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…

The Langham Huntington Hotel is a Must-See Travel Destination
In January I attended the PBS Winter Press Tour and had the fortune to stay at the lovely Langham Huntington, Pasadena Hotel which is situated at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains. I always enjoy going to the PBS events because it reminds me how much I love their programming, but this Winter Tour was extra special because of the accommodations courtesy of The Langham Huntington, Pasadena Hotel. Driving through the gorgeous older Pasadena neighborhoods you are taken back in time. These neighborhoods were most likely built in the 1940’s and I can only imagine all the hustle and bustle of Hollywood during that time. To provide a visual,…

Medieval Times: A Knight To Remember
The moment you enter a Medieval Times castle you are transported to the 11th century and a time of knights and nobility, surrounded by grand décor and regal characters. I was invited to attend an event at Medieval Times in Buena Park, California to get a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into making Medieval Times the #1 dinner attraction in North America. Hours before the show, the castle was bustling with people preparing for the evening event. We toured the main areas of the castle first where we received an up-close look at the knights and horses practicing their routines in the arena before the show. The team trains daily…

The Rancho Bernardo Inn Provides a Unique Experience
We had a chance to check out the Rancho Bernardo Inn last weekend as part of their INNfluencer program and was delighted to spend my (forever 28) birthday weekend there! Located in San Diego in a rather quaint neighborhood (you drive through several neighborhoods to get to the serene resort), you are immediately put at ease by the warm and welcoming vibe of the resort. I had visited Rancho Bernardo Inn for the first time last November for a work-related event and vowed to come back as I truly fell in love with the place! On their website they state It’s a place to visit again and again, each time…

Dwell :: TIDY to the Rescue!
A few weeks back I received an adorable mailer from a new company called TIDY. I love this concept and just had to find out more about this cleaning service that provides house cleaning options for busy families. For example, if you want a cleaning person to only tidy up one or two areas in your house before your next party – they will do that for only $40. I like that the services can range from a quick pick up to a very intense top-to-bottom cleaning service where everything in your home is dusted off, cleaned up and sparkly when you come home. I wanted to find out…

What’s Hot in Southern California :: Rancho Bernardo Inn
A few weeks back I had the chance to stay at the lovely Rancho Bernardo Resort Inn in San Diego for a night. I must say it is one of my favorite new places to stay! The resort is really laid-back yet has all the amenities you need – like a wonderful spa, amazing golf course, beautiful fountains throughout, outdoor fireplaces, and the food is quite good. After spending some time laying by the pool I came back to my room to find a plate filled with chocolate chip cookies and milk. Talk about great service. I felt so spoiled eating my cookie and drinking my milk but oh,…
