It was a pleasure to head over to Mariel’s home in Malibu to get a glimpse at how she lives. I cuddled with her white cat and pet her two doggies as the camera crew set up. I couldn’t wait to show her my new Sony Cyber-shot, as she is a healthy life style advocate and I knew she needed a camera to showcase her craft.

She says, “Creating a healthier body and mind allows us to do more and live a longer, more vibrant and meaningful life. It is my belief that the choices we make, the information we seek, and the food we eat are integral to our well-being.”

Mariel has written books about life, yoga, nutrition and well-being including a cookbook. She has created a company called Mariel’s Kitchen in order to share her passion for living a healthy, happy life. Through making positive, intentional choices about food, movement, home, and silence, she has found her center and balance.

I’ve skied many mountains in my life time and have come to adopt Deer Valley as my snowy home away from home. I don’t get to visit as much as I’d like but the terrain, atmosphere and hospitality is outstanding.
 During our stay we also got to interview Krista Parry, the founder SnowMamas.com – a resource website for snow bound skiing moms and their kids.

It was my delight and pleasure to bring my little sister with me to shoot my shows because last year she was recovering from breast cancer.  Our segment is called, “Mommy Hot Spots:  Where Do You Like to Play?”  We’ve been skiing together ever since we were teens and this trip was so special because she was healthy enough toget on mountain and take an amazing ski lesson with me.  Elyse was a our ski instructor from Deer Valley Resort. We learned a lot, despite the fact that Elyse told me to ski around the moguls not to jump them.  I was trying to show off for my sissy, but ended up humbled and a much more smooth 
skier! Thanks Elyse for the tips.

Sometimes a mom just has to unwind…and sometimes TV is the easiest way for a mama to leave her day behind her. See what fun and crazy shows Sheila, co-founder of CleverGirlsCollective.com and Kimberley like to watch. And of course, which male celebrities they love to blush over!

We’re also pretty impressed with our filming crew who graciously let us photograph them as they struck a pose! LOL. Enjoy!
