ReAmp Studios Mission: to educate youths and aspiring artists
A few weeks ago, our very own Melissa Northway asked if I could write an article on ReAmp Studios’ celebrating their one year anniversary since opening up their flagship studio, Studio G, in Tustin and their new partnership with the School of Rock. Being an avid fan of all things music, (albeit a complete ignoramus when it comes to anything that happens in the studio), I was thrilled and jumped at the chance to see what happens behind the scenes! The team at ReAmp is made up of founders Stefani Rose, Daniel Martin, and studio manager/ head engineer Joshua Brooks. The experience and talents of these three combined…

Come Experience Roy’s Restaurant in Newport Beach
A few weeks ago I had a chance to try out Roy’s Restaurant in Newport Beach and I must say I love this restaurant! From the delicious food to great management, I really appreciate how innovative this company is and how they are determined to providing delicious and interesting dishes.

We saw large groups celebrating a special occasion to families celebrating their daughter’s 1st birthday with a big piece of cake. You get the feeling that this is the type of place people come to again and again. The internationally-acclaimed Roy’s Restaurant is known for…

What’s Hot in Southern California :: Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse
Have I mentioned that I was a vegetarian for many years before I became pregnant with my daughter? Well, that all changed about 9 weeks into the pregnancy. I was seriously having dreams about steak and hamburgers and it got to the point where I called my husband from a steakhouse one night as he was leaving work. My “come meet me for dinner at the bar I am about to order a steak” caught him a bit off-guard to say the least! Apparently, my little Kate was needing some protein! The entire pregnancy was like that and one of our absolute favorite steakhouses to go to is Flemings Prime…

The Art of Letting Go
Yesterday I was reminded of what a tough job parents have and knowing when to hold our kids tight and knowing when to let them try new things. On the way back from visiting my brother in San Clemente we drove up the coast and stopped off at a beach that we use to spend a lot of time at when my husband and I were dating. My parents had rented a gorgeous home along the coast in Laguna Beach years ago and when I came back from living in Japan I stayed with them for a couple months. My husband and I have been good friends since high school…
