A Day Trip On The Fillmore Easter Train
My in-laws usually spend the Easter Holiday with us so I am always pressed to find a fun way for all ages to celebrate after our traditional egg hunt and morning activities. I had heard about the Fillmore Easter Train so I looked into it thinking it might be something that grandparents can enjoy with young grandchildren (plus us parents may actually get some time to relax too!). Fillmore is a town that is about an hour north of Malibu...

City Moms Pass in LA
I can remember moving here to Southern California with 2 young children, not knowing a single person. It was both thrilling and terrifying. Kind of the same feeling as visiting a new city with your kids for the first time, except that we would be staying here!! When we were saying goodbye to my children’s pediatrician back east, who also is a family friend, I remember her telling us we would love “The Land of Everything”- what she...

Conscious Parenting: How to Focus on You
Most parents will tell you how happy they are and that their children are their world. Many parents will go to amazing lengths to make their children happy, often totally overlooking themselves. In the beginning, I was one of those. Having Irish Twins challenged me in a whole new way and for a couple of years there, I lost myself in them. Between diapers, making my own baby food, tidying the house, arranging playdates and the such...
