LA’s California Dance Academy Presents “The Nutcracker”

Posted on December 11, 2015 | Filed Under: Local Events, Pop Culture | Tags: Calabasas Performing Arts Center, California Dance Academy, LA Performance of The Nutcracker | 1 Comment

I must admit, when I hear the familiar strains of "Waltz of the Flowers" from The Nutcracker, I instantly think back to my childhood. The Nutcracker is a classic holiday ballet that has been charming audiences for many decades. I was thrilled to find out that the California Dance Academy and Dance Ensemble, a non-profit dance performance organization based in the San Fernando Valley, is going to be presenting their annual Nutcracker performance … [Read more...]

Petersen Automotive Museum Is Fun For the Whole Family!

Posted on December 10, 2015 | Filed Under: Local Events, Pop Culture | Tags: LA Car Museum, Los Angeles Museum, Petersen Automotive Museum | 4 Comments

Usually when I think of auto museums, I picture lots of old classic cars & perhaps some new models. I wouldn't say that I am a car enthusiast, in fact as a child I remember being dragged by my parents one time to the Auto Show in downtown LA. So I was pleasantly surprised at how much I LOVE the Petersen Automotive Museum! There is literally something for everyone – man, woman & child! How can a car museum be a multi-generational … [Read more...]

Wind and Shadows by Emeralde {Music Review}

Posted on November 24, 2015 | Filed Under: Books, Pop Culture | Tags: adult contemporary music, Emeralde, Margie Russomanno, Mark Gasbarro | Leave a Comment

Recently I was driving to Anaheim from the Valley on a Friday afternoon. Naturally there was traffic & I was stuck in gridlock, no matter what freeway I took. My daughter was in the backseat, happily listening to music on her iPod. I decided that I needed to "get my zen on" & popped into the CD player this new album by Emeralde called Wind and Shadows. Wind and Shadows is the first album for Emeralde & it is a powerful CD that … [Read more...]

NEW Holiday Movie “Santa’s Little Helper” Out on DVD + Giveaway

Posted on November 17, 2015 | Filed Under: Pop Culture | Tags: Christmas movies, Mike “The Miz”, Santa's Little Helper movie | 2 Comments

One of my favorite family holiday traditions is to watch Christmas movies during the month of December. We usually pick out one or two DVDs to watch over the weekend & then when our daughter starts her winter vacation from school, we increase it to one movie per night until Christmas Day. As you can imagine, our DVD bookshelf has a wide selection of holiday movies. It's so fun to get cozy on the couch with our mugs of hot chocolate or hot … [Read more...]
