Video Baby Books
It is a constant struggle for us parents to capture every important moment and milestone in our young ones’ lives. I never seem to have the right camera ready at the right moment. And pictures of ourselves with the kids? Forget about it!! Until I met Francine Michelle, creator of Video Baby Books. Video Baby Books are my new favorite shower gift for 2015, what an amazing find they are! Francine Michelle is an award-winning film maker....
How to Cope when Parenthood Overwhelms You
First came love, then came marriage, then came the baby in the baby carriage. Our baby came amidst stories of love and wonder at having a new life. I asked questions of everyone and was given answers of everything will be blissfully easy. Hmmm….. Well, after 2 step sons and a set of Irish Twins, I can tell you they all lied to me!! Yes, parenting is amazing and honestly, I would not change any of my experiences for anything in the...

This Sunday in Malibu
Sunday was a kite flying kind of a day here in Malibu! The weather forecast had us in the 80’s so all other plans were abandoned and we quickly packed up for the beach. Chairs, beach toys, towels, surf boards and food all got thrown into the love bus. There was a nice breeze out so hubby tossed the kites in too and off we went. It was a lovely day of my favorite kind in Malibu. There is something about being at the beach. Yes, I know...

How to Teach Kids to Ice Skate
With winter well underway, ice skating has been on my brain. Ice skating is one of my favorite things to do in the winter. Whether we can go outside on a frozen pond or to an indoor rink, ice skating is something I have looked forward to doing with my children for a long time. We recently went ice skating (a few times!) to an indoor rink on a trip back east. It was so much fun, I can’t wait to go again! Though we do not have any...
