Image courtesy of Flickr Sometimes I think about how much the world has changed in just the past five years. My daughter was about two years old when the first iPhone came out and boy did that open up our world!

Whereas before I had to wait to come home and check my laptop. I do sometimes think that life has sped up a bit because of this ability to…

The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption Helps Find Forever Homes
Image courtesy of The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. Our family is a big supporter of adoption for we were looking to adopt prior to getting pregnant back in 2005. I was told that I would need some fertility “assistance” to get pregnant due to some female issues but I didn’t want to take that route and take a bunch of hormones since my mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer at an early age. We were going through the process of adoption when I did, in fact, get pregnant with my daughter. But adoption is such a wonderful way to add to your already existing family or help start…

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…
