Saturday, Feb 16, 2013

I have been sharing with you an “ABC Adventure” of the Santa Clarita Valley, sharing about: Animals, Bicycle Trails, Central Park, Drums, Education, and Family Dinner in the Santa Clarita Valley. This week, however, I am taking a quick break from the series to share a few thoughts about love and...

ABCs of the SCV: F is for Family Dinner
Saturday, Feb 9, 2013

Our “ABC” adventure has thus far included animals, bicycle trails, Central Park, drums and education. Now for something yummy: family dinners in the Santa Clarita Valley. Toward the end of last year, we decided as a family to  commit to family dinners – primarily at home, with all of us sitting...

We’re almost one-fifth of the way through the ABCs of the Santa Clarita Valley with “A for Animals,” featuring details on various places in the SCV to see animals, “B for Bicycle Trails,” “C for Central Park” and “D for Drums.” This week: E is for Education. I know many families...

Wow! It’s already week four of the ABCs of the Santa Clarita Valley.

ABCs of the SCV: B is for Bike Trails
Saturday, Jan 12, 2013

Last week I kicked off the ABCs of the Santa Clarita Valley with “A is for Animals,” featuring details on various places in the SCV to see animals. This week I continue the series with “B is for Bike Trails.” The extensive trails and paseos in Santa Clarita are one of my favorite aspects of the...

ABCs of the SCV: A is for Animals
Saturday, Jan 5, 2013

This week, I kick off the ABCs of the Santa Clarita Valley, which will run for 26 weeks as I focus on a different aspect of the SCV from A to Z. Since I am a mama of two little ones (age 3 and under), my ABCs of the SCV will have a family perspective, but not one that is too heavy-handed. I suspect I...

Let’s Make 2013 Magical
Saturday, Dec 29, 2012

Sometimes the daily grind and patterns of our lives can begin to make us feel like we are just going through the motions, shuttling between different errands and commitments – hardly aware and awake to the moments before us. In response to this, sometimes we feel like we are waiting for something special...

Radical Gift-Giving Idea or Plain Common Sense?
Saturday, Dec 22, 2012

Somewhere along the way, when I was either in high school or just started college, my family started a radical, new Christmas tradition: thrift store-resale or garage sale-yard sale gifts only. Yes, I said “only.” Even without being a wealthy family – my father was a minister and my mother...

In response...
