MAC. I’m talking about everything: phones, computers, iDevices, Android products, even your gaming system (think PlayStation or others that use wi-fi), even your household products or your digital streaming device (Roku for example). Home security should be something you are thinking about and wanting to make secure. A top priority. With your computer you most likely use software (antivirus/malware). Scary times. A new product is looking to change and revolutionize this and the way you think about it. It’s like a security solution for the “Internet of Things”. There are so many…

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…

The Art of Letting Go
Yesterday I was reminded of what a tough job parents have and knowing when to hold our kids tight and knowing when to let them try new things. On the way back from visiting my brother in San Clemente we drove up the coast and stopped off at a beach that we use to spend a lot of time at when my husband and I were dating. My parents had rented a gorgeous home along the coast in Laguna Beach years ago and when I came back from living in Japan I stayed with them for a couple months. My husband and I have been good friends since high school…
