There are so many fun options at the Village at Westfield Topanga. I don’t know about you but Valentine’s Day ranks right up there with Mother’s Day in terms of pampering & prep.

True story – MomFair helped me land a job several years ago! Yes, that's right, several years ago I met Lynn Perkins (CEO & co-founder of UrbanSitter) at MomFair. She was giving a panel presentation with several other entrepreneurs. Afterwards, we had a quick meeting out on the patio & later on she put me in touch with the Los Angeles hiring manager. I was hired within several weeks. Fast-forward to 2016 & MomFair LIVE is going to … [Read more...]

My Word of the Year (aka Setting My Intentions for 2016)

Posted on December 29, 2015 | Filed Under: Misc, Mommy Stuff | Tags: body positive, intentions, Jess Weiner, self-esteem | 6 Comments

I'm in a Facebook blogging group & earlier in December someone had asked the question about what will be our "word of the year." I had seen these blog posts before on Twitter or in Facebook where you pick out a word that symbolizes what your intention is for the year. It can be tied to a goal or a resolution. Perhaps it is connected to a theme or something you want to "celebrate" in the new year. Can it be all of the above? Sure...just as … [Read more...]

With Christmas around the corner, this blog will be "going dark" for about a week so that I can observe the holiday & spend time with family & friends. So here is my season's greetings & holiday wish to you! It is easy to get lost in the hustle & bustle of holiday preparations. So try to remain positive & remember... I know one way to remain calm & zen-like, just throw on some great music and... Not only am I … [Read more...]

Behind the Scenes at Aquarium of the Pacific

Last month my family was fortunate to get a behind-the-scenes tour of Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach. We went during the weekend of Scarium of the Pacific & had a blast! There were kids dressed up in Halloween costumes & even the aquarium workers got in on the act! The lobby was full of painted pumpkins on display. One of the things our behind the scenes tour guide explained to us is how after really big whales die, they will … [Read more...]

Burke Williams Day Spa – Woodland Hills

Posted on October 6, 2015 | Filed Under: Misc, Mommy Stuff | Tags: Burke Williams Day Spa, The Village at Westfield Topanga, Woodland Hills Day Spa | 12 Comments

Admit it, we all enjoy a little pampering now & then. As busy moms, we usually tend to put ourselves last when it comes to leisure activities & good old fashioned fun. However I’m a firm believer in taking some “me time” every now & then to get recharged. What is that saying…a happy wife, happy life? Thankfully my husband supports that attitude, so a few times a year I get to sneak away to a day spa to relax. For those who live in … [Read more...]
