This past weekend I went with my family to the Annenberg Community Beach House. This is by far my favorite place in Santa Monica for family fun in the sun. We started out the day by going to the pool. There are plenty of lounge chairs, tables, umbrellas & two changing rooms. They even have a recreation room on the second floor where you can take your kids to play checkers or read while taking in an ocean view. Also next to the beach house … [Read more...]

I typically get a Starbucks skinny vanilla latte, but I’ll also go to Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf for … [Read more...]
Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number
Later in the year, I will be celebrating a milestone birthday. Yep, I’m turning 40! While that may seem daunting to some, I’m actually feeling better about it than when I turned 30. There’s a R&B song titled “Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number” & in my opinion that’s a good phrase to live by. I started this summer with the intention of doing new things that I’ve never tried, sort of like a bucket list. I’ve always wanted to try … [Read more...]
