Garden :: How to Make a Fairy Garden
Months ago my daughter and I were walking along the Los Rios Street in San Juan Capistrano in a quaint area that has one of the oldest Missions in California, and tons of adorable and inviting shops. We took the train down for a visit and had a wonderful girls-day out. The nursery was having a Fairy Garden demo class and invited us to join them. After that class I was sold on Fairy Gardens and have been meaning to do another one with my daughter. We found some great ideas from other bloggers that provide a step-by-step tutorial on how to make your won garden this summer with the kids. …

Recipes :: Back to School Lunch Ideas
The other day I was talking to a mom friend and we were complaining about what we were going to put in our kids lunch boxes each day now that school started this past week. I mean I can only make PB&J so much and she will only eat it so much… so off I searched Pintrest to find some healthy lunchbox ideas. Part of the appeal of making a yummy lunch that they will actually eat (there have been many a time she comes home hungry with a full lunch in her lunchbox) is making it look appetizing and fun. I love the following ideas and know that it won’t take me too long…

Take a Trip Back in Time with The Medieval Times Show
Last week I was contacted by the crew over at The Medieval Times to see if I would like to check out the show in Buena Park. I had not seen the show yet which is surprising since I have lived in Orange County most of my life (minus my college years and traveling). My seven year old was so excited to see real knights on horses fighting and jousting. A brand new show opened up this year and celebrates the California Castle’s 25th anniversary, The Medieval Times 30th anniversary, and its recent $2.5 renovation. We arrived just as the show was about to begin, but I would recommend to come at least an half hour…

Play :: Celebrate National Friendship Day
“Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art… It has no survival value; rather is one of those things that give value to survival. “ – C. S. Lewis Friendships are so important to help you get through the rough times in life and enjoy the happy times. I think back to the women I’ve met along the way and who have had an impact in my life and I am so thankful we crossed paths. Some of these friends I am no longer in touch with but I still look back fondly on these friendships. I was so happy to hear that there is a national…

6 Mind-Blowing Health Benefits of Juicing
Forget store-bought juices. They’re usually pumped full of sugar, preservatives, and other chemicals that don’t do your body any good. What you need is a juicer, a machine that squeezes the juice out of fruits and vegetables.

Ingesting juiced fruits and vegetables helps remove toxins from your body.
