Money Saving Tips for Family Trips
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and Walmart Family Mobile. All opinions are mine alone. #Tips4Trips #CollectiveBias One of the nice things about having one child is we don’t have to worry about any sibling arguing. Don’t get me wrong, she has a couple close friends that she has grown up with that after playing together for awhile you will hear some type of bickering and nit-picking. But traveling with her can be challenging in it’s own right because she looks to us to entertain her. We are planning on taking a trip up the coast this coming fall break (our summer break ended this week) and…

Movie Review :: All Creatures Big and Small
This past weekend my family and I attended a screening of the new animated movie All Creatures Big & Small which recently debuted on Google Play and in select theaters. Based on the Noah’s Ark story, all the creatures of the world gather to board the great Ark before the flood arrives. This fun and imaginative story includes a few made-up creatures like the Nestrians. As the flood arrives two young animals are left behind and are forced to learn to work together to overcome the challenges of survival. They find friendship and learn a few things about themselves along the way. My kids laughed at the humor and…

Kids will love Camp Google – an online summer camp
This past week was the start of Camp Google featuring Sylvia Earle, marine biologist and Explorer-in-Residence at National Geographic and host of the first week of Camp Google.

Minions :: A Movie Review, Giveaway and Party Ideas
We had a chance to attend a prescreening of Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment’s Minions a few weekends ago and I have to say it is my daughter’s absolute favorite movie she has seen so far this summer. I do think Inside Out is a close second since we’ve seen it five times already but something about these funny little yellow guys had our whole family laughing throughout the movie. At the start of the movie we see that Minions began at the dawn of time where they started as single-celled yellow organisms and evolved through the ages, perpetually serving the most despicable of masters. Continuously unsuccessful at keeping these masters—from T.…

What’s Hot in Southern California :: The Irvine Regional Park
One of the first things I wanted to do when my daughter was first born was take her to the Irvine Regional Park pumpkin patch. We did go when she was only four months old and I was in heaven! See, I had dreamed about doing this with my yet unborn child. While we were dreaming of having a child my mind would go to “I can’t wait to take her to the pumpkin patch!” So it was super exciting for me to take her to the gorgeous Irvine Park years ago. It is now a family tradition and we try to visit every major holiday plus during vacations as there is…
