Summer Goals Met: Art + Tech with KUBO and Splash & Bubbles

Published on September 16, 2016

Tweet We are already in school for a month, Labor Day has come and gone, but the fun memories linger on from what felt like a super lazy summer. I didn’t make The Critter do summer camp, but secretly made a pact with myself that we would do some fun, stealthily educational and creative things […]


Fall Kicks Off with “The Bar” and the SEC

Published on September 23, 2015

Tweet One of the things that I’ve always loved about Beverly Hills is that it’s not obsessed with football. I chose a husband for this reason – during the year of courtship well into the first years of our marriage, I was blessed to call back home and tell my friends who are football or […]


What I Did Over Summer Vacation

Published on September 9, 2015

Tweet In two days the Critter will have been back to school for an entire month, yet in my mind I cannot end summer until after Labor Day. We had exactly two months of summer this year and it just was not enough! It seems that it only just started, and now I’m reflecting upon […]

Published on September 9, 2013

Tweet So y’all know how much fun we had with the HUB at Halloween. As a rule, I have a costume for each day of the week leading up to the big day, thus My Perfect Husband has declared an embargo of all Halloween stuff in the house before October 1st. Costume creators, wait not, […]


Sid the Science Kid premiere – Hooky in Hollywood

Published on March 23, 2013

Tweet While it certainly would have been a worthwhile event for the Critter to play hooky and skip school, we had the good fortune that his school had what is mysteriously referred to as a “Pupil Free Day”, so no such infractions had to be committed. It was a great morning in Hollywood for a […]

Published on February 24, 2013

Tweet I always love the buzz in my neighborhood on this weekend. It’s the most glamorous time of the year, as we celebrate the engine that runs things around here. As I watch the Red Carpet, I LOVE that stars now bring their moms to the the Oscars, because we all know who REALLY started […]

Published on August 13, 2012

Tweet < Although I'm well past the stage of being interested in breastfeeding, I couldn't pass up an invitation to attend something called Boobiepalooza. The aptly named event sponsored by Pump Station and the Berlins promised to be a fun festival to promote education and awareness to SoCal moms. Since my pal Jamie was going […]


Mary Poppins at the Ahmanson for a Great price!

Published on July 31, 2012

Tweet I am beyond thrilled to get tickets to see this while my mom is here. How wonderful will it be to see this classic of my childhood with my family? I can still remember seeing the Disney movie when I was a tiny child – I LOVED it! There’s a fantasitc promo right now, […]


Two Evil Queens + Mirror Mirror Premiere = Wicked Fun!

Published on April 6, 2012

Tweet I was feeling a bit guilty for leaving the Perfect Husband and the Critter home to attend the premiere of Mirror Mirror with my two main gays, it being a “family” movie and all. A ski trip for my hubs and kidlet had been postponed, and my plus two had already been invited. Truth […]


Peter Pan returns with Jake and the Neverland Pirates

Published on February 8, 2012

Tweet The Critter and I had a discussion a couple of weeks ago that made me realize that although he has watched Jake and the Neverland Pirates since it premiered, he doesn’t know who Peter Pan is. He challenged me on my opinion that Peter Pan is the boss of Neverland, thinking that Jake is […]
