Inspirational Mom :: Linda Sadeghi of The CAMP and The LAB Anti-Mall
If you are local, you have probably visited The CAMP or The Lab Anti-Mall in Costa Mesa. I had heard about The Lab years ago from my friend who is pretty on top of trends and she and I would visit the shops there a couple times a month – pre-kids! But now with our kids in-tow, we have enjoyed lunch over there as well. I really like that both The CAMP and The LAB offer a variety of shops such as Urband Outfitters and some of the best restaurants in town! My favorite breakfast place, The Old Vine, is located at the backend of The CAMP and I…

Hearing Health Foundation On Path to Finding Cure for Hearing Loss
As a mom, you want what’s best for your child. But imagine seeing your child suffer from hearing loss, with no cure in sight and unable to comfort them. For many moms this is a real life struggle. In fact, in the US, three out of every 1,000 children are born deaf or hard-of-hearing. My own father battled with hearing loss most of his adult life. He started going deaf in his early twenties until it progressed to almost 90% hearing loss in one ear and 95% in the other ear. He was fortunate to be able to get the cochulear earplant surgery but he was still not able to…

PBS Kids Writers Contest Encourages Creative Writing
Many of you know that I am a children’s picture book author. I can even claim that I am an award-winning author as my first two books, Penelope the Purple Pirate and Gerry the Giraffe have both won awards. I mention this is because many people assume I majored in English since I write children’s books or in Journalism since I founded and write daily for dandelion moms. I actually studied Business Administration and Health Science in college and went on to study Human Nutrition at The University of Bridgeport. The reason I am writing about this is because I think it is important to stress that if you have…

Dwell :: Fabulous DIY Laundry Room Ideas
Image courtesy of Pinterest Tis the season for spring cleaning! Spring officially begins March 20th so let’s start decluttering and redecorating now. At least that was my thought process this past weekend as I am ready for the house to get into shape. I wanted to start with our laundry room because I am in there so much. Not sure how we end up with Mount Laundry every week with just four of us (my mother is staying with us at the moment) but we do go through so much laundry. I figured it was time to finish the job I started last year and create a laundry room that…

Our Rocky Mountain Family Adventure: Part II
Looking to send a postcard with a spectacular mountain range, a glacier, or wild animals on it? Then the town of Jasper, located in the heart of Canada’s Rocky Mountains, is the destination for you. Last summer we flew into Calgary and stuffed as much luggage as is humanly possible into a rental car. We strapped three children in the back seat (aged 14, 10, and 8) and headed northwest—256 miles to be exact. The drive along the way was an adventure in itself. Our first stop was in Banff. Our second stop en route to the town of Jasper was the Columbia Icefield. Located in Jasper National Park (one…
