Howard Johnson (HOJO) Anaheim Hotel Stay
Today is the day that California officially opens up! Celebrate, hallelujah… you get it! And with the opening, Disneyland has also announced that it will end it’s mask requirement for anyone who has been vaccinated. This is big news, especially as temperatures rise here in sunny SoCal. Which means, it just might be time to plan for your next Disney vacation. Our family in fact went to Disneyland last week and the magic is back and in full force… heh… “the force”. However, if you haven’t experience the new Star Wars land and especially Rise of the Resistance, plan your trip now. That ride alone is worth all the effort…

Village at La Floresta: The Perfect Date Night
Pandemic. This simple statement has flipped 2020 upside down and left us reeling. School is still up in the air, kids are constantly around, and there is a lot of pressure on adults to keep everything going and going well. And this mom is stressed! Like beyond stressed.

So many places are closed and not even all restaurants have the capability to be open at this time, simply exacerbating the already hard situation. So, it was quite welcomed finding a fun place this week for my husband and I to go out, without kids, and…

OC BubblePOP: The Unique Indoor Bubble Experience For the Whole Family
One of my all time favorite parts of the Wizard of Oz was when Glenda the Good Witch of the West came floating into Munchkin Land in that awesome bubble of hers. It was just so magical. I’m not going to lie, even as an adult I’ve often wondered how the crew pulled that one off. I mean, color was a pretty big deal back then, so I am pretty sure they didn’t have the CGI technology to put that bubble around her. And it looks pretty legit. Like, how?! Now I am wondering if they somehow got the same tools used at the newest indoor playground, BUBBLEPOP! Because that…
