Hip Appeal – Stylish Hip Wrap Fanny Pack

Posted on September 20, 2015 | Filed Under: Fitness | Tags: Hip Appeal fanny pack, jogging belt, running waist pack | 2 Comments

When I go jogging at my local park or participate in 5k races, I like to keep my hands free. Sure, I might run with hand wrapped around my cell phone but that's because I listen to my tunes or occasionally take pictures during runDisney races. However it sure is nice to be able to stash my car keys, a few bucks in cash, a driver's license or credit card in a waist pack. Call it what you want - fanny pack, jogging belt or waist pack, they all … [Read more...]

Posted on September 17, 2015 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: Goodkid Foods, Goodkid Snack Bars, organic fruit snack bar | Leave a Comment

The other day I felt conflicted while packing my daughter's school lunch. What should I give her for snack time? Cheesy flavored crackers? Another apple sauce pouch? Then I really felt indecisive - what Goodkid snack bar should I include? Yeah I realize these are #firstworld problems, but seriously folks, these delicious bars come in 3 yummy flavors: Oatmeal Raisin, Apple Cinnamon & Lemon Blueberry. I'm partial to Lemon Blueberry, but I know … [Read more...]

Meet Jennifer and Sylvia of RC Dance School of Burbank

Posted on September 9, 2015 | Filed Under: Real Moms of the SFV | Tags: Burbank dance studio, RC Dance School, Red Chair Children’s Production Company | 2 Comments

My daughter took ballet & tap dance lessons when she was a toddler up until 1st grade. The classes gave her confidence to be on stage in front of people. Plus she had a great time making new friends in the class & following the teacher’s instructions. Two moms, Jennifer Thompson-Bosco & Sylvia Kelman started their own dance studio in Burbank back in 2005. When I heard their story, I thought it would be amazing to share. Please meet … [Read more...]

Mint Leaf Indian Cuisine 2

I’m a big fan of Indian food. Just give me some spicy samosas, naan bread & that delicious chicken tikka masala & I am one happy camper! I know of good places in Simi (my old hometown) & have a few go-to Indian restaurants in the Valley. However I was in for a treat when I visited Mint Leaf Indian Cuisine in the “other” Valley – San Gabriel Valley or Pasadena to be more specific. It only took about 20 minutes to get there from my … [Read more...]

When I stopped by the Two Moms in the Raw booth at BlogFest, I was intrigued by the name. Naturally it was the food that led me to the booth, especially since they were passing out samples of several of their products. However it was the name of the company that got me wondering what this company was all about. Shari Leidich is the founder of Two Moms in the Raw, a family-run company that makes 100% organic, gluten free, raw, sprouted, non-GMO … [Read more...]
