I’m late on posting this, but I caught up with up with our friends at The Sweet Potatoe, a fashion-forward, children’s clothing line made with sustainable and organic cotton. I e-mail interviewed founder/designer Maria Aldana about the new collection they revealed at the ENK Children’s Club trade show in New York City earlier this year. […]
A year ago today, with the help of some amazing friends, old and new, I held a fundraiser, “Desserts for Disaster Relief.” We raised money to assist local non-profit Awaken Arts with their relief efforts for the victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. Awaken Arts, formerly known as “The 24 Foundation,” reached out to over 5,000 people on […]

On Tuesday, my family and I dined at Madera Kitchen in Hollywood. I was delighted when I received the invitation through my blog to dine there because my daughter and I rarely eat dinner with my husband during the week. He works in Hollywood, so it was a nice opportunity for a family dinner. Plan […]
