    What’s Hot in Southern California :: Rolling Greens Nursery

    July 23, 2013 /

        The Beauty of the Succulent:   Many of you might know that I absolutely love succulents.  I love how easy they are to take care of and how they fit perfectly with a modern décor.  Oh, and did I mention they are so easy to care for?  One year, I gave my black-thumb girlfriend a pot filled with beautiful succulents for her birthday and she still has them.  She who has proclaimed to have not an ounce of a green thumb!  I came across Rolling Greens nursery while looking at the SoCo Facebook page and saw they offers classes for adults and kids!  I know firsthand how much kids…

    Instagram of the Week :: Enjoying Beauty in the Simple Things

    July 21, 2013 /

      One of my favorite hobbies before I had my daughter, would be to scour local estate sales looking for abstract art, pottery, and unusual artifacts.  And I have to say I have a pretty good eye for finding things that everyone else passed over. But really it comes down to choosing things I really love and enjoy looking at.  I am not thinking about whether  I found the piece of artwork worth a million dollars like what you see on those antique shows (though that would be nice), but finding pieces I truly appreciate.  There was this cool looking abstract black and white rather large painting that reminded me of a Jackson Pollock painting (no such luck) but…

    Plan :: Some Bookkeeping Tips

    July 18, 2013 /

    Some of My Favorite Bookkeeping Tips ·        KEEP THINGS SEPARATE o   Keep your business and personal records and transactions separate from one another.  You should have separate bank accounts and credit cards for your business and personal use.  Purchases that are related to your business should be made with a business credit card or with a business checking debit card.  This makes it a lot easier for your bookkeeper and tax preparer to easily determine expense categories. ·        KEEP GOOD RECORDS o   Keep and file all of your receipts, invoices, bank and credit card statements and any other documents pertaining to your business.  Make sure to use a system that…

    Inspirational Mom :: Randi Zuckerberg of Zuckerberg Media

    July 17, 2013 /

      While on a family trip in Tahoe this year, I received an email from the ladies over at Zuckerberg Media who wanted to see if I would like to collaborate together on some projects.  I remember looking through the company website and reading about the woman behind the company, Randi Zuckerberg, and was amazed at how much she has done and accomplished.  She was one of the early executives at Facebook and nominated for an Emmy Award in 2011. There are superwomen like her out there and I always find them inspiring.  It really comes down to doing what you want to do with your life, and not letting…
