Cozy Up With Serta’s Sleep to Go Luxury...
Published on Sunday, March 4, 2012 by caryn After a very busy week, I was quite content to lounge on the couch this afternoon, watching the shows that have been accumulating on my DVR. Despite our warmer than usual daytime weather, our nights are still chilly with temperatures dropping down into the 40s! This evening, I warmed up with Serta's cozy new Sleep to Go Fleece blanket, which is officially replacin... Read More » -

Published on Sunday, March 4, 2012 by caryn I've often been described as crunchy...especially given the fact that I'm from Southern California. If you've read my blog, you know that my journey to becoming more environmentally responsible was inspired by my children. No one person can do everything, but every person can do something and that is the philosophy that my husband and I try to live by. Some of the thi... Read More » -

Published on Friday, March 2, 2012 by caryn It was all so mysterious...the compelling invite, written to include just enough information to draw you in...the clues (aka the workout gear) and instructions (invitation) that were sent (as in mailed) just prior to the event. Even as I approached The Montalban in Los Angeles, I still didn't exactly know what I'd be doing for six whole hours. All I really knew wa... Read More » -

Marvel’s The Avengers…A First Loo...
Published on Thursday, March 1, 2012 by caryn About a year ago, my son really started becoming interested in superheros. You might remember that he dressed as Spiderman for Halloween last year. He wore that costume as much as I would let him that entire month before Halloween. His fascination with superheros continued and he's been collecting several action figures in the last few months. So you can imagine... Read More » -

Published on Wednesday, February 29, 2012 by caryn A properly fitted shoe, designed specifically with a child's foot in mind, is integral to helping a child learn to walk and achieve healthy foot development. Some experts say that a child should actually learn to walk barefoot, if possible. But given the fact that this isn't always a safe or feasible option when outside of the home, we've found that a soft, flexible s... Read More » -

Published on Monday, February 27, 2012 by caryn For years we've known that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. The very meaning of the word, when broken down, is simply to "break the fast." Have you ever thought about how long that stint is from dinner to breakfast? In our home, it's as many as 12 hours! For children, who depend on the regular intake of nutrient-rich foods, the negative effects c... Read More » -

7 Red Carpet Makeup Tips Any Woman Can Recrea...
Published on Monday, February 27, 2012 by caryn I remember the days when I had ample time to primp and ready myself for the day. My hair alone can take 30-45 minutes if I'm planning on using the flat iron, so you can imagine how much time I'd spend making myself presentable before I had children. As a busy mother of two, I'm lucky if I can get just a little bit of make-up on before heading out the door. On thos... Read More » -

Published on Wednesday, February 22, 2012 by caryn Every morning and night, without fail, I brush and floss my teeth. It's a habit my mother instilled within me as a young child, and I'm thankful she emphasized the importance of proper oral care, because as a 30 something year old woman, I've yet to have a cavity. Similarly, I've started my children along the same path. As soon as their first tooth emerged, we s... Read More » -
