Best Swim School in Orange County: Goldfish Swim School
I love summer and spending long, hot, lazy days at the beach or lounging by a pool. What I don’t love is the stress around water with my little ones. Any and all parents know the stress I am talking about. The fear that we will be distracted just long enough for us to miss them sinking under the water. And that fear is validated. Every year in the US, 3,572 people die from drowning. Nine hundred and forty-five of them are children. Children account for one out of four drowning deaths, making it the number one cause of injury related deaths among children ages 1-4. I definitely don’t want…

TITLE: Earthquake Insurance: Considerations for Every Californian Homeowner – and Condo Owner
All Californians with equity in their homes should consider how they protect that asset from the devastation of a major earthquake. Condo owners, who are particularly vulnerable to earthquakes, should examine the coverage they have at the HOA level – if any – and potentially consider a new alternative available to them. Natural disasters are one of the most feared, but compelling ideas in society. Think of the countless movies starring The Rock; where he comes face to face with volcanoes, snow storms, hurricanes, and yes, you guessed it: earthquakes. Why? Because they are scary, other worldly and can do some damage to life as we know it. But most…

Balance Bikes: The Best Way to Teach Your Child to Ride A Bike
We are now done teaching child #3 how to (successfully) ride his bike… at the ripe age of 4. In fact he just turned 4 almost exactly 1 month ago. We had #2 riding her bike at the age of about 4.5. And our first was riding at the age of 3!!! No, we don’t spend an extraordinary amount of time riding. No we don’t go out every day. And no it doesn’t take longer than about 30 minutes to get it down. The secret? Balance Bikes!!!! There are different brands you can use. Strider bikes (which is what we have), Shwinn, Banana and more. But, I don’t really think…

Finding the Light in the Darkest of Times
It seems that every day we wake up to find the world a little crazier than when we went to sleep. In the last week California has gone from buying an obscene amount of toilet paper unnecessarily, to hoarding food, to schools closing, to social distancing and now full on house arrest and everything shutting down. The world stopped just like that. People are working from home, if at all. We keep hearing about more infected and life just seems crazy, like a strange dream void of reality. I didn’t even know we were capable of doing what is now being done. And yet, here we find ourselves, toilet paperless…

Social Distancing
Corona Virus social distancing got you down? Are you now homeschooling kids without feeling adequately prepared? Going stir crazy but want to stay away from the masses? I hear you loud and clear. I think for many of us we are still a little unsure what we are supposed to be doing. We don’t know what this virus is exactly, or what to expect; and because of that we aren’t really sure how to live our lives. Should we be stock-piling toilet paper and canned goods, or will life be back to normal in a couple of weeks and all this chaos will have been quite unnecessary? We will just…
