Stay home, stay safe. Alone, together. Stop the spread. SHUT.UP. I say this with deep concern and love. TRULY. It’s no secret I don’t write here much anymore… mostly because I’m too busy doing real things with my daughters these days.

CBS Los Angeles: Fabulous ways I fool my kids (to eat healthy).
Last week’s CBS Los Angeles‘ “FAB mom on 2” segment was all about kicking our minds into the right direction for how to get kids to eat healthy.

Finding the Force at Disneyland: Episode I. {video}
Not so long ago (this last month), in a galaxy not that far away (right here, actually), a mom of two kids under the age of 5 was feeling…. well…. bleh. Yes, ok I’m talking about myself. I ain’t gonna lie: Now that the busy days of holidays are here – and my little people…
