A Cause Close to Heart
The Michael Cuccione Foundation is close to Tai's heart. Michael and his family are dear friends who Tai met when she wrote an episode of Baywatch, "Charlie," about a real little boy who died of childhood cancer. Michael played the part. Now the annual fundraiser in Vancouver, B.C. holds a permanent marker on Tai's calendar.

Lavender Festival Bikini Style
A fabulous girls weekend -- the Lavender Festival in the charming town of Ojai. We stayed at the Ojai Valley Inn in darling cotton-style rooms with fireplaces. The weekend was all things lavender from the pool decor to the town with everything from ice cream to short bread cookies to honey. So YUMM!!! We have to make this an annual event!
