The CW – same network that shows Gossip Girl – is remaking 90210, from Beverly Hills 90210, the 1990s teen drama. Only hotter, sexier, trashier. More today. More grown-up. More hot.

I was waiting in the Drs. office with Ainsley analyzing a copy of Girls Inc.’s The Supergirl Dilemma.

One of my goals, as a parent, is to teach my daughter coping skills and practical techniques for dealing with stress. Personally, I’ve found yoga to be instrumental in building a core strength, core inner self and self worth, stress reduction and in communing with God. Of course I want her to have access to […]
