Summer Energy-Saving Tips
Published on Thursday, June 30, 2011 by caryn June flew by, and with it went the temperate weather that we always get here in Southern California. June Gloom is gone and in it's place are temperatures well into the 80s and 90s. During the spring and fall months, we rarely use air conditioning. We simply open windows if it's warm and ensure that the blinds are closed during the time when the sun's heat is at... Read More » -

How I Inspire My Children To Learn
Published on Wednesday, June 29, 2011 by caryn So much of what I remember from my childhood was associated with experiences. My mom used our weekend day trips to the beach to teach me about sea life and our vacations to expose me to art and history. Because I'm a hands-on learner, I've strived to provide my children with the same type of experiential learning. My son, who just turned four, is an active, inqu... Read More » -

Published on Tuesday, June 28, 2011 by caryn [caption id="attachment_25189" align="aligncenter" width="614" caption="Photo Credit: Disney/Pixar"][/caption] Whenever I watch an animated film, I'm awestruck by the visual aesthetics, knowing, in part, how much time, effort, and creativity are involved. After watching Cars 2 for the third time over the weekend, I still came away from the film amazed at it's bea... Read More » -

Britax Launches It’s First Baby Carrier
Published on Tuesday, June 28, 2011 by caryn I wear my children for two reasons...attachment and convenience. In those sweet, blissful newborn days, babies need to be next to their mamas. The gentle sway, warmth, and sounds of her heartbeat mimic that what is experienced in utero. And, if I'm being honest, it's much more convenient to have a baby secured to me while I'm running after my preschooler. O... Read More » -

Tips On Taking Children To the Movie Theater
Published on Monday, June 27, 2011 by caryn I can't remember the exact moment when my son would sit through a movie in a theater without squirming, crying or making a mad dash for the exit, but somewhere between 2 1/2 and 3, I felt comfortable venturing out. There is something exciting about a morning, afternoon, or early evening out at the movies. My son, in particular, enjoys the experience, particularly if... Read More » -

Published on Monday, June 27, 2011 by caryn They're 4 and 18 months...and they make messes like no other. I know it's their age, but I am constantly cleaning up juice and crumbs, wiping faces and floors, and scrubbing windows and walls. My son just turned four, and for the last few months, we've slowly been giving him small chores to complete to encourage responsibility. I don't know a single child (part... Read More » -

Published on Monday, June 27, 2011 by jason My wife may not admit it often, but I am an integral part of her site. Usually, I'm in the background, from shooting video and editing to coding and design. And that is about all I have time for, with my own very demanding job, forget starting my own blog! But occasionally, I go to events and write about something that she wouldn't otherwise have time to cover. So the... Read More » -

Tips on Building Healthy Smiles
Published on Monday, June 27, 2011 by caryn My son just turned four, and apart from two dental screenings, he's yet to visit a dentist. I honestly wasn't sure when he was supposed to have his first dental visit (perhaps a question I should have asked at his last annual check-up), but from visual inspection of his teeth during our daily brushing, I knew a visit was needed soon. Last week, we stopped by our ... Read More » -

Get Local: Levi’s Film Workshop
Published on Friday, June 24, 2011 by caryn Growing up, I always swayed towards the intellectual as opposed to the creative. I took practically every Advanced Placement class offered and shied away from art, ceramics, and theater. It wasn't until my 20's that I discovered my love for art (particularly Impressionism) and theater. And it wasn't until I started writing this blog that I discovered my love for... Read More » -

Published on Wednesday, June 22, 2011 by caryn When people ask me what my son with food allergies eats, I typically tell them he eats like a Vegan...a Vegan who eats meat!

My knowledge was limited to children who experienced life-threatening, anaphylactic reactions to things like nuts. Earlier this week, an article was re... Read More »
