October, A Month that feeds the imagination

October 01, 2008

We have officially entered October, my favorite month. I love the fall, even if we aren?t seeing too many signs of it yet, and Halloween with a child to me is well, super creativeespecially because my girl loves to make believe. What a better month to encourage imagination than the one with a holiday involving costumes, witches, ghosts and goblins. Here at Savvy Source I did a bit of  Read more...

Come On, Preschoolers! Express Yourself.

September 17, 2008

Expressing ourselves creatively starts at a young age. My girl loves to paint and draw tornadoes, tornadoes and more tornadoes. What that says about my daughter, well, it makes me wonder but let's not go there. Let's go check out some art classes offered up for our little artists.

Art Walk on the Bay: Kidswalk, Kids Give

September 10, 2008

For the past few years, we have been regulars at Art Walk in Little Italy. Progressively through the years this art festival has become better and better.

Portraits Speak Volumes

June 12, 2008

It's All About Shyla

June 06, 2008

Yesterday afternoon, here in sunny ol' San Diego, it rained. It was four in the afternoon, not my prime time, and I still had a few hours to burn with my girl stuck in the house. Well, 'stuck in the house is dramatic but I wasn't about to hop in the car and go anywhere in the rain. San Diegans don't drive well in the rain; we are used to water at the beach, not on our roads.
