Coffee and Conversation with a Police Officer
I recently took my son down to meet local police officers at Starbucks in The Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch. The officers were hosting “Coffee and Conversation” and I thought it would be a great way for my son to become familiar with the people who work to protect our community every day. The officers were very friendly, and talked about… Read More>>

North County Dance Arts is a Passionate Studio
Growing up a dancer, you can imagine now as a young mother of 2 little girls how high my hopes were that one of them would enjoy this form of physical art and expression like I did. But I was happy with whatever path they chose. Yet at the age of 3 my oldest daugther Amber (who was already slaying living room dance parties, of course) stepped into her first real dance studio to give a drop-in class a try. She had fun and… Read More>>

Crudo Elevates Pacific Highlands Ranch to Another Level
The menu at Crudo is based on the flavors from the Mediterranean coast, with Japanese-inspired infusions. My favorite item on the menu is the “Crudotinis” which are small bites of different flavors on top of a crostini. I always get the short rib Crudotini, that comes with a hazelnut and an apple slice. The other two that I gravitate toward are the burrata and tomato Crudotini, and… Read More>>
