What’s Hot In Southern California: Camp Spooky at Knott’s Berry Farm
Image courtesy of Knott’s Berry Farm. Southern California has no shortage of entertainment venues. But when we decide to treat our kids to an amusement park, we head to Knott’s Berry Farm. As America’s First Theme Park, Knott’s is rich in both fun and history. You can wander through Ghost Town, take a trip back in time at the Western Trails Museum, climb on board a stagecoach, or hitch a ride on the Calico Railroad for a ride around the park (with an appearance by the friendliest train robbers you’ll ever meet). Knott’s features seasonal events, and with Halloween approaching, they have transformed the park accordingly. At night, the…

Tips from “The Sleep Doctor” Dr. Breus to Help Children Sleep
When my daughter was little, I was very anxious about her getting her daily naps. I knew that if she didn’t get that time she would be over tired and thus cranky (who wouldn’t be?) and usually meant she would go to bed too early and wake up too early. Not a fun schedule to be on! But sometimes children don’t want to get on a sleep schedule which can make for a difficult time for already tired parents. Here are some tips from Clinical psychologist Dr. Michael Breus, one of the nation’s top sleep experts, who offers some advice to parents! Tips On Helping Children Sleep …

My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks Coming to Theaters this Weekend
My husband is probably not going to be too happy that I am sharing this with you all… but he and my daughter watch My Little Pony just about every other night. It is so funny watching them and hear them conversing about the show, the characters and the powers each little pony has. He could easily cite all of their names AND what their special powers are. It is so funny and I was surprised to hear them talking back and forth in all seriousness about certain stories. I do love My Little Pony because it teaches kids about friendship, about what it means to be a good friend…

The Jolt Sensor Improves Concussion Identification in Youth Athletes
A few weeks ago I was contacted by a company whose Kickstarter campaign and product really intrigued me for several reasons. When my daughter started playing soccer, I was a bit concerned as I had read that the most head injuries for girls occur in soccer and cheerleading. Their developing brains aren’t really set up to be taking hits from a rather hard soccer ball. I realized that at this young of age, most of the girls are not heading the ball, but as she develops and grows, she will be put in situations where she might be heading the soccer ball more often. Truth be told,…
