      Look! Mom, there is a YouTuber!  Those were the words straight from my 10 year old who could probably name every well-known YouTuber out there.  I can tell you attending the 6th Annual Streamy Awards Red Carpet and Nominee Awards Party at the YouTube Space in Los Angeles last Saturday night was the night of her life!  The Streamy Awards was created by Executive Producers Drew Baldwin (See interview below), Brady Brim-DeForest and Marc Hustvedt of Tubefilter and Joshua Cohen and Jamison Tilsner of Tilzy.tv.   The Streamy Awards are presented annually by Dick Clark Productions and Tubefilter to recognize and honor excellence in online video, including directing, acting,…

    The Fiona Drink: Inspired by Tim Burton’s Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children

    September 30, 2016 /

    After seeing an early screening of Tim Burton’s newest movie Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children we were inspired to create a drink that Tim Burton fans could enjoy! Be sure to check out our review of this awesome and peculiar movie here out in theaters September 30th. Following is a delicious and awe-inspiring drink our friend and talented bartender, Kevin Feldman, created after Fiona, the feisty peculiar child with wild red head that can control and grow plants quickly. Here is what he has to say about his inspiration in creating The Fiona: As the watermelon/sage ice cube melts in this herbal smoky cocktail, the powers (ability to control plants) of a…

    Family Planning :: Deciphering Automobile Insurance

    September 30, 2016 /

    Deciphering Automobile Insurance Simply put, if you own or lease a vehicle, you need auto insurance. Required by law in most states, it is a monthly expense that you may not ever need, but if you do, you will be very glad that you have it. Depending on your policy, your vehicle may be covered in the event of a collision, theft, or other damaging event. If you or someone else is injured as a result of a vehicular accident, a good insurance policy will pay a predetermined amount to help cover medical bills and lost wages. So, now you know why you need auto insurance, but do you know what…

    Send the Perfect Care Package to Your College Student!

    September 28, 2016 /

      During my first year in college, my parents sent me a couple care-packages throughout the year and I still remember how exciting it was to get something from home.  Though our kids don’t like to show they are anxious about heading off on their own, I know that I was pretty nervous watching my dad walk into our small-town airport (I went to Chico State and the airport was teeny tiny back in the day) and head up the ramp onto the plane.  I remember thinking “now what?!” I was on my own and didn’t know anyone.  Luckily, I became fast friends with my dorm roommates but being out on…
