Inspiring Event- Green Festival San Francisco

This weekend I had an amazing time at the Green Festival in San Francisco. It was inspiring to see so many businesses and consumers filling up two warehouses at Fort Mason, all of whom care about our impact on our environment and are trying to make a difference. There were tons of booths with exciting sustainable, eco-friendly products and … [Read more...]



Not the Bounce House! Free Samples of Confidence for Moms

You're at another birthday party at the ever more popular bouncy house party place and your kid is begging you to come jump with him... Of course! I love to have fun with my kids and get silly bouncing around with them. Problem? You forgot you've had 3 cups of coffee and squeezed out more than one kid in the past couple years. Almost all moms … [Read more...]



Beautiful Childhood for All #Blog4Peace

As I watched these two best friends walk along a beautiful natural path without any cares in the world except where and how many frogs they might find... it occurs to me that not every child has a clean, safe place to explore.  Nor does everyone have the kind of friend they can tell everything to or just enjoy the peaceful silence of each … [Read more...]



Pet Care During Busy School Seasons

I just admitted on my pet blog that I have neglected my dog.  I am an avid animal lover and constantly promoting causes to make changes to help animals, so how can this be? It's an important topic and I wanted to share here as well. We've been so busy with school classes, field trips, work schedules, doctor appointments, etc, etc, that … [Read more...]



Is Your Attention Ever Undivided, Mom?

Today was a day to just let the kids stay home.  It's hard in our fast paced world not to feel guilty about relaxing. Especially if it's normally a work or school day.  This morning everything I asked of my kids was a battle or an argument. They argued with each other when they weren't arguing with me. Somehow we managed to get a … [Read more...]



McDonald’s, an Industry Leader of Health? #McDTour #Sponsored

I went behind the scenes, to the mysterious beyond (behind the counter of McDonald's) on the McDonald's Field to Restaurant Tour I am being compensated by McDonald’s for my participation in this campaign as part of the Mom It Forward BloggerNetwork. Regardless, I always give my honest opinions. Full disclosure here. On Friday Sept 19th … [Read more...]



The Secret World Behind McDonald’s #McDTour #sponsored

I have never been a fan of fast food.  I grew up eating pretty healthy and maybe that is why I never acquired a taste for burgers and fried food. In high school I even wrote McDonald's a letter as part of a school debate assignment, telling them all the reasons I thought they did more bad than good and accused them of contributing to … [Read more...]



Unforgettable Family Fun at The Greatest Show on Earth

Like a little kid, I was bouncing up and down, so eager to get in to see the Greatest Show on Earth! It didn't take long to get in and to find our seats. We came early for the promise of walking into the ring to see some of the animals up close. I was secretly hoping to get to ride an elephant! I remember getting to do so in an actual circus tent … [Read more...]

Ringling Bros & Barnum & Bailey Discount Tickets

Who Wouldn't Want to Go to the Circus?! It's August and that means the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey are here in the Bay Area! I don't know who's more excited, me or my kids. I'd have to say me because they have never been to a circus and I at least have some idea of what to expect. I've literally been bouncing up and down like a … [Read more...]
