If you are too busy or just disorganized, Christina can help get you back on track!


Most people have so many things on their “to-do” list that they just don’t have enough time to keep it all tidy. Sure they get things done, but the aftermath isn’t always pretty. Life can often snowball, so something that is put off for a week becomes six months.  If you need help getting back on the wagon in the organization department, Christina can help. Hyper-organized, she can look at a space and determine the best ways to create a custom organization system for you.

Which is worse-Spam or Snoring?


Referred by pamela@valleyhomescenter.com


“As a mom of 3, I am so about sleep. I am a light sleeper, and I can’t stand snoring! So for me snoring is worse than spam. However, I have a found a dental/sleep apnea and snoring practice that helped my family stay together.  Dr. J. Greenburg can help you find out if the snoring is sleep apnea, and make snoring a memory instead of a nightmare. No CPAP’s at his practice! He has offices in Pasadena, Encino, and more and you reach out to him at 888 317-6673.”
