Moms in training: 3 sanity-saving tips for new mothers From feeding to diaper changing, new moms and dads are flooded with information to learn and decisions to make for their new bundles of joy. A recent survey conducted by Harris Interactive found that nearly 75 percent of moms plan to return to work post-maternity leave. What many new moms may not yet fully realize is that becoming a mother is a full time job in and of itself. Like any profession, new moms deserve training, breaks and lots of support! Tammy Gold, parenting expert and author of the new book “Secrets of the Nanny Whisperer,” shares some easy tips mothers can use to help ease the transition into their new parenting role: Fill yourself up “No mother can give 100 percent of herself, 100 percent of the time, to her children or her partner,” Gold says. “Mom needs to remember what makes her who she is and what she needs emotionally and physically to live a complete life.” Filling yourself up can come from work, volunteering, taking classes, joining online groups, being in a book club, reading, hiking, walking or working out. Do whatever it takes to “fill you up” emotionally, mentally and

physically - apart from your children and family. Remember: happy mommy equals a happy baby! Crack the crying code When your baby cries, it can frustrate you, prevent you from sleeping, or even make you feel like crying yourself. Figuring out why your newborn is crying can ease a lot of stress. The main causes for infant crying typically include a dirty diaper, hunger, fatigue or being too hot. However, if these are not the issues, your baby could be suffering from gas, colic or reflux. Switching to the right baby formula or modifying your own diet if breastfeeding can fix all these issues. If you’re formula feeding, try switching your baby’s formula to a “sensitive” or “gentle” type formula. These formulas have less lactose and can help to reduce gas and colic. Remember: the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) strictly regulates infant formula to keep all babies safe. So, Store Brand Formulas like WalMart’s Parent’s Choice and Target’s Up & Up are nutritionally equivalent to name brands like Enfamil and Similac. By switching to store brands, families can save up to 50 percent, or

up to $600 dollars a year, which can certainly help with mom’s stress level. Don’t compare “You are the best mother to your children,” Gold says. “It does not matter which moms work full time or which moms stay at home to run the ‘perfect’ home. Your children do not care what ‘other moms’ can manage or complete; they only care about you.”

Believe in yourself and know that you are the best mother to your children. Be aware of the advice of others, but always trust your own gut, because you know what is best for your own children. Learn more For more information about Store Brand Formula, visit www. storebrandformula.com. - (BPT)

Senate Committee Approves Senator Patricia Bates’ B i l l t o H e l p H o m e l e s s Ad u lt s a n d C h i l d r e n The Senate Human Services Committee today approved Senate Bill 232 by Senate Republican Leader Patricia Bates (R-Laguna Niguel) to help move families out of poverty through a holistic approach that addresses the root problems of their individual circumstances. “I am encouraged by the committee’s approval of my bill to help anti-poverty organizations that want to make their clients self-sufficient,” said Bates, a former social worker. “My bill ensures needed accountability for people seeking to make their lives better for themselves and their families. In many instances, sobriety is the key factor in order to reunify families and begin their path to success. There is no reason why the state should not fund programs that ask their clients to strive towards sobriety.” SB 232 would require the California Department of Social Services, in consultation with the County Welfare Directors Association of California (CWDA), to design and implement a five-year pilot project to provide grants to private organizations that assist individuals receiving CalWORKs benefits to achieve economic independence, and to evaluate the effectiveness of the grant-funded programs. It would allocate $50 million from the state’s General Fund over five years. Bates’ bill is supported by organizations including the CWDA and the National Association of Social Workers – California Chapter. The bill would fund successful programs similar to Esplanade House in Chico and Saint John’s Program for Real Change in Sacramento. These programs require commitment to clean

and sober living in exchange for housing, as opposed to “Housing First” programs that provide housing without conditions, such as sobriety, addiction treatment or service participation. In its supplemental poverty measure report for 2015, the U.S. Census Bureau reported California’s poverty rate to be more than 20 percent – the nation’s highest. Bates believes that the state needs to try something different to make real life long change in people’s lives. SB 232 is similar to Bates’ SB 659 last year, which failed to pass out of the Senate Human Services Committee. The editorial page editor of the Sacramento Bee called SB 659 “one of the more interesting bills” on homelessness in a 2015 article. In a 2016 editorial, the Bee’s editorial board wrote: “Democrats would do well to listen to Sen. Pat Bates, R-Laguna Niguel. Bates sees a need – as does The Sacramento Bee’s editorial board – to spend some money on housing that caters to formerly homeless people who seek drug- and alcohol-free housing.” In support of SB 232, participants from Sacramento’s Saint John’s Program for Real Change testified today about how that program helped them to stay sober and get back on track. They said that alcohol and drug testing were integral to their recovery as it helped to keep them accountable and able to provide for their children. Senate Republican Leader Patricia Bates SB 232 will head next to the Senate Appropriations District in the California Legislature, which covers Committee for its consideration. Senate Republican Leader Patricia Bates South Orange County, North San Diego County (R-Laguna Niguel) represents the 36th Senate and Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton.

The secret to Mother’s Day gifting success: Give time, not stuff She nursed you through countless cases of childhood sniffles, taught you to tie your shoes and make a mean omelet, and she’s still your goto source for good advice and your favorite home-baked cookies. Are you really going to just give Mom a pair of socks and some flowers for Mother’s Day? You can do better than that. In the tradition of a current popculture meme, here’s a “give this, not that” list of Mother’s Day ideas: Give: Your time. Last year, 44 percent of mothers surveyed by online deal site PriceGrabber said they wanted quality time with their family for Mother’s Day. Whether your family includes adult children who live and work far from their childhood home (and Mom) or a busy family with young children, it can be hard to find time to spend with each other on a regular basis. On Mother’s Day, make a point of devoting the day to Mom. Whatever you choose to do together - dine out, visit a botanical garden or just hang out at home - you’ll be giving her the gift she wants most: time with you. Don’t give: Stuff. There’s a difference between a thoughtful gift that has meaning to the recipient, and something clearly bought out of desperation just so the giver has Page 4

something to hand over on Mother’s Day. Moms know the difference. Things like cowboy boots, sunglasses and even designer purses were among the items mothers said they didn’t want in a survey by Ebates. Don’t wait until the last minute to buy something she may not want. Put some thought into the gift a week or two before the big day so you can be sure you’re giving her something she really wants, like a piece of unique jewelry, her favorite bath products, or an attractive scarf. Give: A great meal out. It’s easy to understand why dining out was on the list of most-wanted gifts for mothers in every geographic area surveyed by Ebates. What could make Mom happier than enjoying a great meal with her family? Not having to cook it herself or clean up afterward! Taking Mom out for meal is a time-honored Mother’s Day tradition and restaurants can be busy on the first Sunday of May. In fact, Chris Ciavarra, senior vice president of marketing for Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, reports that Mother’s Day is one of the busiest days of the year for their restaurant locations across the country. When choosing a place to take Mom, look for a place that will please her palate with

The Ladera Ranch News

familiar flavors, good food and the kind of warm, comforting ambience she creates in her own dining room or kitchen. Family-style restaurants like Cracker Barrel are a good choice for Mother’s Day because there’s something on the menu for everyone. Plus, when Mom’s done with her meal, she can pick out the perfect gift from the store’s collection of nostalgic items. Don’t give: Practical kitchen items. No matter how much Mom says she wants a new electric can opener or how much she needs a new set of pots and pans, don’t give these items on Mother’s Day. Moms are more than just the sum of the time they spend in the kitchen. If she really needs and wants those things, why not give them to her at some other time of year, for no other reason than she’s a great mother? Or, if you must give something kitchenrelated for Mother’s Day, consider something that’s pretty and fun, too, like decorative serve ware. Buy from a store that offers free gift wrapping services - like Cracker Barrel - and it’s even easier to give a good-looking gift. Give: Gift cards. A gift card to her favorite store was another popular selection of moms surveyed by

Ebates. But don’t think giving her a gift card is all you have to do. Research to find just the right card for her, and then offer to accompany her on a shopping excursion to her favorite store. That way, you’ll be giving her two things she wants most - a gift card and time spent with you. Don’t give: Technology. Do you really want to give Mom a smartphone that will be obsolete by next Mother’s Day? Or a tablet so complicated she’ll never figure out how to use it on her own? If your mother’s digitally inclined, chances are she already has the tech she needs and wants. And if she doesn’t, trying to choose it for her can be like trying to pick a pet for someone else - never a good idea. Instead, keep gift items simple, personal and nostalgic.

5 Tips for Transitioning Back to Work After a Baby For many moms, heading back to work after maternity leave is something that has always been a part of the plan, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. This leads to concern about not having enough time to bond with baby, stress about pumping at work and maintaining your milk supply. While you may be worrying about being separated from baby for an extended period and interrupting your carefully crafted breastfeeding schedule, there are ways to help make the transition back to work easier for you and your little one. Ease Into the New Routine If possible, schedule your return date for the middle of a week rather than a Monday. Getting thrown into a long work week will not only be exhausting, but emotionally draining as well. By taking only a few days away from baby at the beginning, you can slowly ease back into work and make the return more manageable. Purchase Pumping Essentials While pumping at work can be challenging, having the right accessories can make it easier and even extend the time you spend pumping and breastfeeding. Although many moms returning to work stress about finding a private location to pump and the time to do it, a discreet pumping accessory, such as NUK Simply Natural Freemie Collection Cups, allows you to pump handsfree with your shirt on – even in your cubicle. Compatible with leading double electric breast pumps, you can pump on your own terms. The collection cups also help easily transfer milk into storage containers or storage bags to bring home. A supply of absorbent nursing pads is also a handy essential to keep with your breast pump to help you stay dry

throughout the day. Take Your Lunch Break While getting back into your work routine may keep you busy, it’s important to still make time for a lunch break. A return to work often means a change in your normal habits with more eating on the go, which can lead to skipped meals or not enough hydration. A quick lunch break helps create time for proper nutrients so you can maintain energy to keep up with the demands of work and parenting. Maintain the Bond Feeding is a special time and it can be just as hard on your little one when the schedule changes. One way to help ease the feeding transition is to use products that provide a more natural feeding experience, like NUK Simply Natural Bottles. The bottles are modeled after the shape of breasts, with up to nine nipple holes, and make for a natural transition between breast and bottle. As a

result, baby can maintain a close-tomom feel, even while you are apart. Try introducing more family members or friends to giving baby a bottle about a month before going back to work so you feel confident that the process is going smoothly before your official return date. Keep the Connection One of the hardest parts about returning to work is leaving your baby, and that’s expected. Don’t be shy about asking your caregiver to send updates once or twice a day with texts and pictures for peace of mind. One way to help ease the stress of being back at work is to visually see that your baby is doing well with the new routine. Working mothers have a handful of challenges to face, but planning ahead and following these tips can help ensure the transition is as smooth as possible.

Mother’s love is peace. It need not be acquired, it need not be deserved.” ~ Eric Fromm

EL K S w e l c o m e f i v e n e w m e m e b e r s i n A p r i l By Andy Costello Five local residents become the latest members of the Mission Viejo, Saddleback Valley Elks Lodge. Rick and Christine Atwood and John Joseph MacPherson of Mission Viejo were initiated into the Order as were Jack Songer of Trabuco Canyon and Heather Paige of Laguna Niguel. Rick and Christine Atwood joined the increasing number of husband and wife couples who have become Elks members. The popular sentiment expressed by many new Elks couples is that they wanted to give back to the community by engaging in some type of charitable work, and they hoped to be able to do it together. They have found a perfect fit with the Elks because both men and women are able to work together in all Elks charity projects. In other Lodge news, The Elks National Foundation (ENF) recently announced the donation standings of Lodges throughout the nation. The Mission Viejo, Saddleback Valley Lodge ranked second in ENF donations among the 171 Lodges in California and Hawaii. The mission of the ENF is to help Elks build stronger communities.

Timothy Mangan, Appointed to Newly Created Position a s W r i t e r - i n - R e s i d e n c e w i t h Pa c i f i c S y m p h o n y Pacific Symphony announced the appointment of Timothy Mangan, former classical music critic and founder of the blog ClassicalLife. net (created in 2006 to cover Pacific Symphony’s European tour), to the newly created position of writer-inresidence. Mangan is an awardwinning nationally renowned journalist who has an established reputation as a cultural thought leader and writes about music with deep knowledge and passion. Symphony President John Forsyte says, “As writer-in-residence, Tim Mangan will be a collaborative partner in engaging current and new cultureseekers in innovative ways. He is well respected on the Southern California cultural scene and, in fact, on the national scene as well. We’re looking forward to embracing his creativity and sharing it widely with our audiences.” Mangan joins Pacific Symphony after serving as The Orange County Register’s classical music critic from 1998-2016. He is a contributor to Opera News and the Los Angeles Times, and has also written for the Baltimore Sun, Los Angeles

Herald-Examiner, Musical America and Gramophone, among other publications. In 1999, he won an ASCAP Deems Taylor Award for his writing on classical music. In addition, he is co-editor of Paul Bowles on Music, published by the University of California Press. In 2010, the Orange County Press Club named ClassicalLife the best blog in Orange County. “The decline in traditional media has made it increasingly difficult for arts organizations to get their stories told to wider audiences as well as to reach new audiences. Creating the writer-in-residence position is our personal response to shifts in the media landscape,” Forsyte explains. “Tim Mangan is someone who can tell relevant stories of our art form in compelling, innovative ways, using video, photos and audio, in addition to the written word. I hesitate to use terms like ‘brand journalism’ or ‘content marketing’ about this new role because that is only a part of this position. What Tim brings to this organization is far more creative: his unique voice and extensive experience will evolve the position as

he interacts with Pacific Symphony musicians, concertgoers and the greater Orange County community at large. He will help bring greater recognition to the Symphony, our musicians, music education in our schools and the philanthropists who share their resources to make it all happen.” “I’m grateful for this opportunity and eager to start,” Mangan said. “As a music critic, I’ve been covering the Pacific Symphony since 1989. I reviewed Carl St.Clair’s first concert with the group in 1990 for the L.A. Times. I actually played with the orchestra in the early ’80s. Over the years, I have come to know and admire many of the people who work there and appreciate their innovative approach to presenting classical music. I’m really looking forward to this collaboration.” “Similar to a composer-inresidence, Tim Mangan will be creating original work for a symphonic organization. But instead of creating original music, as writer-in-residence he will be creating original writing about music,” says Frank Terraglio, the Symphony’s vice president of

Timothy Mangan marketing and public relations. “Among the interesting initiatives Tim will be developing are a Pacific Symphony blog, in-depth articles providing insight into classical music, a digital newsletter and YouTube interviews with Symphony musicians and soloists. We are also discussing the idea of Tim hosting an interactive series of casual conversations about music, so stay tuned for more details.” Pacific Symphony 17620 Fitch #100, Irvine, CA 92614.

Millennial moms and baby boomers approach pregnancy very differently The millennial mom-to-be uses an app to track her fertility and pregnancy progress, pins nursery ideas on Pinterest and researches baby gear on YouTube. She reads online advice on everything from what to eat (or not), to when to talk to a doctor about prescription prenatal vitamins and what to do with the placenta after delivering. Never without a smartphone in hand, armed with an app for everything, always connected or “on,” millennials were born in an era of emerging technology between 1980 and 1995, and have grown up in an ever-increasing digitally enhanced environment. But what does this over-abundance of connectivity and information mean for the digital-savvy millennial momto-be? For nearly 60 percent it means there is too much conflicting advice on tips for a healthy pregnancy, according to a recent poll. 500 millennials and 500 baby boomers were asked to reveal details on their approach to pregnancy in the poll by Exeltis, which produces the number one doctor recommended prescription prenatal vitamin, Vitafol. While sifting through all the information available today was overwhelming to expectant millennials, only 36.2 percent of baby

boomer moms, whose pregnancies were “pre-Google” and social media, felt this way. In addition, in our constantly connected world it’s common for people to dispense unsolicited advice to expectant moms. Twice as many millennial moms report they received advice while they were pregnant that they disregarded or didn’t agree with as compared to baby boomer moms. That’s why it’s no surprise that with so much (often conflicting) soughtout and unsolicited information and advice, 51.8 percent of millennials said they had a hard time deciding which pregnancy advice to believe. “We have so much more information than they did years ago,” said one millennial in the study. “I feel like millennial moms have a lot more pressure placed on them to do everything ‘right.’” Thus, despite the advances in technology that make their pregnancies different (or perhaps, more likely, because of it), millennial moms are turning to their own mothers for advice, even more than their mothers turned to the generation before them. Millennials are using the “Grandma Filter” to essentially qualify and validate information that they are receiving from other sources.

When it comes to preparing for parenting, millennials turn to their mother/mother figure more than any other resource on a variety of topics, including emotional/family concerns, relationship advice and determining what to register for. And, millennial moms turn to their mother nearly three times more often than baby boomer moms would have regarding financial concerns in preparing for a new baby. Still, there are some elements of pregnancy that have remained unchanged. More than half of all millennial and baby boomer mothers

polled prepared for pregnancy by taking a childbirth class. More than 97 percent of millennial moms and 92 percent of boomer moms took prenatal vitamins. In addition, 80 percent of both groups recognize prescription prenatal vitamins are the right choice for any pregnant mother. Which all indicates that regardless of when they are pregnant, moms ultimately want what is best for her baby, but deciding what that is might best be determined with a slight tweak to the adage. In fact, “Mama’s MAMA knows best.” - (BPT)

only five Members on LADERA RANCH CIVIC COUNCIL Board Still Has Two Vacancies to Reach Full Capacity

From left: Councilmember Stephanie Ramsey, Councilmember Amir Arbabi, Vice Chairman Gary Kephart, Chairman Jett McCormick, and Councilmember Mike Ellzey

LADERA RANCH CIVIC COUNCIL MEETING Monday April 17

The regular meeting of the Civic Council of Ladera Ranch was held on Monday, April 17, 2017. On hand were Chairman Jett McCormick, Vice Chairman Gary Kephart, and councilmember Mike Ellzey, Councilmember Amir Arbabi and Councilmember Stephanie Ramsey. Orange County Sheriff report Orange County Sheriff Mitch Wang said that the Orange County Sheriff’s Canine Corps will be on hand for the crime prevention display from 1 PM to 4 PM on May 13 for the event; “Celebrate Ladera Ranch”. Former Civic Council member Jennifer Powers, who is a driving force on Neighborhood Watch events is also expected to be on hand for the crime prevention gathering staffed with volunteers and an information booth. Crossing Guards and Traffic Complaints The Sheriff added that there have been no crossing guard complaints but there have been some traffic flow complaints throughout the area of Ladera Ranch since the last meeting of the Civic Council indicating that at a minimum the crossing guards are able to slow down traffic in school crossing zones. Residential street lighting and

paving concerns Councilmember Amir Arbabi gave a lengthy report concerning the micro- surfacing of streets particularly on Sienna in June. Of concern was the slurry on residential streets and the new test product slurry in Covenant Hills. Councilmember Arbabi suggested that there were also some developing issues with regard to some increased lighting on the roundabouts in Ladera Ranch. Crosswalks which light up when a pedestrian approaches were discussed. He suggested that the County should be advised about the lighting and recommended a high reflection paint to be used on the crosswalks in those areas. More resident communication concerns from Councilmember Ramsey Ladera Ranch Civic council member Stephanie Ramsey detailed extensive efforts for the design of a new Facebook page and for the articles concerning the Rancho Santa Margarita project, and the new Toll Road extension. Chairman Jett McCormick joined her in expressing the need for more communication to the residents of Ladera Ranch. Some discussion was held whether

to exercise civic council discretion regarding updates to the Ladera Ranch Civic Council website. Ladera Ranch Civic Council still short two members. Members discussed two vacancies Ladera Ranch Civic Council. The members discussed the possibility of reaching out to members of the Ladera Ranch community to encourage more residents running for the civic council. However, there was no offer for a posting of applications for prospective Civic council members. The current council is operating with only a skeleton crew of five members rather than the previously allocated seven-member Civic Council Vice chairman Gary Kephart expressed interest in meeting with Congressman Darrell Issa. Councilmembers Gary Kephart and Jett McCormick had a lengthy debate with regard to the efficacy of having members of the Ladera Ranch Civic Council meeting with Congressman Darrell Issa of California’s 49th Congressional District. It was determined that no action was contemplated at this time. Councilmember Mike Ellzey contemplates making a motion

to adjourn the civic council for the summer Councilmember Mike Ellzey announced that he would propose during next month’s council meeting to adjourn the entire council for the whole summer as he felt that the council was not being productive in the monthly meetings and would benefit by more organizational skills. This suggestion was met with a lengthy discourse by chairman Jett McCormick who stated that “it is the purpose of the civic council to be available for the residents of Ladera Ranch even during the summer months.” Councilman Ellzey argued that very few members of the community attended the monthly council meetings and he said that he would continue with his plan to make the motion to adjourn the council during the summer months but did not make the motion at this meeting. Only three other residents including the Ladera Ranch News reporter attended Monday night’s meeting. Council approves the meeting minutes of the Ladera Ranch Civic Council of March 20, 2017 The meeting minutes were approved as a recommended as submitted.

“J a m e s B o n d ” T h e m e d CASA Celebration Gala Raises over 1 Million Dana Chou, with Susan Leibel and Michelle Fisher Photos by: John Watkins Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Orange County, held their annual Celebration of Children: Black & White Ball at The Island Hotel in Newport Beach with 370 guests who together raised a net of $1,049,000. This serves as the third year in a row that CASA has netted over 1 million dollars at this signature fundraiser. The amazingly beautiful and elegant evening was co-chaired by three supportive couples to CASA: Dana and Tom Chou of Irvine, Michelle and David Fisher of Laguna Beach and Susan and Dennis Leibel of Irvine. The evening festivities began with a 007-themed cocktail reception featuring a silent auction with 97 appealing items and casino games that guests were able to win tickets for an opportunity to win a $10,000 and $5,000 gift certificate to Lugano Diamonds. KTLA 5 Morning News’ meteorologist and sportscaster, Henry DiCarlo, served as Master of Ceremonies and kicked off the energetic program for the evening. Longtime CASA supporters, Lourdes and Ted Nark and Wendy and Larry Tenebaum received CASA’s highest given award, “Children’s Champion”, for their many years of personal dedication to the agency. Patty Juarez, National Diverse Segments Director at Wells Fargo (and CASA Board Member) accepted the honor for “Outstanding Corporation” on behalf of Wells Fargo for their commitment to ensuring growth and success for children in foster care and helping to make our community a better place for everyone. Laguna Beach resident, Andrea Schoembs, was honored as “Advocate of the Year” for her astounding work as a CASA volunteer. Andrea shared a moving speech with the audience detailing the mental health problems that her nine-year-old CASA child faces (PTSD, ADHD, Depression, and Mood Disorder) with a balance of expressing that the child “is awesome, bright, curious, and funny and honestly one of the bravest people I know”. Auctioneer Rick Werner revved up the crowd for the annual Fund the Mission which hauled in over $500,000 with donations from the guests ranging from $100,000 to $500. The live auction included a Dream Vacation Home Experience at the Villa Verai in Phuket, Thailand, that fetched a $35,000 donation and Pink Sapphire Earring’s from Lugano Diamonds that were valued at $24,800. Following the successful program portion of the Gala, the reception area was turned into an after party featuring a DJ, dancefloor, photo booth and snacks for the guests. Court Appointed Special Advocates of Orange County is a privatelyfunded non-profit organization that serves severely abused, neglected and abandoned children through the recruitment, training and continued support of volunteers who advocate and mentor these children, representing their best interest in the courtroom and other settings. Founded in 1985, with major support from the Junior League of Orange County, they serve annually approximately 750 of the children who move through the court system as a direct cause of abuse and neglect. They are able to serve these children through the generous support of those who donate to CASA as well as the immeasurable compassion and commitment of CASA advocates. At CASA of Orange County, their mantra is “I am for the Child”. Visit www.casaoc. org to learn more.

C o o k U p a M o t h e r ’ s D a y t o R e m e mb e r Mother’s Day is a time for wining, dining and celebrating moms everywhere. Make this Mother’s Day one to remember by hosting a special brunch get-together for the special ladies in your life. Although quality time together is the true purpose of the day, you can add some special touches to help create a one-of-a-kind brunch to share old memories while you make new ones. Plan your tablescape. Colorful, fragrant flowers and luxurious linens make your everyday table shine. Use plates in complementing shades and sparkling glassware for an elegant touch. If you have room, add personal touches to the centerpiece, such as mementoes from shared trips or small picture frames with pictures of the two of you through the years. Prepare a sophisticated menu. Give a nod to the importance of the

day with dishes that are a step above standard brunch fare. A richly flavored entree such as this Spring Vegetable and Chevre Tart looks elegant but is surprisingly easy to make. For a cohesive spread, remember to give the basics a boost, too, such as a homemade flavored whipped butter. Offer a gift with meaning. To truly elevate the occasion, serve (or gift) your mom with a deliciously meaningful wine, such as Cambria Benchbreak Chardonnay or Pinot Noir from the famed Santa Maria bench in Santa Barbara County. Cambria is a family-owned winery that believes in honoring women across the United States and globally. Each year, the winery gives $100,000 to women making a difference in their communities through their Seeds of Empowerment program. For more recipes and ideas to enhance your celebrations, visit cambriawines.com. Spring Vegetable and Chevre Tart Recipe courtesy of Courtney O’Dell of Sweet C’s Designs 1 package (2 sheets) puff pastry 1 cup chevre, divided 1 large beefsteak tomato, thinly sliced 8 ounces thin green beans 2 beets, thinly sliced 4 mini zucchinis, thinly sliced

1 egg white, beaten until slightly foamy Heat oven to 350 F. On well-greased baking sheet, arrange one puff pastry sheet. Crumble chevre across pastry. Lay tomato slices then green beans, zucchini and beets over chevre, leaving a 1-inch border around all edges. Crumble second half of chevre on top. Lightly wet edges of pastry. Slice four 1-inch strips of second sheet of pastry and lay over edges of bottom sheet. (Optional: create basketweave pattern with remaining pastry dough). Brush pastry with egg white and bake until pastry is deep golden brown, about 35 minutes. Serve immediately. Pinot Noir Rosemary Butter Recipe courtesy of Erin Kennedy of My Thirty Spot Blog 1 cup salted homemade whipped butter (recipe below) 3/4 cup Cambria Benchbreak Pinot Noir 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary Fill shallow saucepan with wine and simmer until consistency becomes syrupy (reducing to about 1/8 cup). Let syrup cool completely. Add syrup and rosemary to whipped butter and mix. Serve chilled. Homemade Whipped Butter

1/2 quart heavy cream 1/2 teaspoon salt (up to 3/4 teaspoon, to taste) In food processor, mix butter until cream turns to consistency of cottage cheese and starts to separate from buttermilk, about 3-5 minutes of constant mixing. Strain butter from buttermilk. Use wooden spoon to knead butter in water (just like dough) to remove all remaining buttermilk. Drain and repeat until water is clear. Remaining whipped butter is ready to serve or for adding flavoring ingredients.

The street address and other common designation, if any of the real property described above is purported to be: 20 First Street, Ladera Ranch, CA 92694. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum due under said Notice of Delinquent Assessment, with interest thereon, as provided in said notice, advances, if any, estimated fees, charges, and expenses of the Trustee, to wit: $9,596.36 accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale.

The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located and more than three months have elapsed since such recordation. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call FOR SALE INFORMATION, PLEASE CALL (855)9869342, or visit this Internet Web site www.superiordefault.com using the file number assigned to this case 2012-2984. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. THE PROPERTY IS BEING SOLD SUBJECT TO THE NINETY DAY RIGHT OF REDEMPTION CONTAINED IN CIVIL CODE SECTION 5715(b). PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE A DEBT COLLECTOR AND ARE ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT AND ANY INFORMATION WE OBTAIN WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE. Date: 04/12/2017.

Two speeds provide blending control for more delicate foods, such as smoothies and baby food. The blending arm twists off for quick and easy cleanup. This hand blender ($59.99) comes with a 3-cup BPA-free jar with lid, so mom can blend away, safely.

An Essential, Everyday Tool

If some of her best culinary creations include savory sauces, delightful dressings and delicious dips, Mother’s Day is the perfect opportunity to treat mom to an upgrade. This 3.5-cup Food Chopper in Pink is convenient for everyday use and takes up minimal space in the kitchen. With two one-touch speed settings for chop and puree, this chopper ($49.99) is ideal for creating a spicy salsa, creamy hummus or garden-fresh pesto.

Blending Style with Power

With its roomy, 60-ounce patented diamond pitcher design and stainless steel blades, the 5-Speed Diamond Blender in Cranberry creates a powerful vortex to thoroughly blend everything from soups to smoothies. Automatic Soft Start® technology pulls ingredients into the blade rather than splattering them outward, keeping them together for controlled blending. This colorful blender ($159.99) offers stir, chop, mix, puree, liquefy and pulse options – everything mom needs to create her favorite dishes.
