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...]
Burke Williams Day Spa – Woodland Hills
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...]

Since I arrived around 9am, I was able to park on the first floor & tour around the outdoor mall before the crowds arrived at 10am. … [Read more...]

Unbooked Appointments {Review + Giveaway}
We all know that sometimes the best deals happen at the last minute. Take the New York City TKTS ticket booth for example. A friend of mine told me about her trip to NYC & how she wanted to see a musical on Broadway. She saved money by going through the TKTS ticket booth in Times Square, which sells tickets to Broadway and Off-Broadway shows at 30-50% off the day of the show. Theater owners don't want the unbooked tickets to go to waste & … [Read more...]
