Published on Saturday, March 31, 2012 by caryn You might have noticed that Rockin' Mama is getting a bit crafty! I'm definitely more analytical by nature, but lately I've been tapping into my creative side, mostly because of my kids. If I had an abundance of time, I'd take a variety of classes to continue exploring my passions for food, photography, and travel. [caption id="attachment_31370" align="aligncen... Read More » -

Nike+ FuelBand Launches In Los Angeles In Tru...
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 » -

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 Monday, February 20, 2012 by caryn Over the weekend, we spent some time at Toys R Us perusing thousands of toys in search of the perfect one (at least for the moment). Both sets of grandparents pitched in to allow my children to pick out a Valentine's Day "treat" and since we'd prefer that the "treat" not be something sugar-aden, we agreed that each of them could pick out something within the confine...

Published on Wednesday, January 25, 2012 by caryn I vaguely remember attending one of my very first musicals with my mother. I was 8 or 9 and the show was Annie...I was hooked! At the time, I didn't know if I simply enjoyed the theater or actually wanted to be a part of it. One improv class in high school set me straight! Every chance I get I'm at the theater. And, it just so happens that one of my very good... Read More » -

Published on Friday, December 16, 2011 by caryn In January, Cirque du Soleil's OVO will debut under the big top at the Santa Monica Pier. If there is any show that would be appropriate for children, I would venture to say it's this one. OVO takes guests into the world of insects as they work, eat, play, and fight.

Bring It On: The Musical
Published on Monday, December 5, 2011 by caryn One of my favorite memories as a young, single woman were those last minute, impromptu visits to the theater (alone, at that). I've always been drawn to the arts, particularly musical theater, and at that time, dreamed of one day seeing a show on Broadway or in London. I've since seen numerous shows both on Broadway and in London, and while both are renowned for t... Read More » -

Published on Friday, November 11, 2011 by caryn Not only is it the most important meal of the day, it's my favorite meal of the day. Perhaps it's because breakfast is the meal where I see the most diversity. Frittatas, scones, muffins, waffles, granola, fruit...Yum! Up until a few years ago, I didn't know much about gluten intolerance and Celiac disease. Now I can list 10 or more people I know personally w... Read More » -
