Inspirational Mom :: Jackie Shapiro of French Bull
Back in the early 2000’s, my very stylish girlfriend introduced me to the French Bull line. I fell in love with her polka dot round platter she was using at a dinner party. I was sold right then and there! I was fortunate to find the same multidot platter at a cute little boutique in Laguna Beach and she gave me this one for a Christmas present. I use it every night to put our fruit on for dinner and at pretty much every party we host. The products are really durable and I have had mine for years! The French Bull line is just so…

Tech :: The National PTA and LifeLock #ShareAwesome Campaign
Image courtesy of Flickr Sometimes I think about how much the world has changed in just the past five years. My daughter was about two years old when the first iPhone came out and boy did that open up our world! I mean we now had at our fingertips a computer that allowed us to check our emails, Twitter and Facebook pages at any time of the day and Google just about anything we might want to know, Yelp where to eat, etc., etc.! Whereas before I had to wait to come home and check my laptop. I do sometimes think that life has sped up a bit because of this ability to…
