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...]

Posted on December 28, 2015 | Filed Under: Product Reviews | Tags: First Aid Shot Therapy, hangover relief, heartburn relief, pain relief | 10 Comments

The following post is sponsored by First Aid Shot Therapy. All opinions are 100% my own. We are smack–dab in the middle of cold & flu season, not to mention prime-time holiday festivities and binge eating fests that can trigger heartburn.

#LightFeelsRight with Bzees

Posted on December 16, 2015 | Filed Under: Product Reviews | Tags: Bzees, easy to wash shoe, free foam footbeds | 2 Comments

You may recall that I have issues with my feet, which I've described in this blog. Apparently the apple doesn't fall far from the tree since my mom has foot problems too. Having worn heels much of her early adult life, it created bunions & she even had surgery to remove them. So now comfort is key for my mom when it comes to footwear. However my mom doesn't want to necessarily sacrifice fashion for comfort. Fortunately there is … [Read more...]
