Posted on August 24, 2014 | Filed Under: Pop Culture | Tags: MTV, Video Music Awards, VMAs | 6 Comments

So tonight is the big MTV Video Music Awards! This award show has always been known for its outrageous performances & stunts. Remember back in the day when Brit Brit & Madge locked lips? How about when Ms. Diana Ross "complimented" Lil' Kim's purple dress? These are watercooler moments people! By the way, do offices even have watercoolers anymore?

Posted on August 20, 2014 | Filed Under: Real Moms of the SFV | Tags: LA yoga instructor, Sandbox Fitness, Stacey Alysson | 1 Comment

She firmly but gently tries to push you to hold that pose a little longer, stretch & lengthen your arms. She also reminds you to breathe AND smile during the class! After the class ended, she graciously posed for a photo. If you are a yoga … [Read more...]

CD Review + Giveaway: Unrepentant Geraldines by Tori Amos

I’ve been a fan of Tori Amos since her Little Earthquakes days, back when I was in college & listening to KROQ radio station 24/7. The song Silent All These Years has such a great melody & those haunting lyrics…just beautiful! Fast forward 20-something years later & people are still listening to Tori’s music. Tori’s latest album Unrepentant Geraldines is vintage Tori, her lilting voice accompanied by that great piano music. I … [Read more...]

The following post is sponsored by the Institute of Food Technologists®. All opinions are 100% my own. As a busy mom I’m amazed at how much food can be wasted in my own home.
