Portrait | Reina & Rodney

Rodney and his mother Reina brightened my Saturday morning. While Rodney is a typical 10-year-old who likes things like chocolate chip ice cream, playing soccer, and the new Transformers movie, he is by far the most well-mannered and sweet 5th grader I know. Both Reina and Rodney have calm dispositions that show through in their beautiful eyes and in their warm smiles. I was greeted by Rodney with a confident handshake and the three of us parted with a warm group hug. It doesn’t get better than this!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Local Favorite | 4Cats Arts Studio Grand Opening Event

I highly recommend you visit a fantastic new place in the Berkeley Hills/Kensington area called 4Cats Arts Studio. They offer incredible children’s classes in clay, drawing, splatter painting, stop motion animation and more. Owner Sarah, is a very warm person and an excellent teacher. I can vouch for her and the classes myself since my son took some of them this past summer. Whether a sunny or rainy day this wonderful naturally lit space with its lively artistic decor will put a smile on your face. Enjoy viewing the photos of the recent fun 4Cats Arts Studio grand opening event and consider throwing your kid’s next birthday party here too!

p.s. Don’t forget to grab a pastry treat or lunch afterwards right across the street at Semifreddi’s, a great bakery and also a green business.
