What’s Hot in Southern California :: Organic Designs by Aggelige
There is just something so wonderful about succulents. I love how they fit in almost any type of décor style you might have. A few weeks ago we ran into Aggelige Spanos, the owner of Organic Designs by Aggelige and is just about the cutest shop around located at The Camp in Costa Mesa. Her shop is set up in an old school mobile home filled with an array of succulents. She offers a huge selection of plants that make the perfect gift! We chose this gorgeous terrarium that has a crystal, feathers and rocks that she collects from her nature walks. And for Valentine’s Day – think about giving a live…

Tech :: CordCruncher Earbud Headphones
I recently had the opportunity to try out a pair of CordCruncher Earbud Headphones (the moniker being they “do not TANGLE”)! I have never been so excited in my life about ear bud headphones. I am the world’s worst and I strongly animate the word WORST when it comes to getting cords for my headphones into a tangled mess – a hot tangled mess I should add. When my *pink* CordCruncher Earbud Headphones arrived I had this huge smile on my face. It was like someone had just given me tickets to a theme-park with a gift card!

The Balancing Act of A Work At Home Mom
I am a Work-At-Home-Mom (WAHM). Just being a Stay-At-Home-Mom is a tremendous job, but now that I’ve thrown “Work” into the mix, it’s become an even more tangled web of tightropes to navigate. Some days the chores don’t get done, and sometimes the kids watch a little more television than I’d like, but I know that eventually, we will reap rewards from my work that will enable us to have a fuller, more adventurous life. I started working from home shortly after the birth of my son. I was laid off from my job at a publishing company while I was on maternity, which was really a blessing, as I…
