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.

Mint Leaf Indian Cuisine – A Hidden Gem in Pasadena
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!

It only took about 20 minutes to get there from my … [Read more...]

After reading the description, I realized that it’s only 30 minutes, so surely I can hang in there for half an hour. As a new customer, my first session is free, so I was ready to rise to the … [Read more...]
Green Apple Active – Lifestyle and Fitness Apparel
I tend to live in my workout clothes. At school drop-off, you’ll see me in my yoga pants or leggings with a loose top or tank. Lately I’ve been looking for an outfit that doesn’t scream “I just got out of my cycle class!” & for one that looks more like casual weekend or lounge wear. It’s important that either top or bottom piece can take me from the gym to a doctor’s appointment to school pick-up. Remember when I went to BlogFest last … [Read more...]
