Dwell :: Spring Clean For Your Health
Image courtesy of Flickr As a mother, I know nothing is more important than the health of my family, so it’s imperative to prevent illness and injuries before they occur. We still have the guard rails up at the bottom of the stairs from when my daughter was a baby. Now we use it to keep our dinosaur dog from going upstairs! The American Osteopathic Association (AOA), which represents the nation’s more than 82,000 osteopathic physicians, or DOs, encourages us to set aside a few hours during one weekend this spring to take steps toward making our home a healthier place. I know we have old medicines we no longer…

Family :: Best Places to Visit in Southern California
My family moved to California when I was in kindergarten. Before that we lived in Austin, Texas but both my parents were from the Midwest and they told me it had always been their dream to live in sunny California. So when my dad was offered a job in Fresno, California, they jumped at the chance to realize their dream! We moved to Orange County while I was in second grade and I ended up living here through my college breaks. After attending college in Northern California, I travelled and lived abroad for about three years in Asia, but I came back home to Orange County in my late 20’s. My husband and I purchased our first (and present) home about…

Stuck On You :: Worlds Favorite Labeling and Gift Company
Can you believe it is almost summer? Time for summer camp and sleepovers at friends or grandma’s house. Recently, we were treated to a very cool overnight and sports bag from Stuck On You to try out. I really like this company’s products for several reasons. Their latest Penny Scallan Design lunchboxes are just perfect for school and camp because they are made with a material that makes it for easy clean-up. The inside material is insulated so it helps keep the food cool. And the sports bag is going to be perfect for sleepovers at her grandparents, soccer and any other occasion that calls for a duffle bag. There…

Spotlight On :: The Movie “Moms’ Night Out” Delivers!
“I laughed, I cried, and I found myself feeling affirmed. If you’re a mom, you need to see this movie!” ~ Jill Savage, CEO Hearts at Home, Author, No More Perfect Moms In early March I had a chance to preview Moms’ Night Out with a good friend at The Irvine Spectrum. I didn’t really know what to expect but within a few minutes of the beginning of the movie, my friend and I were laughing hysterically – and this continued on throughout the movie. Moms Night Out features four friends who decide they need to have a night out together. The plan is to get dressed up,…

The Amazon Kindle Fire HDX Tablet Makes a Perfect Gift
Image courtesy of xda developers Amazon recently released the Kindle Fire HDX 7.0 and 8.9 Tablets and we had a chance to review the new 8.9 tablet and I must say it was love at first sight. There are so many new features on their latest device that really makes it one powerhouse tablet! One of my favorite new additions is the front-facing HD camera. Now I can use it at conferences or when I am out-and-about – I can take pictures or videos and use them in posts or share with friends and family. For Mother’s Day, my husband promised a keyboard so that I can use it in place of…

Party Ideas :: Balloons Make Any Party That Much More Fun!
Balloons can make any type of party that much more fun and colorful! I think I love balloons as much as I love polka dots – both remind me of childhood and just bring a smile to my face. There are a ton of ideas on how to incorporate balloons into a birthday party, baby shower, or even surprise someone special with a box of balloons on their doorstep. I might be an adult now (and forever 28 years old) but I still love love balloons and would be totally thrilled to either get or give a box of balloons! At my daughter’s birthday parties they always play a part…
