Seal’s New Album “7” Drops Today!

Posted on November 6, 2015 | Filed Under: Books, Pop Culture | Tags: Seal "7", Seal musician, Trevor Horn | Leave a Comment

When I first heard Seal’s music back in the early 90s, I was just starting college & still rocking the big hair (not sure why). I played those two CDs (“Seal” & “Seal II”) to death! Since then, he has released many more albums. The last two recent ones “Hits” & “Commitment and Soul 2” were so-so in my book. That’s why I am super excited to review his new “7” album that releases today, November 6th! It is a true return to … [Read more...]

Hearty Breakfast or a Late Night Snack? Modern Oats is the Answer!

Posted on November 5, 2015 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: healthy oatmeal, Modern Oats, vegan oatmeal | 2 Comments

People often say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I know that is definitely true for me because if I don't have a decent breakfast, then it is hard for me to focus on the day's tasks because I'm too busy ignoring my hunger pangs & wondering when my next meal will come. That's just me though because I have a tendency to get "hangry." There are mornings when it is really hectic & I'm just looking for a quick yet … [Read more...]

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

I first met Amelia Butler last year in Burbank when I was working as a parent rep for a national babysitting service/online app. I knew that she was a dance instructor at Mia & the Dragonfly who was very much beloved.

Amelia represents someone who is very involved with her community, cares … [Read more...]
