And it’s a gorgeous place! I highly recommend checking it out!

Deanna Francke is a local Mom and Personal Chef and I wanted to let you all know about her.
She brought me samples of some of her recipes last week – I tried her Peanut Butter Banana Raisin Breakfast “Cookies”, which are delicious and full of ingredients that are really good for you, and I tried her Quinoa salad with chickpeas, and you know I’m a fan of quinoa!
Deanna offers her Healthy Private Chef services, like cooking a week’s worth of good-and-good-for-you meals for you and your family, and is also known for providing meals for expectant and new moms as well.
Deanna also does special event cooking classes that sound like a lot of fun. Stay tuned: we may be doing some in Mar Vista this Fall!

Joni Weinberg is the Personal Shopper for Moms. She’s a Mar Vista Mom with a fabulous fashion sense and the skills to help other Moms look their best!
I recently met Joni and had her check out a few outfits I was thinking of wearing. She was very fun to work with and I really appreciated that she wasn’t only about taking me shopping where I was forced to spend lots of money. She “shopped” my closet and put things together in combinations I hadn’t thought of before, which was very cool.
She also had some great tips on where to shop for the pieces I was looking to add, so she really knows the retail scene.
Joni does an initial consultation and then you decide together whether she’s going to do just a few outfits or a whole new wardrobe for you. She has all the info on her website and you can also call her for more information.
