Reduce Stress and Reconnect with your Kids
Winter break was a welcome treat for me and my family. My kids and I needed it. Badly. Like many other parents, I spend most days doing schoolwork, shuttling kids around to activities, running errands and trying to keep up with the chores. When we started homeschooling last year, I thought we would be less pressed for time. That just isn’t the case. Before Winter break I found myself struggling to keep up. I was irritable and anxious. My kids were seeing a lot of “Grouchy Mommy”. Over the break I realized that I needed to back off of our schedule and take breaks for us to reconnect. We were…

SHANNON DECKER of E!’s series “Hollywood Cycle” Provides Fitness Tips
If you haven’t heard of Shannon Decker yet, you surely will as she is one of the fitness guru’s on the new E! new show Hollywood Cycle that airs on E! Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET/PT. Before she became a top fitness model, Decker believed that her athletic build, “jock” background and “attainable, every girl” vibe would be a hindrance to a successful modeling career.

Take a Trip Back in Time with The Medieval Times Show
Last week I was contacted by the crew over at The Medieval Times to see if I would like to check out the show in Buena Park. I had not seen the show yet which is surprising since I have lived in Orange County most of my life (minus my college years and traveling). My seven year old was so excited to see real knights on horses fighting and jousting. A brand new show opened up this year and celebrates the California Castle’s 25th anniversary, The Medieval Times 30th anniversary, and its recent $2.5 renovation. We arrived just as the show was about to begin, but I would recommend to come at least an half hour…
