    Mountains, vineyards, farms, ocean and theme parks – California has something for everyone.

    November 8, 2019 /

    “We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.” ~ Anonymous Mountains, vineyards, farms, ocean and theme parks – California has something for everyone. Whether you are traveling from near or far, there are hidden gems to discover. Our latest discovery is Visalia located in the San Joaquin Valley which is 190 miles north of Los Angeles. Known to many as the gateway to the Parks, many visitors enjoy Visalia’s food, fun and festivals on their way to Sequoia and King’s National Parks.  Driving out of LA and into the small town charm of Downtown Visalia is a great weekend getaway. One of the best perks…

    Travel :: A Visit to Idyllwild

    March 7, 2019 /

      Recently I had a chance to participate in a media trip with ConnectHER Media and visit the lovely town of Idyllwild.  This was my first time visiting this cute mountain town and I have to say I came away this past week dying to bring my family for a visit as I know they would love the scenery and amazing restaurants.  It is such a gorgeous city and one of the mom’s who helped organize the trip said it hasn’t changed much in the 25 plus years she and her family has visited.  Idyllwild’s visitor center describes the city perfectly.       Idyllwild is a nature-lovers oasis located…

    Experience The Disney Social Media Mom “On-The-Road” Conference With Me!

    September 1, 2017 /

      A few weeks ago I received some Pixie Dust from the crew over at Disney Moms.  They are the group that put on the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration On-The-Road Conferences that are held a couple times a year in various spots across the country.  I always enjoy going to these conferences because it just brings out the kid in me (doesn’t Disneyland do that to everyone?!) and also to hear about the cool things happening with Disney.   We also heard from social media industry experts such as Erin Glover, who is an editor for the Disney Parks Blog and Megan Sayers Chapman from Babble who provided wonderful advice to…

    A Beautiful Fall In Santa Monica

    November 14, 2012 /

    Santa Monica  is a wonderful place to visit any time of year, but Fall is especially nice with beautiful, warm days and lots of fun activities. While it can get a little nippy at night with the ocean breeze, a sweatshirt or light sweater will usually be enough. Santa Monica hosts many fun activities through the months of October through November. If you missed the Halloween fun, be sure to check out the Thanksgiving and Christmas activities. Every year, Downtown Santa Monica creates a little piece of heaven known as ‘ICE at Santa Monica‘ right on the corner of 5th Street and Arizona Avenue. This incredible outdoor skating rink gives tourists…
