Chef Proven’s Professional Zester Grater Review
I love to cook. Even more, I love finding new gadgets to make creating incredible dishes easier in my kitchen. When I saw Chef Proven’s Professional Zester Grater I was interested. Adding a bit of last minute zest, cheese, spice or chocolate can really finish a dish uniquely. But I have never found a grater that is easy to use yet still effective. So I had to try Chef Proven’s! Chef Proven’s Professional Zester Grater arrived in a...
‘Let It Snow’ at The Four Seasons Westlake
A Fun Family Outing This year, we kicked off our Holiday Season at the Four Seasons Westlake ‘Let It Snow’ Event; it was quite a magical night! We started off the evening with two elves reading stories by the fire in a room beautifully decorated for the holidays. It was cozy and fun!

Why I Hope To Show The World To My Children
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...
Rockin’ Green Laundry Detergent
At the last MomExpo I attended, I was given this smart little green pouch filled with Rockin’ Green laundry detergent to try. Everyone in my house has sensitive skin so I am hesitant to try different laundry detergents. However, it comes in this bright little package with lovely words all over it. AND it is the perfect size for travelling – imagine how thrilled I was to find out that there is enough in the package for 2 loads!...

Help – My Body is Jiggly!
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...
The Mom Expo Experience
This past Friday and Saturday I experienced my first #TheMomExpo. I wasn’t sure what to expect, I was curious about this Mom Expo thing. It was actually a lot of fun!

What is #TheMomExpo? #TheMomExpo is a place for vendors to meet with local moms. It is also a place for local moms...
