Crafts :: DIY Decorative Halloween Pumpkins
Spiders, skeletons, spooky ghosts and pumpkins! That is what October is all about. I always try to do something fun with our pumpkins and this year I have decided to make them less scary and more decorative. I may even decide to keep them around until Thanksgiving, with minor adjustments of course. Seasonal crafts can turn out to be pretty expensive but with a good eye you can make some that are more affordable. What I like and look for are flowers and ribbons, pieces of fabric in colors I love. And of course, I love to glitter too. You will need: Fake craft pumpkins I bought mine at Michael’s…

Knott’s Spooky Farm : Fun for the Whole Family!
Image courtesy of Knott’s Berry Farm. Last weekend we had a chance to check out the new Knott’s Spooky Farm and loved every minute of it. Going on every weekend for the month of October, Knott’s Spooky Farm is a daytime event and a non-scary celebration of cheer rather than fear with shows and activities all geared for kids ages 3-11. There are a ton of Halloween activities for kids throughout the park. Kids can take part in “Snoopy’s Costume Contest and Dance Party” and also visit the Camp Spooky Theatre to view “The Monsters are Coming, Charlie Brown”, a new Halloween show where everyone will be singing and dancing in the…

What’s Hot in Southern California :: Knott’s Camp Spooky Halloween Event
If you grew up in southern California you probably have visited Knott’s Berry Farm theme park as a kid. I loved going to Knott’s and remember eating the yummy pie and funnel cakes. In fact, I wanted to share the Knott’s Berry Farm experience with my daughter, so we purchased the year-round tickets this year. It is quite the bargain and we have full access to the park year-round (and even the water park) for under $200. Last time my daughter and I went to Knott’s Berry Farm we headed to the famous Mrs. Knott’s Restaurant and ate a delicious plate of fried chicken and her famous pie. We even…

What’s Hot in Southern California :: Tanaka Farms
One of the first things I wanted to do after my daughter was born was to take her to Tanaka Farms Pumpkin Patch during the month of October. For many years while we were trying to conceive, I would see all the moms and children walking around Strawberry Farms and wished that someday I could take my own child to all of the activities they host over the year – especially during the month of October as I love Halloween and they offer a great petting zoo, a large selection of pumpkins and fun knick knacks for sale. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays and sharing this with my child was something I was really looking forward…

Haunted Lagoon: Dreams and Nightmares In Laie
It’s time once again to face your fears. October is upon us, and now is the perfect time for a ‘Haunted House‘ pick me up. This past week I had the chance to visit a very ‘fun twist’ on a Haunted House; the Haunted Lagoon in Laie, Oahu. It was amazing! What could be better than a haunted lagoon, a canoe ride, dozens and dozens of swamp creatures and ghostly apparitions? What a Halloween treat! Laie is a small town on the North Shore of Oahu. Even though it’s a small town it gets plenty of traffic because of the BYU Hawaii campus, the LDS Temple and The Polynesian Cultural…
