Posted on December 14, 2015 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: Fresh Brothers, restaurant cinnamon rolls, Sweet Knots | Leave a Comment

I have been a big fan of Fresh Brothers for a couple of years now. I was first introduced to them at a kids event (Club MomMe to be exact) & I was hooked on their pizza at first bite! Fresh Brothers is a LA & Orange County based pizza chain known for their fresh ingredients & healthy options including gluten-free & vegan pizza. Recently we visited our local Fresh Brothers in Encino. There is a comfortable amount of seating … [Read more...]

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.

How can a car museum be a multi-generational … [Read more...]

As someone who freelances, I always strive to be organized with my record keeping. I have file folders to hold my receipts, containers to hold tax records from the year before & notebooks with financial notes containing driving mileage. Regarding the holidays, I have plastic containers for wrapping paper, … [Read more...]
