On January 30th, Red Stick Moms Blog and 25 readers had the privilege of touring the locally-owned Alexander's Highland Market alongside registered dietician, Melissa Martin, of Woman's Center for Wellness for our first Mom's Night at the Market.  Alexander's Highland Market offers moms an incredible shopping experience with a focus on providing healthy foods as well as local and specialty items.

It seems like once you have children, all your days, weeks, and months just run together.  Thankfully, we have holidays.  Here and there throughout the year, these days are cherished and make time stand still for just a little while.  Halloween is the jumping off point for the big end-of-year holidays, and I think that is why it has become so popular and celebrated.  Everyone wants another day they can get excited about, build up to, and throw a party for. Who wouldn't love it!?   This year, the Red Stick Moms had an opportunity to get a practice run on Halloween by joining in on the Mall of LA Fall Fest on the Boulevard on October 18!  We had the...
