Homemade Play Clay

Every opportunity I get I introduce our 9 month old to sensory experiences. Everything in the world is new to him and I love watching him discover and learn. This morning I whipped up a batch of play clay he can squish through his fingers, mold, poke, and throw. I’ve been meaning to buy some… Read More Homemade Play Clay

Nancy’s Chopped Salad

My husband and I have been going to La Pizzeria Mozza for years. When Mario Batali, Joe Bastianich, and Nancy Silverton team up you know the food is going to be good. This restaurant has one of the best pizzas in the Los Angeles area, and we’re picky about pizza. But I digress. This post isn’t… Read More Nancy’s Chopped Salad

Healthy Pumpkin Pancakes for Baby

The first few pancakes I make are always “mess-ups.” Maybe the pan isn’t hot enough. Maybe I get impatient. Whatever the reason, I always get a little bit of pancake to eat while I continue cooking. When I first tasted these I expected them to be bland. Afterall, I’m making a healthy breakfast for my… Read More Healthy Pumpkin Pancakes for Baby

Six Ways to Raise a Reader

If  you haven’t been taking your baby to the library you should. There is no such thing as “too young,” so I encourage you to start now. P.W. and I went to the Santa Monica Public Library for Story Time yesterday and had so much fun. The room was packed with babies aged 0-17 months.… Read More Six Ways to Raise a Reader

Saffron Fregula with Potatoes and Peas

This recipe is meant to be a primi course, as most pastas are, but it’s very filling and could certainly be a one dish meal. We paired it with an arugula and parmesan salad with fresh heirloom tomatoes and burrata cheese. Although my picture hardly does it justice, it is a very pretty dish with… Read More Saffron Fregula with Potatoes and Peas

Fitbit Flex vs. Fitbit Charge HR: Why the Flex Wins

We are officially a Fitbit family. A few weeks ago, I bought the Fitbit Charge HR for my husband. He loves it. It tracks his steps, distance, calories burned, floors climbed, heart rate, and monitors his sleep. Before he even opened the packaging, I was jealous. I went back and forth between wanting the Charge… Read More Fitbit Flex vs. Fitbit Charge HR: Why the Flex Wins

Father’s Day Photo Shoot

Trying to to decide what to do for Father’s Day this year? Why not stage a photo shoot in a new tie for Dad? This is a fun twist on the traditional “tie for Father’s Day” idea. These pictures were far from what I envisioned, but I’m actually very pleased with how well they turned… Read More Father’s Day Photo Shoot

Product Review: Reishe Chocolate Coconut Milk Elixir

I have a sweet tooth. I’m pretty sure I get about 17 servings of fruit every day. That may not be a good thing, but I figure at least I’m eating whole, natural, unprocessed foods. Leave it to me to buy this chocolate drink while looking for vegetable juice at Whole Foods. In the end,… Read More Product Review: Reishe Chocolate Coconut Milk Elixir

Gabriella’s Kitchen Skinnypasta Review

Last weekend my family was killing time on Montana Ave while we waited for a restaurant to open. Anyone with a baby and an early bedtime can relate. Anyway, we bumped into a food truck promoting “skinnypasta” and they asked us if we’d like a sample to take home. Here I am, one week later,… Read More Gabriella’s Kitchen Skinnypasta Review

Fourth of July Cake

This is the Fourth of July treat I make for our family every year. It is incredibly rewarding when you slice in and see the vibrant, perfect layers. When the light, fluffy, moist, and pleasantly rich cake melts in your mouth you’ll be in heaven. An excellent “show stopper” for your holiday bash, this dessert… Read More Fourth of July Cake
