That Severed Head
Roan may be fine with watching Anakin Skywalker cut an evil droid in half with a lightsaber, but I doubt he’d be fine with me telling him that last week a severed human head was found just feet from the dog park we take Ned to every day.
I like to be honest and expose Roan to as much as I can. I don’t speak to him in that sing songy voice like he’s some subservient idiot. But...
Star Wars Love Song/Star Wars Ballet
Roan got the Lego Death Star for Christmas and I wrote about it here: http://talesofarealhollywoodmom.tumblr.com/post/15006802373/a-death-star-lego-christmas

No sooner does Steve get home from working hard all day at his...

At the moment he’s enjoying a smoothie made with coconut milk, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries and… unbeknownst to him Collard Greens, Spinach, Chia seeds and Kale.
Thank GOD he...
Resolutions
Today my friend Tanya invited me and Roan to come swimming with her and Ava to celebrate the gorgeous January 1st in LA. It felt so good to sit in the sun soaking up some Vitamin D. While the kids swam and interacted with a very old Jack Lalane type man who was swimming laps,
Tanya and I got to talking, as we always do, and landed on the subject of our goals for 2012. After bantering on about...
