Fashion :: Golden Globes 2014
Award season is upon us and it is a big deal in my house…for me. It is what football is to my husband. The Golden Globes are like the playoffs and the the Oscars are the Super bowl. My favorite part has to be the arrival of actors on the red carpet. I think I may even prefer it more than the actual award show. I am always so excited to see what my favorite designers have put together for the actors. The dresses they are wearing are not just any dresses. Some of them have been specifically created by the designer with that person in mind. They are usually…

Laura Wallis: Web Navigator Gal
I recently had the pleasure of connecting with Laura Wallis in an online networking group. We became acquainted and it was quickly evident that she was a wealth on knowledge about business, marketing, and the internet. She’s also friendly and super-relatable! I thought it only fair to introduce her to other working moms. How and why did you come to be the Web Navigator Gal? I worked for many years in corporate marketing- Disney, Mattel, Fox International, and Sony. I loved my work and traveled a great deal, but worked very long hours. When I became pregnant with my first child, I had everything set up to…

What’s Hot in Southern California :: The Hollywood Wax Museum
This past week I had a chance to visit the Hollywood Wax Museum that is located on Hollywood Boulevard and has been run by the same family since 1965. I grew up in Orange County but had not taken the time to visit the Hollywood Wax Museum in all my years! What a waste! My daughter, mother-in-law and I made a day out of it and really had so much fun! The drive up from Orange County was surprisingly hassle-free and we found parking easily next to the Hollywood Wax Museum. It is fun to play tourist for the day because you are exposed to sights you might…

DIY :: Fun Decor Ideas for Children’s Rooms
Decorating your children’s room can be so much fun! Especially if they join in and contribute with artwork that you can frame and include in their room. While pregnant, I must have looked at a ton of décor magazines (life before Pinterest) looking for ideas for her nursery. Thank goodness I came across the store and website Room & Board because they were offering some more modern ideas – such as polka dots (you can purchase the decals on Amazon), simple furniture and knitted dolls. I used their catalogue for ideas and went about sourcing a cheaper way to incorporate some of the into her room. You don’t have to break the bank decorating your…

Ask the Doctor :: Getting Healthy After The Holidays
Image courtesy of Flickr Ask the Doctor: Question: I’m not following my New Year’s ( healthy) resolutions. Any tips on how I can? January is a great time to cozy up on the sofa, with a warming tea, and reflect upon your last year. I’m not a fan of resolutions; however, taking a few moments to find ways to bring a healthier you, can be very rewarding. What made you feel the happiest and healthiest last year? I will ask myself: Did that kale smoothie make me feel more energized? Did it feel good to offer my Human Body Detectives books and apps for free? If yes, then I…

Things to Do When the Kids are Sick
Image courtesy of Flickr About a week before Christmas, my daughter and I caught that cold that is going around and were in bed for about two days. Of course, she recovered in no time and I was feeling bad for over a week. I sure wish I had her little immune system! We literally spent the two days in bed recovering watching movies. Thank goodness for Netflix and their huge array of movie options that is for sure! If you find yourself or your family sick in bed – here are is a list of movie options that Netflix put together for families to enjoy. Plus they provided us with some…
