I was athletic my entire life until my pregnancy. I have always fluctuated plus or minus 5 lbs, but post baby I could not for the life of me get rid of the last 10 or so pounds. I don’t weigh myself, but can guess what I weigh by how my pants fit. As long [...]

I was surprised that on the day I was the preschool volunteer mom, several of the kids were visibly sick. I spent the morning wiping boogers and getting coughed on. I knew I was going to get sick. I woke up feeling absolutely horrible 2 days later. I took some immunity supplements compliments of Whole Foods that I’d [...]

H1N1 is certainly the hot topic these days. Almost every day I hear about someone who knows someone that has come down with H1N1. It’s a little bit scary. As the virus spreads, I wonder if it’s changed the minds of any parents that were against the vaccine in the late summer/early fall. Has [...]

I should put out a disclaimer that before I even started this blog, we used Boogie Wipes. But La Jolla Girl (my 2.5 year old) recently tested all 3 Boogie Wipes scents. Read on to find out which one she picked! A little background first….
I had the opportunity to meet The Boogie Moms, Mindee and [...]

Last Tuesday, Numero Water held a very nice open house to familiarize some of the local bloggers (@rockonmommies, @sandiegomomma, @muffintinmom, @adramaticmommy, @SDatLarge and more) with their zen like products and services. Readers of La Jolla Mom also know that I’m a fan of Numero Water in Little Italy. I can honestly tell you, as some [...]

I‘ve been thinking about morning sickness lately since La Jolla Mom is hosting giveaway for Morning Chicness Bags (see photo, they are super cute). In my case, it wasn’t morning sickness, but rather all day sickness. I didn’t vomit constantly, but I felt cripplingly nauseous. I do remember one time right after a flight home from Singapore, [...]

I‘m going to keep an eye out for and post about products that I think are cool regardless of whether or not they send me stuff or not. This falls into the “not” category. I just think this is a clever idea.
I am guilty of using my cosmetics past the recommended date, which is only [...]
