The Butt Babe

Posted on Dec 3, 2014

That is Aime in the photo above, The Butt Babe. Aime is an incredible personal trainer who works with many performers, execs and plenty of parents who want to stay (or get!) in shape. She came highly recommended to me and I am so glad that I made the call to her. While putting on a pair of pants the day after Halloween, I noticed there was waaaay more junk in my trunk than normal. Halloween candy is not my friend! I knew I needed some...

12 Weeks to a Flawless Fanny – Week 2.

Posted on Dec 3, 2014

My legs are sore and it is pouring buckets here in Malibu, but that will not stop me in my quest for a flawless fanny! With all of the mudslides and road closures, we will not be able to workout outside today. So we have come to our neighboring town of Westlake Village to The Spot, home of the Butt Babe Aime, to work our rumps out! We will be adding in some weight this week. Using weight is key to building/shaping our fannies....

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. We love to bake pies in our family and a few years ago decided to have the pies for breakfast because we are so full after the feast that we never got to properly enjoy the pies! 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...

Posted on Nov 26, 2014

It is the day before Thanksgiving and I am off to #workout for the first time with the Butt Babe, Aime. We are so lucky to be able to workout in Malibu this morning and I can’t wait. #Malibu is amazing. Please check with your physician to be sure these exercises are safe for you and that what works for us will also work for you. I plan to do a 20 minute yoga routine on my days off to help support change in my body. Be sure to do some...

Help – My Body is Jiggly!

Posted on Nov 25, 2014

The month of October was seriously bad to my butt! Oh how I claim to hate the Halloween candy until 9pm when I secretly love it. Kids are asleep, a show goes on, wine gets poured and one Halloween small sized candy bar from a bag becomes two bars, then the third bar because after all they are just tiny little bars, right? The next thing I knew, most of the bag was gone (oops, the wine too, wait – do they cancel each other out since it...

My 100th Post – Why Have I Done This?

Posted on Nov 24, 2014

Starting Malibu Mama Loves has been the fifth greatest challenge of my life. It has helped me realize my strength. It has helped me see the strength in others. It is to them that I dedicate this post, my 100th post, which so many thought I could not reach. For the girl who randomly dropped into my life on a very bad day of mine and said “I checked out your site last night and it looks amazing. Here is a little congrats gift for you”...
