My Fire Evacuation Drama
Last Thursday my family was evacuated due to a fire (the Rancho Palos Verdes Fire). The fire began at 8pm about 2 miles from our house and by 9pm it was raging up the canyon directly next to us. We actually had no idea. We were in bed getting our girls ready for bed, reading [...]
Dr. Andrew Weil Baby Products
Dr. Andrew Weil is known for preventative care, as well as, combing nature with medicine. He brought the same philosophy to a line of baby products that are natural in form, safe (BPA free), functional, as well as incredibly stylish and fun!

Ponyo, Lovely But Scary
I love Hayao Miyazaki movies, Spirited Away is one of my all time favorite movies. So you can imagine my excitement when Ponyo came out so I can share it with my tots. We made a whole day out of it – we had lunch and I even promised she can have popcorn and Coke! [...]
Canvasing the World of Tents and Forts
I’ve officially run out of space in my house for any more tents and play structures. But that didn’t stop me from canvasing the internet for all available options when looking for one for my nephew, who is due in December!! Hey, got to get my sister back for that Dora monstrosity from 2 Christmases [...]

Any thing and any way to get a tot to be interested in science is a good thing! And who isn’t intrigued by Star Wars and all the technology and mystical powers (which, after all, are forms of science)? I am sure your tot will be thrilled and excited to do a Star Wars experiment [...]

First Dog, A Story about Bo
OK enough about Martha’s Vineyard and the Obamas, this will be my last mention but I HAD to share this book because it is so cute and has such a good message. It’s also the most tasteful among all the Obama themed chotchkies and cheesy t-shirts being peddled at every shop. It is about Bo [...]
Tyler and Tallulah Boutique on Martha’s Vineyard
I just got back from my annual Martha’s Vineyard vacation (missed the Obamas by a day!). At Vineyard Haven is a new store, Tyler and Tallulah, which is by far one of the most fabulous girls clothing store I have ever seen. They carry all European designers – their buyer is not only a children’s [...]
Silk Ruffle Dress
I just got back from a 2 week vacation with my family and it was wonderful and precious to spend 24/7 with my tots. Sure there were times my nerves were tested but with my normally busy schedule, there are days I hardly have time to cuddle with them, much less play with them. And [...]
