This job rarely rewards kindness, which is why I as a mom was simultaneously elated and depressed when I discovered that one of the sweetest women in the world, Myrna Condie, was named the 2009 California Mother of the Year.
If the nicest restaurant you've been to in the last six months served ketchup in packets, it's time for a change. And even if you know the joys of cloth napkins first hand, you're still looking for a deal, right? Attention bargain shoppers: Trade your bland drive-thru fare this month for the finest House Specials from over 30 SCV eateries - all in one spot.
No one would confuse Pardee's VP of community development, Jim Bizzelle, for Santa - which is not to say that Jim can't get his jolly on. Bizzelle, along with Director of Land Development Tom Mitchell and Susie Sheeler, played the vital roles of Santa's Helpers at Carousel Ranch's Santa Day.
Surely you have come across the "make your own mug" kit... You know - the $9.99 "craft" set that includes a plain white coffee mug and a few crummy permanent markers? We both know that your kids deserve better.

Full disclosure: I "heart" Bob Kellar. He's got that cute "cowboy who drinks chardonnay" thing going for him, and he used to be a cop. Bob Kellar with a gun? Now that's hot. (I'll wait for you to complete your brain scrubbing before we move on.)
MB2 raceway will host a "Day of Racing" fundraiser on November 22 with the goal of providing much-needed assistance to the survivors of the recent Sylmar fires.

The sweet aroma of freshly baked cinnamon buns, fragrant winter pine and the familiarity of family and friends evokes inviting memories of annual Christmas gatherings. Where novelty typically cores the quintessential hub of our hectic lives, there is something reassuring about the notion that some things are meant to last.

Publishers' Note: While the title of this piece may seem mildly alarmist, we at Inside SCV Magazine really do believe that the issue discussed here is of major importance to our community. Thank you for taking the time to read it - and thank you in advance for helping keep Santa Clarita strong.
Don't miss the boat; Santa Clarita's biggest New Year's Eve extravaganza - LETMESAIL's Bon Voyage Ball - was a sell out last year. And with good reason...
To ring in 2009, guests will again enjoy delicious food, including hand-passed hors d'oeuvres, a four-course dinner and a scrumptious dessert bar. Swinging music provided by the Bump City Band will encourage party goers to dance all night long.

Like the life-boat loading rules of the Titanic, we will chat about the famous people first (Sorry, Tom Hough. You're well liked enough, but you've got about 22 more letters to climb until you make it to the D list.).

Irving Berlin's "I Love a Piano" is a musical journey through American history. Go back in time via the ragtime rhythms of the early 20th century, the swinging sophistication of the '20s and '30s and the innocent optimism of the 1950s. "White Christmas," "Puttin' on the Ritz" and "There's no Business like Show Business" are just a few of the popular tunes you'll be humming after the show.

October was a month filled with atta-boys/girls and lots of back patting (sometimes flexibly achieved by folks who were both the patter and patee). Nothing new there. However, in a strange twist, most, if not all of it, was more than deserved. Here's the round up...
Most of us are worried about our financial futures. In part, it's because we didn't major in economics. But it goes beyond understanding spread sheets.

For Santa Clarita residents, it has been a busy month.
Let's start with what we only can guess was a major swoon-fest by 30-year-old women who should, let's be honest, have gotten over their crushes by now. Seriously. Former star of "Saved by the Bell" and current hottie Mark-Paul Gosselaar recently previewed "Raising the Bar," TNT's new legal drama, with some pals (including Chris Schauble of "Today in L.A.") at All Corked Up.
