Orange County Museum of Art Family Arts Day was a Blast!

I took my girls to the OC Museum of Art Family Arts Day and it was sooooo much fun! There was a great band playing, called the Breakaways, who played while we decorated t-shirts, made fish decorations (or whatever you call these cool things!) and walked around for a tour of the '60s art collection, Peter Saul and others were on display. Very interesting collection of artwork. We were mesmorized and I had a brief moment to myself when my girls were busy counting the 216 beer bottles on display.

The next event is in September, Back to School Cool! ...and we'll be there!

Yesterday, I hosted Momz Rock the House Music Fest at Original Mike's and it was really alot of fun! The performers, Adrina Thorpe, Stacy Robin, Debra Davis Band, Absinthe and Colette Aubrey were all absolutely amazing! The event, in Association with the Orangewood Children's Foundation, also included KUCI 88.9 fm were I host my radio show Moms Rockin' the House on Thursday's, OC Moms.com, The OC Register, American Red Cross of Orange County, Serenity Wellness Center, Parenting Orange County Magazine, Orange County Museum of Art, West Coast Radiology Center, Total Woman Atmosphere and Day Spa, Yogaworks, and lots of great giveaways like a signed copy of Judy Davids book, Rock Star Mommy, Bodega Chocolates, Lighfull Smoothies, Irvine Spine and Wellness Massage Certificates, OC Pavilion tickets, plus the new Momz Rock the House tank tops. We also gave away a gorgeous bubble gum pink Daisy Rock Guitar to an ecstatic 11 year old. Just love Original Mike's and we lucked out with incredible weather - and an amazing vibe!

ABOUT JANEANE BERNSTEIN

Janeane was raised in Manhattan and Connecticut and...POOF! She is now the mother of two beautiful girls, happily married to an incredible man she met at a bookstore in Boston, DJ/Host of Momz Rock the House internet radio show, featuring women in the arts and experts in numerous fields. Thursday mornings from 10am-1pm, she hosts a LIVE show "Moms Rockin the House" on KUCI 88.9fm in Orange County - www.kuci.org.

In between juggling motherhood and radio, she records voice-over projects, writes, and dreams of learning how to shred on her electric guitar. Janeane holds degrees in Education and TV, Radio and Film from Syracuse University, and a doctorate in Educational Media and Technology (she calls it mental bookcamp!).
She left the corporate world after having her first child and dreaming of a more creative life, and began studying acting and voice-over in Boston at CP Casting thanks to a chance meeting with an older actress at a Syracuse alumni event (she is thankful no one recorded her on-camera class being 8 months prego!).

After landing in CA with her VO demo, husband and infant daughter, she studied voice-over in LA with some incredible commercial and animation casting directors. She is currently represented in Los Angeles by Solid Talent and the Berzon Agency for On-Camera and VO projects in Orange County, and was a recent finalist in the UCI Screenwriting Scene Festival this past spring. She just completed the UCI Screenwriting Program and her first comedic screenplay.
For the past two years, Janeane has been Regional Coordinator of "Mamapalooza Rocks the OC!" producing a Mom music festival each May in Orange County, CA. This year's international Mamapalooza festival was held at the UCI campus with incredibly talented Mom rocker Meredith Brooks performing her latest Children's CD, "If I Could Be..." Janeane has also been a weekly contributor on ChickChat Radio, a nationally syndicated XM satellite show, featuring a Mom rocker/musical performer each week from Mamapalooza. In July, she hosted the "Momz Rock the House Music Fest" in Orange County in Association with the the Orangewood Children's Foundation, and will be producing more events in LA and the OC.

Janeane believes that it is never too late to become what you might have been, and that chocolate and sleep are essential to motherhood.
