Jen & Joe’s Frozen Gourmet Cookie Dough

Posted on March 3, 2015 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: frozen cookie dough, Jen & Joe’s Cookie Dough, white chocolate wasabi cookies | Leave a Comment

Who doesn’t love the smell of fresh baked cookies? My family loves eating them & more importantly, my kiddo loves helping me bake ‘em. It’s a fun weekend activity; however, let’s be honest…sometimes with our hectic schedules we don’t always have time to bake cookies from scratch, especially when you look inside your pantry & realize that you don’t have all of the ingredients needed to bake that yummy cookie recipe that you found on … [Read more...]

Meet Stephanie Alvarez a Ruby Ribbon Independent Stylist

Posted on February 25, 2015 | Filed Under: Real Moms of the SFV | Tags: Ruby Ribbon Independent Stylist, shapewear, Stephanie Alvarez | 2 Comments

I met Stephanie Alvarez last year when I attended a Ruby Ribbon styling session at her home. Stephanie was so gracious & entertaining as I tried on a bunch of different outfits. Usually when I try on shapewear at a department store, it is kind of a drag, but Stephanie made it so much fun! As a Ruby Ribbon Independent Stylist, Stephanie works for a company that inspires women by fostering a community of friendship & empowerment. Please … [Read more...]

WundaBar Studio City – Pilates Reinvented

Posted on February 23, 2015 | Filed Under: Fitness | Tags: Amy Jordan, Studio City Pilates, WundaBar Pilates | Leave a Comment

If you’ve seen the photos on my Instagram account, then you’ll probably notice a few things – I love food, I attend a lot of children’s events & that I like to work out! The food part is easy to explain – I like eating! I also attend a lot of kids stuff due to my day job. The working out part is critical for me, since I do have to offset all of that eating, but also it’s good for my mental health. My family knows that mama gets a little … [Read more...]

We all know that right now Girl Scout Cookie season is in full effect! I've seen photos on social media regarding the Girl Scouts #onemorebite campaign. The idea is to upload a selfie on Instagram of you with a Girl Scout Cookie, tag it #onemorebite & then you will be entered into a giveaway in which the grand prize is 52 boxes of your fave Girl Scout Cookie! Wow, that's a lot of Thin Mints (for me)! Speaking of photographs, did you know … [Read more...]

Healthy Oscar Viewing Snacking with G.H. Cretors Organic Popcorn

Posted on February 20, 2015 | Filed Under: Food, Pop Culture | Tags: G.H. Cretors, Organic Popcorn, Oscar party snacks | 2 Comments

The Oscars are this Sunday & while I didn’t get to see every movie on my list, I still plan on making my picks for the Oscar pool that I am in. I often joke with people about how Oscar Sunday is my Super Bowl. I get out the snacks ahead of time, watch all of the pregame coverage or in this case, the red-carpet interviews where fashion critics ask “who are you wearing??” all the while texting my friends Ann & Linda about the speeches & … [Read more...]

**4/39/17 EDITOR’S NOTE: I was informed via Yelp that the business is closed.** Last month we spent a fun family day in Pasadena. First we hit up the LA Cookie Con & Sweets Show at the Pasadena Convention Center. After sampling all of that sweetness, we decided to walk a few blocks over to Bachi Burger which is on the corner of Green & Fair Oaks. I had heard so many good things from my family & friends who had eaten at the … [Read more...]
