UPDATE: Congratulations to winner Giselle of Sherman Oaks, CA! I’ve often wondered if my children share their shoe-obsession with other kids their age.. Or are they just innately fashion-forward, trendy and mildly obsessed with foot coverings? My daughter has not left a shoe store empty-handed.. Well, ever. Since the tender age of 1, she has [...]

For the past year, my three-year-old daughter Shelby has been inexplicably obsessed with rain gear.  We live in Southern California so justifying the purchase of full rain attire and accoutrements anytime from June-September is virtually impossible.  As the winter months approached, I knew that if I was ever going to get her rain boots, this was my [...]

As I packed the kids’ audition bag the other day, I reached for one of my daughter’s sippy cups out of sheer habit. I would never want to be stuck in a waiting room with my two year old daughter without a cold drink. She would view this as reasonable grounds for a tantrum or [...]

When it comes to my daughter, I’m admittedly a skin care fanatic. Likely because I wasn’t one myself growing up on the beaches of Southern California and suffered from more than my fair share of sun burns thanks to an unwise teen-inspired concoction of baby oil and iodine. Don’t ask. Fortunately, this new generation is [...]
