Beaumont's
On a whim, we hit Beaumont's for an early Sunday afternoon supper this summer, and it was firing on all cylinders.       Great menu selection, great service, great food quality, …

Terranea Resort
   This has to be one of the best local treasures we've discovered in ages.  My husband and I wound up here after a mishap with our original plans for a weekend getaway to celebrate …

Dragon Martial Arts
Our preschooler has been begging to try martial arts for over a year. We told her she could start when she was four, and she held us to our word! For her birthday, she asked to do karate, so we looked …

Little Bee: A Novel
I'll give Little Bee points for drawing me in - it was a compelling and super fast read. The main character is very well done, however I couldn't muster any empathy or even much likability for …
reviewed The Lion King (musical). December 28, 2010
posted in Broadway Musical Reviews
The Lion King
The Lion King blew me away the first time I saw it (probably around 2005 or so), but after going again recently (fall 2010), I found it slow and tedious in parts. I think this was largely due to seeing …

Big Bear Cool Cabins
We used this service as first-time visitors to Big Bear Lake, which is in driving distance to where we live in California.  This was also our first time using a vacation rental service to book a …

Waterfield Muzetto Vertical Laptop Bag

Overall, Mangiamo is a quality restaurant that works for entertaining friends or family, which was why we went.  This review is only based off of one experience, so bear that in mind.  We also …

reviewed Delta Airlines. August 17, 2010
posted in UP UP & Away!
Delta Airlines
I think it's fair to say that most people's expectations of airlines are pretty low these days.  We pay more for less, but it's a necessary evil so you just sort of take it.  Being …

Boot Scoot Bikes
I recently learned about the idea of balance bikes for young kids (also called peddle-less bikes).  Basically, they're bikes without peddles, intended for kids to learn balance prior to tackling …

Princess Bean's Messy World
This was a fun Saturday outing, and a great chance to share a story with my daughter that demonstrated a different kind of princess.  The intended message is that you don’t have to look or …

Four Daughters Kitchen
General: why is this unique and different?   Perfect vibe, atmosphere, and decor, set things off to an awesome start.  Very "beachy" - just what I expect most South Bay spots …

Inglorious Poster
What a fantastic film!  I see a lot of movies, but not very many "films", if you know what I mean.  This one was an awesome ride, that ranged from incredibly tense to laugh out loud …

Avatar
Well, here goes nothing.  I've not really done movie reviews before, and honestly am intimidated to a degree by the major film buffs who are incredibly adept at breaking down plots, themes, and …
reviewed Baby Delight Supreme Snuggle Nest. August 19, 2009
Snuggle Nest
I probably should just write a review re: co-sleeping and that would get to most of the reasons I liked this product. Meantime, I'll just say that this gadget is quite useful for the first couple …

Illustrated representaiton of the Doula concept
I've been procrastinating this review for quite some time now, mainly because I'm not sure if I can do this rich topic full justice.  It's a truly multifaceted subject matter, with endless potential …

Family Time album cover
What a GREAT album!  I so crave great music that my daughter enjoys as much as I do... it's a constant challenge and continuous search.  As a life long, relatively rabid Bob Marley fan, it was …

I'd be very curious to know if American Idol's producers could've fathomed finding a talent of this caliber and who would grow to be an artist with incredible longevity and relevance long after taking …
reviewed BabyBjorn Infant Carrier. April 18, 2009
BabyBjorn
This infant carrier must be one of the most popular items on most baby registries, and for good reason.  As my due date grew nearer, and the shower came and went, the boxes of baby gear began to …

Changeling
You really have to go a ways to lead with Angelina Jolie and be directed by icon Clint Eastwood, and yet create this lame of a film.  Considering the incredibly disturbing nature of the subjects …
reviewed Summer Infant Day & Night Handheld Co.... March 07, 2009
Summer Infant Video Monitor
This is by far one of the most useful items of baby gear we've had in the two years since our daughter arrived on the scene.  At first it felt pricey - and actually, my husband gave me some grief …
reviewed True Blood. December 27, 2008
True Blood Logo

2008 Olympics Opening Ceremonies
I really may not even have the words to explain how incredibly beautiful and amazing this show was.  And I'm a pretty wordy person.  You sort of expect to get swept up and inspired by these …
