I don’t know about you, but it’s been a week for me. I’m tired. Car troubles. Happy toddler moments. Sad toddler moments. Tantrums. Breakdowns. And we even threw in Daylight Savings Time. Almost every day this week I’ve been saying by dinnertime, “I need a […]
Since 2019, the Dr. Seuss Experience has been touring throughout the USA and Canada bringing the author’s beloved characters to life through a unique pop-up experience. Their current stop for the holidays? Santa Monica. Although I’ve always been a casual Dr. Seuss fan, Mabel adores […]
(*Editor’s Note: I was thrilled to be invited to a sound healing bath with Roxie Sarhangi. Alas, it was the same weekend we were in Solvang! I’m so excited to introduce you to first-time contributor (but long time friend), Selena Hughes. xo, Mary) The words […]
Universal Studios was never on my radar growing up. Despite being raised in Pasadena, we were all about Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farm. It took dating (and marrying) a San Fernando Valley boy to get acquainted with the Entertainment Capital of LA. I have such […]

When I first visited Glen Ivy Hot Springs last year, I knew instantly that it was something special. Nestled in the Temescal Valley on the outskirts of Corona, Glen Ivy Hot Springs is the perfect opportunity for guests to get away from it all for […]
It’s no secret I love live theatre. While I’ve attended countless plays and musicals, this week I’ll have the pleasure of seeing Lee Blessing’s A Walk in the Woods. Yet, with a twist. Instead of a traditional stage production, LA Theatre Works is presetting the […]
As the year comes to a close, that usually means one thing for me: my word of the year. While I’ve chosen my word for 2019, I’ve been reflecting quite a bit on my 2018, which was happiness. As I’ve had numerous ups and downs […]
If you’re still sad there was no Stranger Things premiere this year for Halloween, rest assured. To fill that void as we await another season, leave it to Los Angeles’ Rockwell Table and Stage to take us to the upside down. The popular series of […]
