The Science of Gingerbread

Holiday Activities At South Coast Plaza
Published on Tuesday, November 30, 2010 by caryn As soon as November 1st comes around, stores magically transform into their holiday alter-identities. It's sheer brilliance when a mall or shopping center offers holiday activities, because it gives parents the freedom to bring children shopping with them if they choose. A week ago, I spent some time at South Coast Plaza taking part in their holiday activities. ... Read More » -

….Featuring Norah Jones
Published on Monday, November 29, 2010 by caryn Once upon a single life without kids, I would often have people tell me that I looked like Norah Jones. To be honest, I don't really see it (she's much prettier than I am), but I humbly accepted those compliments. The very first time I heard this, I didn't know who Norah Jones was. So I did some research and started listening to one of her albums. I was hooked.Â... Read More » -

The Smarter Diaper Bag
Published on Sunday, November 28, 2010 by caryn In my three + years of being a mom, I've owned at least 5 diaper bags. Some have been used until they've fallen apart (literally). Others are gathering dust in my closet because they were not practical or functional for toting around everything necessary for a baby and a toddler. Clic-It is a diaper bag system that makes it easy to organize the things you need fo... Read More » -

Published on Saturday, November 27, 2010 by caryn You may have guessed that I'm a bit of a health nut. Before I had kids, I'd run several times a week. These days, while I'm not as active as I should be, I still try to get in regular exercise by walking with the kids or dancing on the Wii. I also strive to eat a healthy diet by avoiding excess salt, trans fats, cholesterol, and other artificial ingredients. D...

Winter Warm-Up With Lands’ End Coats
Published on Friday, November 26, 2010 by caryn We're in the heart of winter and while it doesn't typically get that cold in Southern California, we've been seeing temperatures in the 40's at night. Southern California weather is somewhat erratic, particularly at this time of year, and while there are days we all need a jacket, how much use it will get depends on the year.  If I also take into consideration th...

The Talk…Like Coffee With Your Girlfrie...
Published on Monday, November 22, 2010 by caryn I watch very little television and absolutely no daytime television unless I'm sick in bed. Because I'm so busy with family, work, and life, I can't justify spending an hour or more in front of the television unless I'm multi-tasking. Most daytime television includes over dramatized soap operas, less-than-thrilling game shows, and the local news. But ther...

Look Good…Feel Better…
Published on Sunday, November 21, 2010 by caryn When I was a child, my mother told me that taking a shower when I was sick would only make me feel worse. Twenty + years later, it seems funny to me, despite the fact that I know her intentions were all good. I have actually found the opposite to be true. When I'm sick in bed, feeling miserable, I force myself to take a shower. There is something about making ...

Haciendo Conexiones
Published on Sunday, November 21, 2010 by caryn Yes...It's still me. Caryn...You may not have known that I'm Latina. I'm one of those girls who grew up assimilated from a very early age. I regret not soaking in as much as I could during my 3 years of high school Spanish and wish I would have grown up bilingual.  But beyond language, I long to re connect with my cultural heritage because through and through, ...
