For Those Who Came Before Us

Posted on Jan 9, 2015

An amazing thing happened to me over this past holiday. While in my parent’s house, I was looking for their luggage scale and bumped the bookshelf.

It is a photo of my grandmother, my mother’s mother, getting ready to scuba dive using some sort of a gas mask turned into a breather which was common in the early...

Posted on Dec 30, 2014

It does not seem possible to me that 2015 is right around the corner. Right about now “What are your resolutions for this year?” seems to be the hot question at every party and it has me thinking about the year behind and what I can do to make the year ahead better! I am halfway through the 12 Weeks to a Flawless Fanny. The Butt Babe has me looking and feeling great so weight loss and diet do not need to be on the list. You know how I...

How to Raise Polite Children

Posted on Dec 22, 2014

The Holiday Season is a time for sharing, caring and social gatherings. Obnoxious, rude children can ruin even the best of occasions. When you do not instill the value of being kind and courteous to others in your children, you are ultimately alienating them from society. The repercussions of hateful behavior will interfere with every aspect of their lives; from getting crossed off the invite list for school events and parties, to...

Why I Hope To Show The World To My Children

Posted on Dec 2, 2014

Even though it is a rainy day here in #Malibu, it is beautiful and peaceful. The kids are off to school, the hubby and I are working; each of us looking forward to gathering for dinner tonight to all speak of our day at once! Our intentions are good when we start off the day, but we quickly become distracted with work and then become taxi cabs for our children’s plans, chefs to keep them fed and personal assistants to keep the kids...

Thanksgiving 2014

Posted on Nov 27, 2014

It’s Thanksgiving 2014! On this day we have pie and mimosas (virgin ones for the kiddos) for breakfast.

It is one of my favorite family traditions. Then we have a family tournament – this year it is air hockey! Before we know it, it will be...
