The Wonderful Land of Oz At The San Diego County Fair
The 2019 San Diego County Fair is absolutely “Oz-some!” The theme this year of the fair is based off of L. Frank Baum’s ‘The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” and it is absolutely adorable in every way! And, can you see what I did up there with “Oz-some?” As we meandered through the fair, we thoroughly enjoyed the themed characters we ran into, the classic decorations and movie posters, as well as the activities available at certain times; bummed we missed a few too. The fair is the perfect place to spend a summer night with the whole family! What to do at the fair? Watch the pig races, see dogs…

Catch the Storm Play Ball in Lake Elsinore
“Take me out to the ballgame, take me out to the crowd……” Summer and baseball are two things that go hand in hand. Sitting under the bright stadium lights on a cool summer night. The smell of hotdogs and popcorn wafting through the air. Cheers, and music enveloping you as you root, root, root for the home team. A baseball game is all good things summer is and has to offer; and our family was lucky enough to spend a magical evening with the Elsinore Storm this summer. The Storm is all the best parts of baseball without the traffic, crowds, and spending a small fortune on tickets, parking. and…

Soar to New Heights Parasailing Over the Pacific
Dana Point Parasail will provide high flying fun! Every summer I try to think of something my family can do that we’ve never done before. I am over new toys since they tend to just clutter up the house. So rather I try to look for experiences and memories for my kids to have that they will remember and look back on fondly. As it happens, I came across a friend’s post about their fun parasailing adventure through Dana Point Parasail and I thought, “Okay, that’s it”! When I told my mom about it the first thing she referenced was America’s Funniest Videos and asked if we had any of…

The Easiest Summer Ideas With Kids
I love the Summer. I look forward to it every year. I love the long lazy nights, melting popsicles on a hot day, playing in the sand and surf, ice cream, bike rides, swimming, camping, vacation, and mostly having my babies with me allllllll day. I truly miss them during the school year. However, summer can be stressful for that same reason. Kids get bored and want to be entertained. Mom’s sanity sometimes gets pulled to a thin cord trying to keep everyone from bickering. So, in order to both keep kids happy, and mother’s sane, I’ve come up with some ideas of things to do during the summer that…

10 Easy Family Favorite Hikes in Southern California
My family loves to hike. We have started all our kids out young. Do they always enjoy it? No. But, they don’t usually complain much because it’s just something we’ve always done. Now, I am not talking Mt. Whitney here. I am talking a good, solid, let’s almost call them nature walks (usually between 1-3.5 miles). We do have backpack carriers (for the kids), but when possible, we try to use a stroller. Because let’s be honest, who wants to lug a kid around whilst already exerting yourself? Am I right??? And we usually try to get all the “big kids” ages 3+ doing it on their own. Here are…
