I will rave on and on about giving birth to La Jolla Girl in Hong Kong to basically anyone that will listen.  The hospital was more like a hotel than a hospital with amazing food and a kind staff. I’ll write a post about it some day.  The one thing I didn’t have was a nice hospital gown.  In fact, I had the stereotypical ugly, “bare it all” kind. Former La Jollan, Rachel Zinny, saw [...]

It’s been a while, but there aren’t many sports that I like better than Wakeboarding.  It’s just that fun, seriously.  I was pleasantly surprised to know that there is a way to wakeboard here in San Diego without all the hassles involved.  Usually, it takes knowing someone with a boat or renting one.  Then after that you need the equipment and someone that knows what they are doing. Wake Diva is San Diego’s only all girls [...]

I‘ve been pretty careful to ask La Jolla Girl’s pediatricians on both continents (we used to live part time in Hong Kong) if her vaccines have thimerosal in them.  The answer was always no, so I just assumed that the flu vaccines in the US all didn’t have any.  That is not the case.  Thanks to my Twitter friend @blissnine, who owns a concierge service in San Diego for pregnant women (www.blissnine.com), I read this article from [...]
