Family :: Best Places to Visit in Southern California
My family moved to California when I was in kindergarten. Before that we lived in Austin, Texas but both my parents were from the Midwest and they told me it had always been their dream to live in sunny California. So when my dad was offered a job in Fresno, California, they jumped at the chance to realize their dream! We moved to Orange County while I was in second grade and I ended up living here through my college breaks. After attending college in Northern California, I travelled and lived abroad for about three years in Asia, but I came back home to Orange County in my late 20’s. My husband and I purchased our first (and present) home about…

Today’s post is brought to you by Roam and Wander. DiDi: iPad Powered Teddy Bear for Little Readers: I recently received the DiDi Teddy Bear (soft and plush it sits up with no problem plus has a teddy bear face without the iPad inserted ~ and my daughter loves “him” just as much without the iPad which is great) from Roam and Wander.

Play :: Time to Embrace Your Inner Rock Star
As the school year draws to a close, school plays and spring musicals are just around the corner. Whether you were Sandy in your high school’s adaptation of Grease or have two left feet and sing off-key (we’re not judging!), Netflix has has some titles that will get you and your kids singing along to some popular show tunes. If you are like most people who grew up watching Grease, you probably know the words to most of the songs from the movie!

Stuck On You :: Worlds Favorite Labeling and Gift Company
Can you believe it is almost summer? Time for summer camp and sleepovers at friends or grandma’s house. Recently, we were treated to a very cool overnight and sports bag from Stuck On You to try out. I really like this company’s products for several reasons. Their latest Penny Scallan Design lunchboxes are just perfect for school and camp because they are made with a material that makes it for easy clean-up. The inside material is insulated so it helps keep the food cool. And the sports bag is going to be perfect for sleepovers at her grandparents, soccer and any other occasion that calls for a duffle bag. There…
