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…

A Craft & Recipe to Celebrate Your Favorite Furry Friends
The only thing that can make a great movie or TV series even better is a four-legged star. Celebrating pets this month, Netflix has pulled together a few of our favorite dogs, cats and even monkeys who hit the big screen. Aside from upping the cute factor, these loyal companions can deliver important lessons on courage, protection and love. I grew up with lots of pets in the house and I think at one time we had over 10 dogs, 3 cats and a couple goldfish living at our place. Granted, eight of those were puppies our Standard Poodle had just given birth to, but I have always enjoyed…

An Electronic You’ll Want to Buy Your Kids This Holiday Season
Note: I was selected for this opportunity as a member of Clever Girls and the content and opinions expressed here are all my own. I’m not sure about how easy it is for you to get your child to brush their teeth, but it is a real challenge in our house! Usually, I have stand there with her and watch while she brushes her teeth – which is usually too short of a time for my liking. I have to constantly remind her to spend more time brushing. I have tried lots of different ways to get her excited about brushing her teeth longer like the singing toothbrushes, funny characters and…

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…
