5 Fall Fashion Essentials for Moms
Yay! It’s that time again for (most) of the country to pull out their Fall sweaters, boots and coats. Never mind that we are experiencing 100 degree days here in Southern California, I can still dream about the days we can pull out our Fall clothing. Yes, eventually, the days will become cooler and we can join the rest of the country – though our winters are pretty mild as you know. Trust me when I say there are many-a-day when I would love to wake up to seeing snow falling from my bedroom window. I can’t complain and won’t though I do have a little cold-weather envy… Here…

Yummy Cinnamon Rolls Recipe
Ooey, gooey, yummy cinnamon rolls! They’re a favorite here in our house. Several years ago, I started teaching my kids to make them and before that having them help me. They love being in the kitchen and these are really easy to make – as the girl loves surprising me with them! Sometimes we change things up (for the filling) or will do a half and half alternative if we’re running low on milk or sugar.

Crafts :: DIY Decorative Halloween Pumpkins
Spiders, skeletons, spooky ghosts and pumpkins! That is what October is all about. I always try to do something fun with our pumpkins and this year I have decided to make them less scary and more decorative. I may even decide to keep them around until Thanksgiving, with minor adjustments of course.

A Beautiful Fall In Santa Monica
Santa Monica is a wonderful place to visit any time of year, but Fall is especially nice with beautiful, warm days and lots of fun activities. While it can get a little nippy at night with the ocean breeze, a sweatshirt or light sweater will usually be enough. Santa Monica hosts many fun activities through the months of October through November. If you missed the Halloween fun, be sure to check out the Thanksgiving and Christmas activities. Every year, Downtown Santa Monica creates a little piece of heaven known as ‘ICE at Santa Monica‘ right on the corner of 5th Street and Arizona Avenue. This incredible outdoor skating rink gives tourists…
