How To Travel With Baby #FamilyTravel

Posted on Feb 3, 2015

So you’ve had your first baby and think you are ready to travel again? Yay!! Don’t worry, it is not as hard as you think! Travel technology has come a long way. It is probably best to start off with small trips to not overly public places until baby is around 3 months old – ya know, avoid all of those germs, let the immune system grow! But then its: ☼☼ Wheels up baby, the sky is the limit! http://t.co/Qm5UNawyvh #familytravel...

Loops In Bloom

Posted on Jan 30, 2015

Recently a business associate of my hubby’s here in LA had a baby. We wanted to send something unique and personal. I instantly thought of Loops In Bloom. Loops In Bloom is a shop on Etsy that makes and sells handmade crochet baby items, most of which can be ordered in organic cotton (score!!). I like the organic cotton options because regular cotton requires the use of enormous amounts of pesticides to grow it – bad for earth, bad...

This Sunday in Malibu

Posted on Jan 26, 2015

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...

SmartTech Gloves by iGotTech

Posted on Jan 24, 2015

The winter months here in Malibu can be quite chilly – and it gets even colder elsewhere in the world, which can make texting/emailing/calling when outside not so fun. When iGotTech contacted me with the opportunity to test their smartphone texting gloves in exchange for my honest review I was excited! Even more so when the SmartTech Gloves arrived just in time for a cold spell here! The SmartTech Gloves arrived with minimal packaging...

So I was really excited to try it earlier this week (click to read why I like to eat seasonal and local). Ollie’s Duck & Dive was fantastic!...
