The Mission Belt: A Stylish Belt with a #SocialGood Mission

Posted on October 28, 2014 | Filed Under: Social Good | Tags: Mission Belt, no holes belt, social good | Leave a Comment

Product was provided for this post as part of an opportunity with The Brand Connection. All opinions expressed are my own. My husband rotates between two belts on a regular basis with his office slacks, jeans & cargo shorts. Since he has lost about 15-20 pounds in the last year, he has had to cinch up his belt even more, getting down to the last belt hole. It was looking like he’d need a new belt at a different belt size. That’s when I … [Read more...]

Hello Kitty Con is just around the corner & I cannot wait!

Dining at Meat District Co. in Pasadena

Posted on October 17, 2014 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: Meat District Co., Meat Hook, Pasadena restaurants | Leave a Comment

A few blocks north of Colorado Blvd on Raymond Avenue is a wonderful gem of a restaurant that is aptly named Meat District Co. The restaurant opened in late August. I remember reading about the grand opening online & thinking that the concept sounded very interesting. A couple of weeks ago, I attended a luncheon with a handful of bloggers. Before I sat down to order, I peeked inside their meat locker. I learned that Meat District Co. … [Read more...]

Sky High Sports: The Trampoline Place

Posted on October 13, 2014 | Filed Under: Mommy Stuff | Tags: Sky High Sports, trampoline dodgeball, Woodland Hills trampoline park | Leave a Comment

Every now & then, my daughter will have random days off from school. Sometimes it’s a holiday & other times it’s one of those teacher in-service days. We had one of those school vacation days about 2 weeks ago. So what’s a kid to do when you want to spend an hour or two with school friends? Rather than hosting a get-together at my house, I decided to call up my daughter’s BFF (well actually her mom) & schedule a play date at Sky High … [Read more...]
