Garden :: 10 Unique Container Gardening Ideas
Yesterday my daughter and I visited our local nursery and I was inspired to work on my back patio this spring. We don’t have a large area so the following are great ideas for small spaces. It is probably a good thing since I don’t have a ton of extra time like most moms – but I do get a lot of pleasure working in the garden and love to see when it is all cleaned up and looking good! Now if I can just get my (almost) one year old 110+ puppy to not eat the new flowers we planted! Fabric Covered Planters = Divine! Hands down…

Recipes :: Adorable Spring-Inspired Snacks and Lunches
Now is the perfect time of year for a picnic in the park with the family or if weather in your neck of the woods won’t permit that – try a picnic in your living room! My daughter loves when I make her fun lunches and I wanted to find some ideas to try out over spring break. There are so many adorable bento lunch ideas but I am not that gifted! So I found ideas via Pinterest that are doable for folk like me – something fun but won’t take all day to make. A Birdhouse: Now this is my kind of lunch! The Cookie Cutter…

Fabulous DIY Springtime Crafts
Spring officially started last week and I am so happy to see the sun out and birds chirping! Springtime is a time of new beginnings. We have been working on our house, slowly de-cluttering the random stuff that somehow manages to find its way onto my counters and kitchen table!

My daughter starts spring break tomorrow afternoon and we are working on our Things To Do List this weekend. Here are some fun crafts you can do with the kids while on break that would look great…

Reflections :: Cultivating Kairos
Image courtesy of Catalina Island Chamber of Commerce My mother came from the east coast over the weekend for a short but full trip, and the next thing I knew? We spent the weekend drenched in kairos. We took the ferry to Catalina, and someplace offshore, in the middle of the bumping and rolling sea, living kicked in. Kairos, according to Wiki, is an ancient Greek word meaning the right or opportune moment. To really understand it though, we need to consider the idea of kairos next to an idea or word that describes the way we are used to experiencing life. This word is chronos, which means time. Chronos,…

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…
