We also enjoy taking our kids to celebrate Easter Fun at some of our favorite places to visit. With Easter quickly approaching, l wanted to share with you a few amazing Easter Events that would be perfect for families with children of all ages: The Los Angeles Zoo & …
I have to start out by saying that I have loved Burke Williams for years. I’ve never really been a spa person (it’s hard when you’re a Never Nude), but I was converted when a friend came to town and said we had to go there because it was simply fabulous. In my opinion, she was right. When Burke Williams asked the MomsLA founders, Elise, Sarah, and Me, to be their guests for a fabulous day at the spa we …
I’m very pleased to interview my good friend, Los Angeles Unified School Board Member, Tamar Galatzan. Tamar and have known each other since 1992, even before we were moms! My husband and I are proud to have been among Tamar’s first supporters during her successful campaign for the school board. Tamar is a busy mom who, in addition to serving on the LAUSD board, works as a neighborhood prosecutor for the L.A. City Attorney and runs marathons. She represents District …
“Mommy, I hope we get to do the piggy race again today.” And so do I. Because who doesn’t love a shuttle run involving squeaky piggies? Or watching a bunch of four and five year-olds try to score a goal or run the bases? It’s like Who’s On First? in the best way possible. I get to watch my son do all of these things through Lionheart Fitness Kids, an LA based sports program for kids ages three and up. …
I’m always honored to be part of events that focus on the empowerment of women, especially through my artwork. On March 2nd, Casa 0101 Theater held a reception for the art exhibit “Sacred Feminine” at their new location in Boyle Heights. I was one of their featured artists along with Letty Bellavida, Emilia Garcia, Cynthia Guillen, Josefina Lopez, Pola Lopez, Martha Mejia, Susan Molina, Angela Ortiz, Lilia Ramirez, Melissa Ramirez, Danelle Rivas, Elisa Salcedo and Julia Zarate. The exhibit covers …
This past Saturday, little miss Marisol and I headed out to the westside to attend Tall Tales: Myths of Magical Trees, a children’s theater production at the Geffen Playhouse. Marisol had been so excited for this adventure that for ten days, from the moment we marked her calendar with a big tree sticker, she would tell me, “Mommy, I can’t wait to see the magic tree play!” To both our delight, she was not disappointed. Tall Tales: Myths of Magical Trees is only …
Ever been curious about Artesia’s Little India, but weren’t sure where to start? That’s how I felt, until I had the opportunity to take a food bloggers’ tour of Little India with food blogger (and local mom) Rashmi Nigam of Yum Kid and Food Bloggers Los Angeles. In Little India, a city’s worth of delicious food is waiting for you, and it’s surprisingly accessible and family-friendly too. Little India is the name for a stretch of Pioneer Blvd. in Artesia, generally …
Welcome to the Land of Fame and Excess, to paraphrase Miley Cyrus. You might think nothing could impress people in Los Angeles, especially during Oscar week, but even Los Angelenos are wowed by the size of the Super Yacht Serene anchored off the coast of Venice Beach this week. The Serene, according to The Dutch Eye, is owned by Yuri Scheffler, a Russian man whose fortune comes from Stolichnaya vodka, and is said to have cost $300 million dollars. Standing …
The next time you drive down Pico in West LA you may notice it’s starting to look a little nicer. This weekend, Pico Boulevard will be repaved between Westwood and Sepulveda, a much needed fix. Not only that, thanks to an initiative by the Westside Neighborhood Council, 70 trees were planted on Pico in Cheviot Hills earlier this month. More than 200 volunteers showed up to make that happen. Here’s a video from Plant Pico Day. Yvonne Condes is the …
