Utilizing Your Living Room

By: Sheri Karp

The Living Room is not obsolete; it has just changed into a more relaxed
atmosphere. No longer is it the roped off area, soley designated for company.
No longer is it looked at but not touched. Bring it into 2010
and unwrap the furniture. The new way to enjoy your living room is to add a
T.V. to the room and the room will finally be used. No longer do we have a
big, awkward T.V but a slim flat screen, barely noticeable to be enjoyed
in your new room.  Some flat screens double as mirrors or art when not in
use.

The family room is where the toys, kids, the Wii and games remain but the
living room is where the adults can quietly watch their programs….finally!
If you are considering redecorating, try something more casual. 
You may even want to put a small desk in there to put your laptop on as well….
come on, be daring, enjoy the room.

Sumac Elementary School…

By: Sheri Karp

…is offering a new program for the PRE-kindergartners. This is for our pre Willow and Yerba Buena children. It is for the children that are on the age cusp for kindergarten, a bit too young for kindergarten and a bit too old for pre-school, they turn 5 between July 1-Dec.1st. Sumac and Lupin Hill had the program last year and it has now been added to White Oak Elementary in Westlake.

It is scheduled from 8:00-1:00 M-F and they are preparing them for kindergarten rather than another year of pre-school. Last year was the first year and the parents are raving about the program. After a year in the Journey’s program, most students will enter traditional Kindergarten although some may be eligible for 1st grade. It is open to all Las Virgenes families. It is just another way our schools are working to better the education program. Hats off to
Las Virgenes Schools.

There are a lot of yogurt places that have opened in Southern
California over the past few years but Pinkberry is by far my
favorite. The Pinkberry that I go to most frequently is located at
3835 East Thousand Oaks Boulevard Westlake Village, CA 91362.

There are a lot of choices and combinations that you can create when
eating at Pinkberry. I always get the original and pomegranate swirl
and then various fruit toppings. Every time I go to Pinkberry
Westlake, I am leave wanting more. Make sure to stop by Pinkberry in
Westlake and get your daily dose of swirly goodness.

Sherman Oaks, CA

In an attempt to unite local eco advocates, Ewing and Associates Sotheby’s International Realty hosted an eco-workshop with the help of actor and visionary Ed Begley Jr. Showing up by way of bicycle, Begley stopped by the Sherman Oaks real estate office to share a few enlightening words regarding the ease and necessity of harnessing green energy in today’s economy.

Eco company Blu Homes, REAS, Cyber Rain and Environmental Solar Design were also in attendance for an evening complete with light fair and wine. Each vendor spoke for roughly 20 minutes and held an insightful session of Q and A. Led by Ewing and Associates’ manger Jeff Biebuyck, also affiliated with Blu Homes, the event hosted approximately 40 environmentally minded guests. From local business owners, former musicians and select real estate agents, all attendees received the opportunity to speak directly with educated representatives of the green movement.

Mr. Begley, a self-proclaimed fiscal conservative, briefly spoke about his journey towards embrace a green lifestyle. A native to the San Fernando Valley, he mentioned his young adult days of putting money aside to make more sustainable choices. Taking public transportation, bike riding, recycling and investing in key initiatives to update his first residence with the latest eco options were just some of his insightful tips. Additionally, he spoke in length about REAS (Residential Energy Assessment Services), as they worked closely with Begley on his latest residential green upgrade.

The event was followed by an informative period of casual networking and further details regarding the scope of each company’s service.
