So... where are you planning to pick up your Christmas tree this year? Instead of frequenting your usual fine tree purveyor, why not try something a little different this year? Why not try something a lot different. You can go to a tree farm or (gasp) a discount super store anytime. T...

Let's Get Organized!
SITE AREA: Your Home - Interior Looks
It's been one of those mornings. You can't find the kids' shoes, you need to gather all the dry cleaning and take it with you and you know your car keys must still be in the ignition of your car. It's a quarter to eight and already you are hours behind schedule. Getting organized woul...

And they Call it Puppy Love
SITE AREA: Family - Pet Care
I recently adopted two Labrador puppies - a brother and sister. The black female and chocolate male came to my house after my youngest son started his second year of college. The adoption was made while my husband was out of town. I like to say I surprised him when he came home, and s...

Kid's Review

Fashion Horoscope - Scorpio
SITE AREA: Beauty - Fashion
You, my brooding Scorpio vixen, are spilling over with potent sexuality, which should not ever be confused with "flashy." A force to be reckoned with, you cloak your magnetism in long sweeping lines that cling in all the right places so as not to overwhelm the less-than-captivating po...

Ann on Aging
SITE AREA: Health - Seniors
I could have entitled this "The Art of Doing Nothing," but it's too structured and too precise. Doin' nuthin' is just that; it's like the feeling that comes with reading, "Huck Finn floatin' down the lazy meandering river, doin' nuthin'." See what I mean? There have been volumes writt...

The Family Therapist is In
SITE AREA: Health - Healthy & Happy
It's the beginning of that eight-week rush to the holiday season. Thanksgiving is almost here. As parents we're gearing up for the mad dash that happens starting in November and ending New Year's Day when we finally collapse out of breath, out of patience, out of time and usually out ...

Photography Expo, Competition and Seminars Give Back in More Ways than One
SITE AREA: Eat, Drink & Play - Entertainment
Cliche-speaking, a picture is worth a thousand words, but on November 5, they'll be worth some quested-after ribbons and much-needed funds to boot. The Santa Clarita Valley's Photographers Association will be hosting their fifth annual Photo Expo and Fall Print Competition at the Hyat...

Golf Tournament to Serve Santa Clarita ALS Patients
SITE AREA: Eat, Drink & Play - Entertainment
To doctors, it's known as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, ALS for short. To most people, it's known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. But to ALS patients and their loved ones, the disease is known more for what it inflicts than by what it is called. ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative diseas...

Inside SCV Singles Regroup and Recharge
SITE AREA: Eat, Drink & Play - Entertainment
If you had told me in February that the Inside SCV Singles events would draw over 500 people to numerous local hotspots all in the name of fun, I would have laughed you out of the room. I was hoping that our first event at Wolfcreek would boast 40 people; instead, we had over 150! Nea...

SITE AREA: Eat, Drink & Play - Entertainment
Every life is its own incredible story. Those words form the motto of veteran entertainment industry producer Brad Sevy's latest project known as Wonderful Lives Productions. But those words are more than a motto. They are, in a sense, the reason behind what Sevy does. They have becom...

Total Financial Makeover
SITE AREA: Business
Here's a holiday riddle for you: What's big, plump, more than you'll ever be able to handle and requires a lot of work to get rid of when the holidays are over? No, it's not Aunt Posey's deep-fried Butterball, lovingly boiled in refreshing peanut oil (although this is a vivid guess). ...
