Posted on December 16, 2015 | Filed Under: Real Moms of the SFV | Tags: Emeralde, LA jewelry designer, Margie Russomanno | Leave a Comment

You may recall last month my music review of the group Emeralde. The female artist in this pop duo is Margie Russomanno. Not only is Margie a musical artist, but she is also a clothing & jewelry designer. This working mom is multi-talented & I thought Margie would be a great person to close out my Real Mom segment of 2015! Please meet the latest Real Mom of the SFV, Margie Russomanno!

If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram, then you know that I am a regular at Beatbike which is an indoor cycling studio based in Tarzana. I've been a big fan of Beatbike since day one & part of the reason is that their instructors are really great!

Posted on November 18, 2015 | Filed Under: Real Moms of the SFV | Tags: Michelle Arevalo, Playdate Connection, San Fernando Valley networking organization | Leave a Comment

I was first introduced to Michelle Arevalo via a Facebook group for Valley parents.

Meet Amelia Butler of Little Monkeys Dance

Posted on November 4, 2015 | Filed Under: Real Moms of the SFV | Tags: Amelia Butler, Burbank dance instructor, Little Monkeys Dance | Leave a Comment

Meet Cynthia of Juniper & Lane Vintage

Posted on October 21, 2015 | Filed Under: Real Moms of the SFV | Tags: Juniper & Lane Vintage, Ventura Blvd shops, Woodland Hills clothing boutique | Leave a Comment

Like most women, I love shopping – online, in-store, chain stores at high AND low end retailers; ain’t nothing wrong with mixing Old Navy sweaters with an Anthropologie skirt & paired with boots from Nordstroms or Bloomie’s, am I right?! However I do love to support local businesses because in times like this, mom & pop stores need our love! If you remember back in the day, Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica used to be a mix of unique … [Read more...]
