"The greatest gift you will ever know is a loving mother" - BOC

PUBLISHERS LETTER 

MAY 2010       

        HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

Dear Life Bites Readers,

This month we have some great travel ideas, as well as mother's day ideas - perhaps a visit to Spa Luce in Hollywood would be an ideal place for you and your mom to get pampered together. Our hotel feature is the Bacara Resort and Spa, a divine property on the ocean in Santa Barbara, and we have included delicious food and culinary event news, coupled with super sipping ideas.

Oprah is on the top of our BookBites list this month. This tell-all book should be a great read for everyone. Carol Burnett also released a wonderful book on her life in 'the biz" and she did a book signing in Santa Barbara. Look for some great new cookbooks, and Sips features a really creative cocktail book. Lucy Danziger, editor of Spa and Catherine Birndorf, M.D. just released "The Nine Rooms of Happines" which I am reading and loving so far . . look for our review in June, and look for the book at major book stores.

Spring is wonderful, flowers and plants are coming to life. This is a perfect time to start your vegetable or herb garden, and get organized for great outdoor grilling and BBQ favorites. We will be featuring spring/summer grilling recipes and product features for your outdoor cooking adventures. Join us in trying out the new Weber Grill, renowned meat products and new recipes, as well as safety tips for outdoor chefs.

May is the birthday month of my eldest daughter, and I wish her a very happy birthday. She is celebrating with her friends and family in Canada this year. Happy Birthday my dearest daughter, I love you.

I hope you will join me in remembering our soldiers fighting in foriegn lands and pray for their safe return to their families. God bless them, and God bless America in these perilous times; may democracy reign through this cloud of darkness.

Cordially,

Publisher/Editor
