First Impressions on the Emmy 2014 Nominations

Posted on July 10, 2014 | Filed Under: Pop Culture | Tags: Breaking Bad, Bryan Cranston, Downton Abbey, Emmy 2014, Emmy Nominations, Julia Louis Dreyfus, True Detective | 10 Comments

People often joke in LA that we have four seasons, which are Summer, Fall, Fire & Award seasons. Personally I love the entertainment award season, especially the "big" ones like the Emmys, Golden Globes & of course, the Oscars. I often tell my friends & family that the Oscars are my Super Bowl. I really get into the predictions of who will win by participating in "friendly wagers" with friends, where the winner gets treated to lunch. … [Read more...]

It's no secret in my family that I am a "salty snack" person. While my daughter may have inherited her dad's sweet tooth, I tend to reach for the chips & salsa or cheese & crackers at family parties. As someone who is always seeking a healthier alternative to cheese-flavored snacks, I was thrilled to sample Ocean's Halo ™ Seaweed Chips! Ocean's Halo ™ Seaweed Chips are made from organic, sustainably harvested & nutrient-rich … [Read more...]

Care Bears Love to Learn – App Review

Posted on July 5, 2014 | Filed Under: Books | Tags: Care Bears Love to Learn, educational app, iPad, tech game | 4 Comments

My daughter loves playing with her dad's iPad. I try to make sure she balances electronic entertainment with reading (an actual book, not on a tablet), playing with her toys & going on play dates with friends. Believe it or not, she's been on an actual play date (both at our home & at her friend's house), where she's asked "Can we play with the iPad?" Sigh... Enter the new Care Bears Love to Learn app which is the first early learning … [Read more...]

My daughter is on the go as much as me. Between summer camp, ice skating lessons, trips to see her cousins down in Orange County, there is just a lot of go, go, go!

This is the perfect item to take in the car with her for road trips or shuttling back & forth to ice skating practice, which is about 30 minutes away from our home. Snackeez™ is a 2 in 1 Snack & Drink … [Read more...]

Posted on July 3, 2014 | Filed Under: Pop Culture | Tags: Grease Sing-A-Long, Summer Sounds, The Hollywood Bowl | Leave a Comment

I've been going to the Hollywood Bowl for as long as I can remember. There's nothing like sitting under the stars with friends after sharing food that you've brought from home or perhaps purchased from one of the Bowl's fine food establishments. Last year I went during my 40th birthday weekend & ate at the Rooftop Grill. It was lovely - such a great setting & the food is wonderful! After the birthday dinner at the Rooftop Grill, we … [Read more...]
