The Rancho Bernardo Inn Provides a Unique Experience
We had a chance to check out the Rancho Bernardo Inn last weekend as part of their INNfluencer program and was delighted to spend my (forever 28) birthday weekend there! Located in San Diego in a rather quaint neighborhood (you drive through several neighborhoods to get to the serene resort), you are immediately put at ease by the warm and welcoming vibe of the resort. I had visited Rancho Bernardo Inn for the first time last November for a work-related event and vowed to come back as I truly fell in love with the place! On their website they state It’s a place to visit again and again, each time…

King Julien Hosts Dance Party & New Year’s Eve Countdown On Netflix
New Year’s Eve is just around the corner! And many of us will change the clocks, blow the noisemakers at 8 p.m., and search for that New Year’s Eve countdown on the other side of the world just so we can celebrate it with our little ones at a decent hour. Many parents will do whatever it takes to give their kids their own New Year’s countdown and get them into bed before the ball actually drops. In fact, more than a third of U.S. parents (34%) admitted to starting the party early to fool their kids into thinking it’s midnight*, citing their kids or their own bedtime as the reason. These…

Family :: Creating Magical Holiday Meals Together
The holidays provide the perfect opportunity to spend quality time together making yummy holidays meals. It is such a wonderful time to pass down family recipes and have your kids help out in the kitchen. Just this past Thanksgiving, I had my daughter help me make the infamous green-bean casserole that my mother use to make every year. It is funny, because as a kid I didn’t really like this dish but now I absolutely love it! We ended up using Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom with garlic (highly recommend) and steamed the fresh green beans before we baked the casserole (also recommend doing this for a minute or two). I…
