Last week was Healthy Child Healthy World Week and concerned parents and educators across the country hosted parties to teach friends and neighbors how to create a healthier, non-toxic home. I hosted a party at my house on Tuesday with my MomsLA partner Sarah Auerswald. We were lucky enough to have Rachel Sarnoff, CEO and Executive Director of Healthy Child Healthy World, on hand to talk about why we should take the 5 Easy Steps to make the environment better …
I am not a psychologist… but I’m married to one. With all the hoopla over the TIME Magazine Cover (most of it having little to do with the actual content of the story – why don’t people read before they start pontificating), the Mommy Wars it’s kind of stirring, the controversy of the topic and the horror some people feel that a young, beautiful Mom (our ‘own’ Jamie Lynne) would pose for such a provocative photo… I went to my …
This is a Guest Post by K. Pearson Brown A Family Getaway to Maui It’s true that visitors fall in love with the beauty and hospitality of Maui and never want to leave. The second largest of the Hawaiian Islands offers a multitude of family friendly accommodations, sites and activities alluring to even the most jaded tourist. Paradise Found The Fairmont Kea Lani, (www.fairmont.com/kealani) luxury resort on the pristine sands of Polo Beach on Maui’s south side features 22-acres of …
It began with a moment. If I could only lose 10 more. Then I would be happy. Then I would fit into my dress/jeans/ideal of what I think I should look like. I would be more confident, I would try new things, I can actually go out wearing a tank top without feeling so self-conscious…. As women, most of us have thought about our weight and body image more times than we’d like to admit. While it’s best that we …
I was recently introduced to Sanuk Footwear. There are styles for Moms and Kids in their Spring and Summer 2012 Collection. Sanuk is the Thai word for “fun”, which makes a lot of sense when you see their shoes. They look like they’re made for fun! Plus these super comfy flip flops are made from Yoga Mat material, which is very cool. Sarah Auerswald is a co-Founder of MomsLA, a Community of over 100 of the Top Mom Bloggers in …
Are Your Pants Hot Pink Or Are You Just Happy To See Me?! While I am best known for wearing only black, grey, white and beige, I am totally in LOVE with this Spring’s fashion trend of brightly-colored jeans! The idea of committing to a bright color scared me, but I loved the idea of wearing “fun” pants! I loved how they looked on mannequins, on the celebs, in store windows and on everyone who was sporting them! It was …
1. It’s sunny all the time. What this means is that you often feel like you should be doing something better than the thing you’re actually doing. Because the actual thing you’re doing is sitting inside hunched over a computer when outside birds are singing and everyone you see from your little cavelike portal is riding their bikes, unicycles, skateboards or wearing bathing suits on their way to the beach to rollerblade, segueway ride, body surf, boogie board or or …
Over the weekend, I, along with nearly 9,000 other people, participated in the Inaugural Hollywood Half Marathon, and it was an amazing experience. I have been blogging about the Race as the weeks led up to the day on Saturday, April 7th, when we all headed to Universal City and ran down the hill into Hollywood – and then back up again. And I will tell you that no matter how I trained or blogged, nothing could have prepared me …
As the day (fast) approaches when we’ll run the Hollywood Half Marathon, I wanted to mention the women from MomsLA who’ll be there with me on April 7th at the crack of dawn. Andrea Fellman of Savvy Sassy Moms is to blame gave us all the idea to do this back in January. Jeannine Chanin-Penn of xoj9 decided to give it a go, even though, like me, she wasn’t a runner before. Laura Filipowicz of Her Review is never one to …
Imagine yourself with a well-organized closet and an array of chic outfits styled using clothes in your own closet. For most busy moms, this sounds too good to be true. But, it’s actually possible with the help of stylist Robin Saperstein of High Heel in a Haystack. Robin is the go-to stylist for celebrities (actress/moms Denise Richards and Ali Landry are clients) and several well-known mom bloggers. You may have seen her makeover of MomsLA contributor, Andrea Fellman, of Savvy …
