Walking With Dinsoaurs Returns To Southern Ca...
Published on Thursday, September 2, 2010 by caryn I have a hard time getting my mind around the concept of animals weighing 130,000 pounds and towering 36 feet tall. After much anticipation, Walking With Dinosaurs opened at the Honda Center in Anaheim last night. Based on the award-winning BBC TV series, Walking With Dinosaurs had fans roaring with excitement. Walking With Dinosaurs is a spectacular journey back... Read More » -

Have You Heard? South Coast Loves Bloggers!
Published on Friday, July 9, 2010 by caryn I learned how to shop from my mom. As a former New Yorker, she'd buy a new outfit every week during her time as a single woman. Shopping was (and still is) our "thing." I grew up in LA, where there was no shortage of malls. But on those weekends when we would make the trek down the OC, I had to visit South Coast Plaza. A couple of weeks ago, I had the privile... Read More » -

Safe, Soothing Sleep with SootheTIME
Published on Friday, June 11, 2010 by caryn I've never been particularly forthright about the fact that I'm an attachment parent. But I am. And as radical as that may sound, it's really not much different than traditional parenting. Yes, we co-sleep and nurse and discipline with love. But I guarantee that my children will not always sleep with us (my son is the perfect example of a former co-sleeper), n... Read More » -

OffPrice Shopping Challenge
Published on Friday, May 21, 2010 by caryn It's rare for me to purchase something that isn't on sale (unless it's a pair of really cute shoes that I must have). I do a lot of research and price comparison. And I shop at offprice retailers. Earlier this week, I had an opportunity to shop at California's 8th AJWright location before it opened to the public on Thursday. AJWright is a sister in the TJX fa... Read More » -

Private Chefs of Beverly Hills
Published on Friday, April 9, 2010 by caryn My husband and I tend to be foodies, only in that we like really good food. My husband does a majority of the cooking and both of us are always looking for new, interesting recipes with a bit of flare. Most nights, after the kidlets are in bed (and American Idol or Ugly Betty are not on), we watch a variety of shows on the Food Network. Everything from Iron Chef... Read More » -

Pamper Me Fabulous was...well...FABULOUS! I only heard of the event last minute and my number one suggestion for next year is to buy VIP tickets early because they sell out.

I should know better than to hype up an event with my 2 1/2 year old days before it's to occur.
