The Aquaterra Spa At The Surf & Sand Res...
Published on Thursday, April 14, 2011 by caryn With Mother's Day approximately one month away, I'm thinking about how to celebrate the women in my life who I admire for their example to me as a mom.

To give another mother a few hours ... Read More » -

Get Local: Lazy Dog Cafe Opens In Cerritos, C...
Published on Wednesday, March 9, 2011 by caryn Finding that balance between kid-friendly and gourmet is challenging. Because my husband and I tend to be foodies, we would opt to eat at home before sacrificing the taste and diversity we've come to expect at a nice restaurant. Most restaurants that offer the type of food my husband and I enjoy, are not the least bit kid-friendly. That's not to say that we have... Read More » -

Get Local: Endless Food and Fun
Published on Wednesday, March 2, 2011 by caryn During the winter, I find it particularly challenging to find creative, interesting things to do with my children.

Gleaning Culinary Inspiration For Family Meal...
Published on Wednesday, February 23, 2011 by caryn It's almost March and our resolve to cook *most* of our meals (as opposed to going out) has been mostly successful. However, I am personally beginning to lose motivation, since I'm rotating through the same meals each week.

Published on Wednesday, February 16, 2011 by caryn It's going to be a wet week here in Southern California, but the good news is, there are plenty of indoor activities to keep the kids active and entertained.

Published on Monday, February 14, 2011 by caryn My foodie husband and I love to eat out. Unfortunately, our gourmet preferences and small children limit how often we can dine out.
