Food Truck Ban Near California Schools

22 Feb

Food trucks are all the rave in Los Angeles.

I will admit, I am a HUUUGE Food Truck groupie.

I’m a regular at The Grilled Cheese Truck, Lobsta Truck, and Ragin Cajun.

They know me, I stalk follow them on Twitter…yes, I have a problem.

My boys and I love it! Great food, convenience, and reasonable prices.

There are a zillion food trucks in LA to satisfy the hunger for even the pickiest eater: Korean BBQ, Vegetarian, Gourmet Burgers, Shaved Ice, Nom Nom, Dim Sum, Salads, Tacos, Crepes…you name it!

In addition to providing great food options, Food Trucks are also becoming staples at birthday parties and events around LA.

Many local schools bank on the popularity of the trucks and their huge following by organizing them for school fundraisers.

Popular trucks assemble on school grounds, and a portion of the proceeds earned are donated to the school.

I have gone to quite a few of these (just doing my part to help support education!). They are so much fun and kids and parents really enjoy it.

However, this could come to an end soon.

Carmel Assemblyman Bill Monning introduced a bill prohibiting food trucks from selling food within 1,500 feet of an elementary or secondary school between the hours of 6am and 6pm.

The bill is intended to be part of the state’s effort to create a healthier eating environment for school children.

I understand the need for healthier food in schools, especially with a child obesity rate that has tripled in the past 3 decades.

I’d be more inclined to find something healthy and yummy on a food truck than in a school cafeteria.

Are food trucks really the problem???

What about the liquor stores, fast food restaurants, and convenience stores within walking distance of schools? Where are the laws for those???

And I find it odd that by California law, a marijuana dispensary needs to be at least 600 feet from a school, but a food truck needs a distance of 1,500 feet.

Are we saying Mary Jane is better for a child’s health than something a food truck has to offer???

IJS.

Doesn’t make sense to me.

Get it together lawmakers. FOOD TRUCKS ROCK!

Michelle Obama Does the Dougie and Running Man

19 Feb

Discovering your passion, purpose, and meaning in life is such a great reward.

I knew early on that my passion is children.

I am an advocate for kids, their well being and happiness.

I think that’s why I really love First Lady (and Hot Mama of 2 girls) Michelle Obama.

Sure she’s intelligent, funny, beautiful, and has great fashion sense. But, she’s also very passionate about the youth.

In February 2010, she helped launch Let’s Move, a campaign to help raise a healthier generation of kids.

In the past 30 years, the childhood obesity rate has tripled. This is mainly because of lifestyle, eating habits, and lack of physical activity.

“The physical and emotional health of an entire generation and the economic health and security of our nation is at stake.”

-First Lady Michelle Obama

Children need 60 minutes of play with moderate to vigorous activity every day to grow up to a healthy weight.

Ms. Obama is taking her Let’s Move campaign throughout the country. She’s advocating for healthier eating choices in schools, educating the kids about a healthy lifestyle, and encouraging them to get up and MOVE!!!

She’s not just just a spokesperson. The First Lady is on her feet with the kids and moving too.

Ms. Obama is reminding kids to be physically active by doing things that get you up and on your feet: gardening, jumping rope, yoga, jumping jacks, and dancing.

And boy, can Chelle cut a rug! You can see her at Alice Dean Middle School in Washington DC rocking out to Beyonce with the kids.

Gotta love a First Lady who does a mean Dougie and Running Man. I can see her and the POTUS doing the Electric Slide all over the Oval Office.

Great job Ms. Obama. Thanks for inspiring this generation to combat obesity!

Life Lessons From Jeremy Lin

13 Feb

Motherhood is all encompassing.

You have to balance kids, work, school, personal life, etc.

In trying to be a good mom as well as a good person, I occasionally need reminders.

Here are some great pointers to pass on to my kids, but also apply in my life. And of course, I’m so happy it’s sports related. LOL

A new sports star is emerging. His name is Jeremy Lin.

Lin was an undrafted point guard from Harvard University. Now, as the New York Knicks starting guard, he’s taking the NBA by storm.

His story is inspiring many.

Who knows his future in the NBA, but here’s some life lessons Forbes Magazine suggests you can learn from him.

Great thoughts to pass along to your kids and yourself from his journey:

1. Believe in yourself when no one else does.Lin’s only the 3rd graduate from Harvard to make it to the NBA.  He’s also one of only a handful of Asian-Americans to make it. He was sent by the Knicks to play for their D-League team 3 weeks ago in Erie, PA.  He’d already been cut by two other NBA teams before joining the Knicks this year.  You’ve got to believe in yourself, even when no one else does.

2. Seize the opportunity when it comes up. Lin got to start for the Knicks because they had to start him.  They had too many injuries.  Baron Davis was gone.  The other point guards were out.  Carmelo Anthony was injured.  Amare Stoudemire had to leave the team because of a family death.  Lin could have squandered the opportunity and we would have never have noticed.  But he made the most of it.  You never know when opportunities are going to arise in life.  Often, they’re when you least expect them.  Make the most of them. Don’t fritter them away.

3. Your family will always be there for you, so be there for them. It wasn’t until a few days ago that Lin got his contract guaranteed by the Knicks for the rest of the season.  Before that, he could have been cut at any time.  He had to sleep on his brother’s couch on the Lower East Side to get by.  His family always believed in him and picked him up when he could have gotten down on himself.  That made him continue to believe.  If you want your family to believe in you like that, you’ve got to be there for them too when they need it.

4. Find the system that works for your style.Lin isn’t Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant.  He’s not a pure scorer.  He’s a passer and distributor – who can also score very well.  It didn’t work for him in Golden State or Houston – where he was before landing at the Knicks.  But Mike D’Antoni’s system at the Knicks has been perfect for him to show off his strengths.  You’ve got to do your best to understand what your strengths are and then ensure that you’re in a system (a job or organization or industry) that is a good fit for those strengths.  Otherwise, people overlook the talents you bring to the table.

5. Don’t overlook talent that might exist around you today on your team. You probably manage people at your own company today.  Are you sure you don’t have a Jeremy Lin living among you now?  How do you know that “Mike” couldn’t do amazing things if you gave him a new project to run with?  How do you know “Sarah” isn’t the right person to take the open job in London that you’ve been talking over with your colleagues?  We put people around us in boxes.  He’s from Harvard.  He’s Asian-American.  Not sure he can play.  How many assumptions have you made about talent around you?  Don’t be like the General Managers in Golden State and Houston, and let talent slip through your fingers.  With all their money, scouts, and testing, they didn’t have a clue what they had in their hands.  Do you know what your people (or even yourself) is really capable of?  Take off the blinders of assumptions you wear when you look at the world.

6. People will love you for being an original, not trying to be someone else. You’ve got to be you.  You can’t be some 2nd rate copy of Michael Jordan.  There will never be another Michael Jordan.  Just be Jeremy Lin — yourself.  Whatever that is.  That doesn’t mean you don’t work hard — it just means you find what you’re good at and do it.  Fans will love you for being you, just like they love Jeremy Lin.  Judy Garland said it best:

“Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.”

7. Stay humble. If you one day are lucky enough to have newspapers want to put you on the cover in order to sell more, don’t let it get to your head.  It’s been remarkable watching how humble Lin remains through all this media frenzy.  It makes his teammates and fans love him that much more.

8. When you make others around you look good, they will love you forever. I didn’t know how good Tyson Chandler was, until I saw him playing with Jeremy Lin.  Lin has set Chandler up many times over the last week for easy dunks because he drew the defense and then passed the ball.  That’s partly why the Knicks are playing so well.  They are all working harder to share the ball with others.  And it’s beautiful to watch.  And when the media swarms Lin, he tells them how good his teammates are.  Do the same with your peers and reports.

9. Never forget about the importance of luck or fate in life. Some people believe in God, some in destiny, some in luck.  Whatever you believe in, be grateful for it.

10. Work your butt off. Lin couldn’t have seized his opportunity if he hadn’t worked like crazy for years perfecting his skills.  There are no short cuts to hard work.  Success is a by product of that.  If you’ve got a Tiger Mom who’s always pushed you to work hard, great.  If not, let your conscience be your own Tiger Mom!  Get up early, stay up late.  Nobody gave Lin any free passes. Why should you get any?  You can only control what you control and that means you’ve got to work harder than anyone else you know.

Beyonce’s 1st Post Baby Photo

8 Feb

Wowzers.

Just 1 month after having baby, Blue Ivy, Beyonce makes her first public appearance.

She hit her hubby’s club 40-40 for the Monday after party to his 1st Carnegie Hall performance.

Party goers said Bey was out well past Blue’s bedtime. She hit the after party around midnight and left around 4AM.

Good for her!

One mistake I made was hibernating at home for months after my kiddies were born. It’s great for new moms to get out and about post baby. It’s good for baby and mommy to realize they are ok for a little time without each other.

As if women need one more reason to hate Bey, she has done it again!!!

She was show stopping in a beautiful red Temperley London dress, 4 inch Christian Louboutin heels and an Alexander McQueen clutch.

Oh, and let’s not forget every new mommie’s best friend, CLEAVAGE.

The rouched dress was a great post pregnancy choice.

My kid is 3 YEARS old, and I still rock rouched clothing. It’s perfect for when I don’t feel like sucking in my stomach all the time.

As a tribute to daughter Blue, Bey was wearing a big old Blue ring and blue nail polish. Both stood out notably since her dress was red.

Very cute tribute to her daughter. I wonder if Jay-Z had on blue boxers.

Glad to see the new mommy out and still glowing.

Then the next night, Beyonce makes another appearance out and about attending her hubby’s final Carnegie Hall performance.

She’s showing off her sexy curvy body in a Monique Lhullier dress and  making motherhood look AMAZING!

Hot Mom & Hot Dad Rock Super Bowl

5 Feb

At 53 years old, Madonna Louise Ciccone is older than the Super Bowl.

Gospel choir, cartwheels, hot bod Gladiators, drumline, tightrope walker, one armed push ups, M.I.A., Cee Lo, Nicki Minaj and LMFAO….no, I’m not talking about what goes on in my bedroom.

This was Madonna’s performance at Super Bowl XLVI (that’s 46 for those of you who weren’t paying attention to Roman Numerals in grade school).

Mommy of 4, Madonna rocked the halftime show doing a medley of old songs with her new upcoming single, “Give Me All Your Luvin”.

Her performance of Vogue, Music, and Like A Prayer had every gay man and old school pop music junkee up dancing and working off the the Super Bowl hot wings.

After 8 years of not having a female solo act not do a halftime performance, hats off to Madge. She looked stunning and put on a great show.

As if all that weren’t enough entertainment for 1 night, father of 4, David Beckham debuted his H&M bodywear collection in a commercial during the game.

*fanning myself*

If you ever wondered if women watched the Super Bowl, you knew as soon as his commercial aired. Twitter went crazy and David Beckham instantly started trending.

I imagine it was quite awkward for men watching the game to see helmet to helmet action, then all of a sudden Beckham’s tats, pecs, and tight ass are on the screen.

Wowzers.

But seriously, I was only looking at his package tattoos.

Becks and Madge are proof that parenthood and aging only make you better!

 

National Signing Day 2012

1 Feb

National Signing Day is growing in popularity and publicity.

ESPNU aired 10 live hours dedicated to recruit coverage. Also a live updated horizontal and vertical ticker, even during commericials.

You can see ESPNU’s complete list of their 150 top recruits HERE.

ESPN ranked the colleges with the best recruiting class:

1. Alabama (blah blah blah)

2. Florida State

3. Texas

4. Florida

5. Georgia

LSU had another great recruiting year, coming in at #12.

I’m most excited about 6’3, 270 pound Defensive lineman Quarterback, Jeremy Liggins. Dude is huge, fast, and talented.

I loved how No. 3 OLB in ESPNU 150 Kwon Alexander announced LSU as his choice. He revealed purple suspenders and bowtie. #Classic

Wide Reciever (and brother of LSU great Patrick Peterson) Avery Johnson teased LSU coaches. He called to say he was goin to Bama (just kidding)just as his NLI fax arrived at LSU.

These guys are gonna fit right in with the LSU program!

Some of last year’s prospects came in and made an immediate impact, others red shirted and will be dominating on the field this year.

I say with great pride and excitement, here is LSU’s 2012 Recruiting class:

What Is National Signing Day?

31 Jan

It’s that time of year…

The 1st Wednesday of February.

No, not Groundhog Day, it’s National Signing Day.

College athletes are able to sign a National Letter of Intent to play a sport at a college.

Many of the nation’s best high school athletes have made VERBAL commits, but this is the day to seal the deal in ink.

It seems like there is increased interest in NSD every year.

This year with recruiting drama around top ranked football  players like QB Gunner Kiel and Safety Landon Collins, the internet has been abuzz for months.

On February 1, 2012 ESPN will dedicate TEN HOURS of  live coverage for National Signing Day.

Folks, this is major.

I love NSD, as a huge LSU and SEC fan, I share so much pride when I see the future of the football programs and tradition of the SEC.

As a mom of a sports loving son, we watch together and he learns about how hard work, dedication, and talent can pay off by means of a college scholarship.

Soooo….what exactly happens on National Signing Day?

Associate Commissioner Greg Sankey, who oversees compliance for the SEC explains:

 When student-athletes signing with a certain school on Signing Day, what documents are they actually putting their name on?

Sankey: In the SEC they are actually signing a couple of documents. One is the actual National Letter of Intent (NLI) and the second is an SEC financial aid agreement. The first document, the NLI, sets out the dynamics of their signing, the end of their recruitment and their commitment to a particular institution and a sport. The financial aid agreement will set forth the athletic scholarship they will receive upon enrollment at the institution. Sometimes there is an institutional document as well explaining policies and procedures.

 Can you explain just what the NLI is and what it means once the student-athlete signs it?

Sankey: It’s an agreement between a prospective student-athlete and his or her family and the university or college where they are signing. Essentially, the prospective student-athlete is saying that they are going to attend this university (where they sign) and I’m going to participate in the sport listed for a particular period of time. A year has been the norm. That’s the minimal requirement for the National Letter of Intent. The university is saying if you attend this institution and participate in the sport as you have indicated, they we are providing you this amount of athletics aid. Generally in football it is a full athletic scholarship, because it is what is called a “head-count” sport. Then, among the other institutions out there, part of the agreement with the NLI is that is the moment where recruiting ceases. 

The importance of Signing Day is that it is the first opportunity to sign, and then when someone signs the other Division I and Division II institutions that participate in the NLI program agree that the recruitment of that prospect will cease.

It’s a very emotional day for many of the athletes who have spent YEARS working towards the day of earning a college scholarship.

Happy signing to all the athletes, their families, coaches, and colleges (especially those heading to LSU).

GEAUX TIGERS!

McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets Are Gross

29 Jan

This blog almost made me puke.

The things I do to bring you guys info and entertainment…

Sooo….this chic named Stacey Irvine, a 17 year old in Britain has been scarfing down McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets all her life. No fruits. No veggies. Just nuggets.

While my 7 and 3 year old sons would enjoy the thought of this, it is actually disgusting and not good for you.

Stacey was rushed to a British hospital bc she collapsed and was struggling to breathe.

Upon examination, doctors learned since the age of 2, Stacey has never eaten fruits or veggies, only fast food fried chicken nuggets.

WTH?!

Ok, I know babies don’t come with a manual, but come on parents, THIS IS NOT GOOD!

Stacey’s mom said she tried to get her daughter to eat other foods. Stacey said once she started eating nuggets, she “loved them so much they were all I would eat.”

So, what’s in these yummy nuggets Stacey and so many others scarf down daily:

A study determined McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets are “stripped down to the bone, and then ‘ground up’ into a chicken mash, then combined with a variety of stabilizers and preservatives, pressed into familiar shapes, breaded and deep fried, freeze dried, and then shipped to a McDonald’s near you.”

Do you like cosmetic products and Silly Putty? Great, because one of the stabilizers and preservatives you are eating is dimethylpolysiloxane, a form of silicone used to make cosmetice products and Silly Pully.

YUM-OH! Let’s break out the BBQ sauce!!!

Parenting isn’t easy.

We are often trying to spread ourselves thin finding enough time in the day to get things done.

But COME ON…we have to do better than letting a fast food chain feed our kids on a regular basis.

Do my kids eat McDonald’s? Yes. But not on a regular basis.  I also make sure they eat fruits, veggies, and healthy home cooked meals in addition to the crushed eyeballs/tendons/preservatives nuggets they get at McDonald’s.

I remember growing up, an outing to a fast food joint was a TREAT. It was a reward for doing something really great like getting an “A” on a report or my mom getting a promotion.

Fast food was not the answer to dinner EVERY NIGHT.

Just like we are conscious about who our kids play with, how much tv they watch, their grades in school, their safety in public, what activities of play they do…we should also be responsible about what foods we feed them regularly.

If you have young kids, start them on good eating habits NOW. It will make your life and theirs much easier and healthier.

P. S- Someone please tell me Chick Fil-A doesn’t do any of this crap to their chicken, bc I GETS DOWN at Chick Fil-A!!!!

Support Your Child’s College Choice

17 Jan

If you’re a fan of college football, you prolly know National Signing Day is right around the corner.

The days leading up til the first Wednesday in February are very exciting.

Until you actually sign a National Letter of Intent to play a sport at a college, you have merely made a verbal commitment.

This year has been interesting for college football.

Two of the nation’s top high school players have made decisions putting their MOMS in the news.

We’ve seen the excitement of high school star safety, Landon Collins verbally committing to a school against his mother’s approval.

Now, college football is talking about Gunner Kiel and his mom.

The nation’s top QB originally committed to his home state school, Indiana. After a visit to LSU, he changed his mind and verbally committed to the mighty LSU Tigers. However, it is being reported that Gunner will not be playing ball at LSU. He will be attending Notre Dame.

According to recruiting expert Michael Scarborough,

“He wants to come to LSU, but his mother (Aleta Kiel) got very emotional Monday and did not want her son to leave. He plans to enroll in classes at Notre Dame on Tuesday.

Scarborough goes on to say, ”What has been relayed to me is that he wants to come to LSU, but his parents want him at Notre Dame because it is closer to home.”

Ok moms, I get it…we love our boys.

 I love LSU and SEC football, but I’ve always said I wouldn’t want my sons to play football in college because I couldn’t watch them get hurt. Yes, selfish and worrisome, I know.

I’m a mom. That’s what we do.

I am a mom first and a sports fan second.

However, if they choose to play football or any sport, I’ve made a verbal commitment to step back and allow them to make their own choices despite my personal feelings.

No guilt trips,bad attitude,  passive aggressive comments, silent treatment…just love and support for their decision.

Afterall, isn’t this what we spend 18 years trying to teach our children?

We raise them and instill values and beliefs in them hoping to make them fine young men. Then we send them out into the world, let them grow on their own, and learn from their choices?

As moms, we should support our children and their decisions. It’s a part of life. THEIR life.

They are choosing a COLLEGE, not a CRIME.

It’s not about us. We have lived our life.

As our boys grow, our role in their life will change.

Going off to college is part of the process of these high school boys growing into men.

Let your children GROW.

Let your children GEAUX.

So what if you don’t like it…it’s your child’s choice, life, and dream.

As a LSU fan, I was disappointed to hear Gunner would not be a Tiger (P.S the name Gunner Kiel ROCKS!).

But I understand. He’s a 18 year old kid. Kids change their mind.

This is one of the biggest decisions he will make in his life. He has to do what’s best for himself.

(Plus LSU has one of my faaaave quarterbacks, Zack Mettenberger. Can’t wait to see him play! We also have 3 other QBs: Stephen Rivers, Jared Foster, and Jerrard Randle. Don’t worry Tiger fans, LSU will be fine in the QB department).

Best wishes to all the high school players on National Signing Day (especially our new Tigers!!!)

Golden Globe Dresses 2012

15 Jan

Last year at the Golden Globes, the mommies didn’t quite have it together.

This year, THEY SHOWED UP!!!!

The mommies rocked the Golden Globe Red Carpet!!!!

Here are my top 3 faves:

*My top mark goes to mommy of 2, Jessica Alba.

She had on the most beautiful lilac purple Gucci dress ( I love that shout out to LSU).

In her Red Carpet interview, she mentioned her daughter said she looked like a mermaid. (I love the shout out to her little one).

She recently had her 2nd child, and she was just glowing and radiating beauty.

Her hair, makeup, and jewelry were gorgeous. Her dress so perfectly glamorous for the occasion.

Perfect 10!

*Next up for Golden Globe hottie, is my #1 choice from last year, Sofia Vergara.

Sofia was also my choice from last year’s Emmy’s. OMG…I still remember how beautiful she was.

She is really becoming one of my Red Carpet faves.

She just always gets it right.

She teamed up again with Vera Wang (and her curvy body) for the dress. They’re a great team!

*My final hot mommie at the Golden Globes is mommy of 5,  Angelina Jolie in Atelier Versace.

She has such a commanding presence on the Red Carpet.

She is the only person who makes tats and red lipstick work for a Red Carpet event.

I didn’t looove her dress (it looked kinda weird with that red blob on the top, but she wore it well).

Angelina’s hair (you gotta be HOT to make a bun look good) and makeup looked amazing. Plus she totally rocked her tattoos (and prolly Brad Pitt‘s world before the show).

I really enjoyed seeing her in the interviews. I’ve never heard her talk so much on the Red Carpet.  When she wasn’t talking, she had a Twillight-like glaze on her face like she wanted to cut someone.

Oh Angie…She just exudes natural sexiness. And come one…there is no better accessory than Brad Pitt.

*I have to give a special shout out to Elle MacPherson in Zac Posen.

She is becoming one of my fave mommies.

After 2 kids, her body is still killer, hence her nickname, “The Body”.

Perhaps having a top selling lingerie line inspires her.

Her dress was kinda kooky (what’s with all the tulle???), but she’s so pretty, it didn’t really matter.

At 47 years old, Elle can still work any Red Carpet or runway.

*And my favorite non mommy at the Golden Globes is Charlize Theron in Dior Couture.

OMG…she is definitely one of the sexiest women in Hollywood.

She has such a fresh, clean look.

I love her classic simple beauty.

She’s perfect without trying so hard. She looked stunning!!!

Did I love her dress…no. But when you stand out more than what you’re wearing…you’re doing something right!

*Favorite young person is Modern Family’s Sarah Hyland.

What a beautiful vintage Dolce & Gabana.

I would totally rock this dress!

Such a classic, chic dress for the petite 21 year old. It was a great choice.

She didn’t look like  a little girl playing dress up in mommy’s closet.

She looked like a beautiful young lady with class and style.
