As an only child, I was often surrounded by adults, entertained myself and listened intently to any adult conversations I was within earshot to. This clearly led to my early development, extensive vocabulary, and desire to converse about mature topics. However, there were times that my mother would say, “Vaya ver al pato…” which means ,“Go look at the duck,” or in other words…scoot. go. get out of here! I was always disheartened but it was probably for the best, as adults do need their conversation time and children do need more than “earmuffs” to block out the inappropriate...
No Halloween Costume, No Problem! Written by Michelle Rivera
It’s not too late to shop for your or your child’s Halloween costume and you can get it today anywhere between 50% to 85% off! You can literally step into any local costume shop in your neighborhood and find great deals on both Halloween costumes and decorations. Now of course there will be less inventory available to you, but it’s still definitely worth going out and seeing what is available, especially with all those great deals! Party stores need to get rid of their Halloween inventory, so that they can begin pushing their holiday inventory instead and seasonal Halloween shops...

What Is Infant Massage? Written by Jade Lee
I have been teaching Infant Massage for a while now and I still get so many people who come to me and ask, what exactly is Infant Massage? My favorite term for Infant Massage is that it is “The Art of Touch.” It is a beautiful form of bonding between a parent and their child and quite simply put it is a form of expressing love. When we as adults want a massage we go and see a massage therapist, but when our babies need a massage, it is us the caregivers who perform it. Therefore, with Infant Massage, the...
Style Fashion Week L.A. (At Downtown’s Vibiana) Written by Abigail Herman
This season’s shows were uh-may-zing! So much so that I’m actually sad writing this– it’s over? Style Fashion Week LA has come a long way since it’s inception (and then re-inception) just four years ago. After the kickoff at LA hotspot Salvage, the real show began Monday night with a hot (think sizzling hot) presentation by Nicolita Swimwear. Break-dancing boys clad entirely in white linen and Cuban fedoras broke the runway ice, followed by darling pin-up gals in suits, also inspired by Havana, with an equal nod to Malibu. Note to self– start going back to the gym. La La Land proved that...

My daughter is almost 3 years old and she has always loved books, but I thought she just happened to be a little bookworm (hence the name of this project), however I was wrong. Every child...

There are some aspects of parenting that you are just not prepared for. Those things that other parents fail to mention and lately I have had a question about one of those things that has been troubling me.
