During a visit at the mall for a quick errand, we push the stroller, hold onto the hand of our little one and admire the bright and bold looks that adorn storefronts.

Last year I did research for a post I wrote for a community website about the hungry in America. I was absolutely shocked at the number of children in the states who go to bed hungry. In the state of California, the Childhood Food Insecurity Rate is at 26.8% which equates to 2,453,770 children. These numbers just break my heart and I make it a point to drop off canned goods at our local food bank with my daughter as often as I can. Recently, I came across an organization that is helping to end childhood hunger and I wanted to share this with you to see if you and your kids would like to get involved! I…

What is it about seeing a carousel that immediately lightens my heart and brings me back to my childhood? My daughter loves to ride them whenever we come upon one – whether it be at a shopping mall or at an amusement park. This past week we went to our local zoo that has a gorgeous carousel with all types of animals including a giraffe, eagle, tiger and even a nest that you can spin round and round. If the carousel attendant lets me – I jump on with my daughter and feel about six years old again. Most amusement parks have a carousel. Disneyland in Anaheim has…
