Coming Back to Breaking News

After a lengthy break, I’m finally back behind the mic! This week, I’m catching up and diving into the developing situation surrounding the Sandy Fire, including community impact, local response, and what residents need to know heading into a busy holiday weekend. I’m also rounding up a few Memorial Day weekend events happening around town. A little news, a little community, and a long-overdue return episode to kick off the unofficial start of summer.

From Encore to Erringer

This week, I’m recapping my 🎰Vegas🍹 adventure—think over-the-top glam, a little chaos, and a rockin’ night with Cheap Trick. 🎸🏁 Back in Simi, we’re trading slot machines for small-town fun with ArtsFest, Junk in the Trunk, and the Fishing Derby—where the only gamble is whether you actually catch something! 🎣 And of course, we’re going all-in on Aldi Finds: a magical spring Disney drop, garden goodies that are plantastic, and viral beauty buys that are totally worth the 🛒 space! From jackpots to junk, glam to garden beds—it’s a full house this week!! ♠️♥️♣️♦️

On the Hunt for an Easter Egg Hunt

Let's yap about YAP with the Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center!

This week I chat with Stephanie Lesh and Sandee McGee from the Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center's Young Actors Playground (aka YAP), to discuss upcoming shows, summer camps, and more!! This is a wonderful opportunity for kids aged 5-16 to learn all about how to put on a theatrical performance! This was a great conversation and I learned so much about not only the YAP program, but also some local history and how much the SVCAC encourages community involvement in Simi Valley and the importance of the arts!! Enjoy the engaging conversation with two wonderful women who work hard to make the magic happen!
