Note: This post is for informational purposes only. It is based on personal experiences and is not intended as a substitute for professional medical care. When my daughter was about 2 ½, we had her tested for allergies. I was concerned because her eczema never seemed to go away, no matter what type of lotion we used. We took her to a dermatologist who prescribed a special cream. I remember asking him if eczema could be caused by our dog and he … [Read more...]
New Children’s Books to Delight Your Early Reader
One of the things I loved doing with my daughter when she was a toddler is to take her to the bookstore to look at children’s books. We would spend an hour or two browsing the aisles and sitting next to other kids with their parents during storytime. My daughter is older now, and times have changed. There are fewer local bookstores and with stay-at-home orders in many cities, you probably are not aware about new book releases. Little kids … [Read more...]
Interview with Laura Prepon – Actress, Writer, and Director
A couple weeks ago, I attended an online Mamarazzi with The Moms! The guest speaker was Laura Prepon, who most people remember from “Orange is the New Black” and/or “That '70s Show.” Laura Prepon’s new book entitled, "You and I, as Mothers: A Raw and Honest Guide to Motherhood" debuted on (virtual) bookshelves on April 7th!

Friday Feels: Our New Normal
So much has changed in the span of a week. Just the other day, I was publishing my opinion piece on “Keeping Calm & Carrying On” when it comes to the Coronavirus (COVID-19). At the time I was feeling that we should remain “business as usual” and to some degree I still do. However I feel like in time, we will all need to start adjust to a new normal. Last night I held an event at StretchLab Granada Hills. I expected cancellations … [Read more...]
Thursday Thoughts: Keep Calm and Carry On – Coronavirus Edition
On a scale of 1 to 10, from mildly concerned to super paranoid, how worried are you about Coronavirus (COVID-19)? Last Thursday, I was probably a 2 or 3 – somewhat concerned but I didn’t give it too much thought since it wasn’t in Los Angeles County (yet) and I practice good hygiene. However, now that there are 6 cases in LA County, I would say that I’m slightly worried at about a 5 or 6. There’s a fine line between being careful and letting … [Read more...]
