Entertaining at Home
SITE AREA: Your Home - Interior Looks
"My most memorable Valentine's Day involved a local sheriff," recalls Gail McCroskey, owner of An Affaire Extraordinaire. "He snuck us into his backyard, where we created a formal dinner for him and his girlfriend in his gazebo on top of a hill. We created a space full of lights, flow...

Natural Wellness at Home
SITE AREA: Your Home - Interior Looks
Daily living with the stress of two income families, an over-full schedule and environmental toxins can wear on a person both physically and mentally. If our homes are supposed to be our sanctuary, shouldn't we put a little energy into making that space better for our bodies and our s...

Valentine's Day Disasters
SITE AREA: Family - Family Features
Have you ever been tricked by Saint Valentine? Have you ever bought flowers and candy, made reservations at the most romantic restaurant in town, worn your most flattering outfit and rented a limousine, only to find yourself on the wrong end of a date-night disaster? Or worse, have yo...

Kids and Mood Disorders
SITE AREA: Family - Family Features
We've all experienced a bad mood. Everyone understands that occasionally they're going to have a bad day. As parents we become all too familiar with the symptoms signaling when a family member is about to have one. But what happens when a child has a bad day and keeps having them cons...

Kid's Review
SITE AREA: Family - Family Features
Are you searching for a good book to read? I recommend the 13th book in the "Series of Unfortunate Events" series appropriately titled "The End." This novel in the last book (obviously) in the series by author Lemony Snicket featuring the Baudelaire orphans: Violet, Klaus and Sunny.

Ann on Aging
SITE AREA: Health - Seniors
What a difference between my first trip to "the continent" 16 years ago and my trip to Italy a few months ago. Alas, I'm getting older; at least that's what my body tells me when it fails to regulate itself and I am forced to go in search of a farmacia to remedy the problem. I guess I...

Live Better!
SITE AREA: Health - Focus on your Health
Last month, we talked about adopting a healthy addiction: exercise. Keep putting time aside for your healthy, high-energy, super-toned-body-creating lifestyle. And speaking of time, don't you love that Jiffy Lube slogan? "Got no time? That's plenty." It says a lot about our "crazy-bus...

Movers and Shakers
SITE AREA: Eat, Drink & Play - Entertainment
There are just some things you grow to count on in the movin' and shakin' world of Santa Clarita. Dessert in the Hyatt ballroom will always taste like cheesecake, even if it's called Peach Flan Fondue. Cheri and Don Fleming will always be the first to leave an event so that Don can ge...

Great Finds - The SCV has your Cure for Valentine's Day Boredom
SITE AREA: Eat, Drink & Play - Entertainment
Love. We all want it. More addictive than illegal narcotics and tougher to find, love is the most intense emotion. From the roller coaster ride of a budding romance to the favorite-jeans feel of a long-established relationship, love has led to wars, dethroned kings and inspired poems....

Palatable Passport - February
SITE AREA: Eat, Drink & Play - Entertainment
With food this good, you'll wish that Cupid's mandatory meal out came more than once a year. Yummy "to-go" call-ahead breakfasts Jodi's Breakfast Burrito (scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage or chorrizo, potatoes, cheese and black beans with sides of sour cream, guacamole and salsa). Abb...

The Senior Center Needs your $10
SITE AREA: Eat, Drink & Play - Entertainment
What can $10 buy you these days? Perhaps lunch, or coffee for a couple of days, or maybe a few gallons of gas. It seems like an almost insignificant amount of money when measured against everyday living expenses. But $10 goes a long way at the Santa Clarita Valley Senior Center, which...

Get Out of Town! - Cambria
SITE AREA: Eat, Drink & Play - Get Out of Town
Ladies, please ignore this article. It is for men only. Guys, Valentine's Day is nearly upon us and most of you haven't made any plans yet. Some of you are lazy and some of you consider yourselves conscientious objectors to this so-called holiday. I've fallen into one or both categori...

Super (Clean) Highway
SITE AREA: Business
We see the litter and we shake our heads. Trashy highways are a common sight in Southern California. Even at high speeds, we notice our freeways are a disgrace. Californians love their cars, but they also love fast food and bottled soft drinks, probably the largest trash items thrown ...

Inside Your Money
