Friday, October 3rd, 2008Okay, parents, hold on to your witches’ hats, because Halloween falls on a Friday this year. That’s right; there’s no school the next day, so our lame old “Time to go home, have to get up early in the morning” line will fall on deaf ears. Or, more precisely, sugared-up ears.
If the drug stores and [...]
Recommended Family-Friendly Halloween Events in Los Angeles, California
Thursday, October 2nd, 2008It’s October! Can you feel the anticipation in the air? A family with young children knows that Halloween is at least as major a holiday as is Christmas and New Years Eve. I don’t know about you, but in our house, serious discussions about What to Go As This Year start right after Labor [...]
Don’t Be a Sasquatch in a Swimsuit
Monday, September 29th, 2008Swimsuit season may be over and many of you will be growing your winter coat, but what if you get that last minute chance to go to Hawaii or the Bahamas? What are you going to do? You certainly don’t want to look like a Sasquatch in your swimsuit.
Hair removal isn’t exactly an issue that [...]
Funny Hotel Commercial
Friday, September 26th, 2008I saw this funny hotel commercial and had to share.
Interview with a Traveling Mama - Kim Allen-Niesen
Thursday, September 25th, 2008Not all the interviewed traveling mamas here are also travel writers. I’d like to introduce the world to Kim Allen-Niesen. She used to be a super high-powered lawyer, but (a familiar tale) found that her demanding 24/7 career path didn’t mesh at all with the demands of parenthood. Since stepping off that treadmill, however, [...]
Mamas on the Move: BlogWorldExpo 08
Sunday, September 21st, 2008I’m sitting here at the Las Vegas airport reflecting on my weekend with DesertMama at #BWE08. What is BWE? It is Blog World Expo, an annual forum where traditional and new media gather together with tech companies to exchange ideas, sample new products, and network.
I’m the big dork of the tech world and just found [...]
Martha Stewart’s Mexico Journey
Wednesday, September 17th, 2008I don’t know about the other mamas, but I love Martha Stewart and all she represents. I think it is so awesome that she devoted an entire show to the Blogosphere. She’s upgraded to the Wordpress format, just like us. Her blog offers fabulous tips and tricks and even has a post on how to [...]
Best Travel Shoes
Tuesday, September 16th, 2008If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my (gulp) almost 40 years on this planet, is that you get what you pay for. That adage applies not only to dining, accommodations and gadgets for travel, but to clothing as well. And shoes — well fuggedaboutit. If you’re wearing a lousy pair of shoes while you’re [...]
Cahootie Review & Giveaway
Friday, September 12th, 2008Remember making cootie catchers in grade school? Those little origami-like finger-toy thingies, where you’d write colors on the outside flaps, numbers on the inside, and you’d ask your friends to “pick one” then spell out the choices, ultimately landing on a pithy fortune like, “You will find a penny today” or “Billy is your boyfriend.”
Well, [...]
Moving Past 9/11 with the Help of Children
Thursday, September 11th, 2008I remember, as a kid, listening as my parents’ friends sometimes talked about where they were when JFK was assassinated. I didn’t understand then what I know now: Horrible, terrifying events in our country’s history can make people feel alone, and we seek connection and togetherness as a way to relate to and get through [...]
