The Importance of Celebrating National Reading Month
Start a routine that inspires them for life: This month is National Reading Month and schools and parents across the country are getting involved in promoting a love of reading in children. I love reading to my daughter and continue to do so even though she can read early chapter books. It is more than reading to her, we enjoy this downtime and pick out books to read together. Young children who read 20 minutes per day scored above the 90th percentile on standardized reading tests.* Take the challenge to read to your child each day, and create a love of reading to last a lifetime.

When I received the email that we were selected to host a Disney Side @Home Celebration Party it was like I was eight years old again! There is just something about all things Disney that brings out the big kid in me! We had originally planned to have the party mid-February but had to postpone due to that wonderful neck injury I had last month (post coming up on how I cut the healing time in half!). But we couldn’t have asked for better weather yesterday and…

The Langham Huntington Hotel is a Must-See Travel Destination
In January I attended the PBS Winter Press Tour and had the fortune to stay at the lovely Langham Huntington, Pasadena Hotel which is situated at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains. I always enjoy going to the PBS events because it reminds me how much I love their programming, but this Winter Tour was extra special because of the accommodations courtesy of The Langham Huntington, Pasadena Hotel. Driving through the gorgeous older Pasadena neighborhoods you are taken back in time. These neighborhoods were most likely built in the 1940’s and I can only imagine all the hustle and bustle of Hollywood during that time. To provide a visual,…
