Since I began treatment witn Invisalign a couple of months ago, I’ve become a little famous in my family for “misplacing” my aligners. “Has anybody seen my teeth?” I yell. “What are you? 100 years old?” scold my daughters. “Where did you see them last? Try to remember…” Part of the problem with keeping track…
No Evil Eye Scarf Dyed with Sharpies {Tutorial}
I’ve been collecting anti evil eye beads for years. I’m a sucker for superstitions – here are just a few of the ones I “believe” in. I love the look and feel of these lucky glass beads and decided I wanted to recreate that look on a plain white silk scarf I’ve had laying around…

How Camp Changes Children and Parents Too
Disclosure: I have a working relationship with Catalina Island Camps, and have traded professional consulting services for camp tuition this summer. I’m thrilled to work for them, frankly. Camp makes a difference for so many children, not just mine. A strange thing happened when I went to pick up my kids from camp. I cried….
Starbucks Style Passionfruit Lemonade Iced Tea Recipe
I have a little problem. I’m completely addicted to Starbucks Passionfruit/Lemonade Iced tea. It’s an expensive habit and I’m embarrassed to say how much I’ve already spent on the stuff this summer.

Disclosure: Joovy provided us with a sample stroller for review testing and consideration. If you live in So Cal, you go to theme parks. A lot. We don’t get through all this fun without the use of a “Sag Wagon”, and by this I mean a big ol’ stroller like the Joovy Caboose. Living in…
I’ve Got My Eye on You: TGIFriday Cats
Missing a Sister
My childhood was, by most standards, privileged. I wanted for nothing much materially. I grew up in a large family that gathered often. My home was party central for occasions celebratory, religious and impromptu. I liked the parties, despite the fact that I usually found myself on the fringe. I was not just a loner,…
Would You Put your Toddler on a Leash?
Before I had kids, the answer was NO! Never? What kind of parent puts a kid on a leash? It’s humiliating to treat a child like a dog. I had all the answers before I had kids. Some of them were right. Some of them were…. Well let’s just say that I was in for…
Toddlers on a Leash: Heel Baby!
I always said I was “practicing” my parenting on my dog, prior to having kids. After all, there are a lot of similarities to training a dog and parenting. You have to be consistent, firm and loving. You have to establish who is in charge. You have to feed them regularly and yep, there is…
