Slow-cooker Shredded Chicken Tacos
To celebrate Cinco de Mayo this past weekend we went in search of the easiest taco recipe we could find. We didn’t want to spend too much time in the kitchen when we could hang out by the pool right?! And let me tell you – this is not only the easiest slow-cooker recipe you will find but seriously one of the best! My husband joked that he was doing manual labor by having to scoop out the measuring spoon from the spice jars but seriously if you are in need a meal you can just toss in the crock pot and head out the door, you’ve found a good…

Interview with the cast and filmmakers of Tully
I’ve been a big fan of Charlize Theron for quite some time now so when I was asked to be part of the press junket for Tully of course I was thrilled I’d be in the same room as this talented actress. I mean my new hairdo was inspired by her last movie Atomic Blonde (though I didn’t get to tell her that I hope she didn’t think I was some crazy mom blogger). Kidding aside, I really enjoyed interviewing the cast and filmmakers of this rather touching movie. If you are a mom – you can’t help but be touched by the humanness of the story. Diablo Cody and…

Hidden Gems in Your Local Community :: Irvine
One of the features I love about the area we live in is the diverse restaurants that are at every corner. From Thai or Korean food to Indian food, there is a huge selection of dishes available to try out and when I find a gem of a place I love to tell you all about it! I have to say my new favorite places to visit are two family-owned restaurants. From the baked fresh breads and pastries at Ye Wool Bakery to the delicious fish noodle stew and chicken wings at Chun Ha Jjambbong / Two Ddak Two Dkak, these two business owners strive to provide only the…

Why Manda Mosher’s ‘Cold Cold Love’ Warms Our Hearts
Manda Mosher is a trend setter when it comes to music and the empowering impact it can make. Manda is a singer, songwriter and one half of the Americana duo CALICO The Band. You’d think she came straight out of Nashville but Manda and the band’s roots are strictly Southern California. In fact, CALICO stands for “California Country” and the music is fresh, vibrant, and real. It’s no surprise that one of Manda’s songs was chosen for Magnolia Pictures ‘Please Stand By,’ a film starring Dakota Fanning, Toni Collette, Alice Eve and Patton Oswald. It’s rare to find a film like Please Stand By, a coming-of-age story about a creative…

Charlize Theron in Tully will pull at your heartstrings – out in theaters May 4th.
Two weeks ago I was invited to a “Moms Night Out” party hosted by Refinery 29 and Focus Features and early screening of Tully – a new comedy from Academy Award®-nominated director Jason Reitman (“Up in the Air”) and Academy Award®-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody (“Juno”). Marlo (Academy Award® winner Charlize Theron) by Focus Features. Charlize plays a mother of three including a newborn and is gifted a night nanny by her brother (Mark Duplass). Hesitant to the extravagance at first, Marlo comes to form a unique bond with the thoughtful, surprising, and sometimes challenging young nanny named Tully (Mackenzie Davis). This is the premise of the movie but oh boy, is it a…
