We were provided with a vehicle loan for the purposes of this post. All thoughts and opinions are my own. The first time I drove my daughter to school, my husband and I were a mess. Sure, she'd been to preschool, but that doubled as a daycare, so in our minds, it wasn't like actually dropping her off at "school", you know? But there was the first day of kinder, and she was excited while we were … [Read more...]
Sea World Summer- The SoCal Daycation Destination
This post is in collaboration with Sea World. Growing up with 2 siblings and a single mom, summer vacations were carefully planned, budgeted for and a road trip away. To me, summer always meant San Diego and Sea World. Now, many many years later, summer means a lot of things to my family but I still always try to head down to San Diego and Sea World has become one of our favorite placed to … [Read more...]
A Picture Walk Through Walt Disney Family Museum and “Deja View: The Art of Andreas Deja”
A Disney Villain must be frightening, with a touch of humor, in order to both make audiences fear and cheer them. One of the most memorable, and in my opinion, iconic villains to date is Scar of "The Lion King". Not only is Scar voiced by one of the most legendary actors of our time (Jeremy Irons!!!), but everything about how he looks, moves, acts... it's just genius. It should come as no surprise … [Read more...]
Great Wolf Lodge Is The SoCal Family Staycation Destination
Great Wolf Lodge hosted a stay for the purposes of this review. All thoughts are my own. Welcome to Los Angeles, California where the weather is warm, hot and hotter. That's right, we stay hot for almost the whole year, but that's not a bad because that means we have places like Great Wolf Lodge to escape to all year long! I had heard so many great things about Great Wolf Lodge, but … [Read more...]
5 Places To Explore Mexican Culture In Los Angeles On Cinco De Mayo
This post is brought to you by Chevy. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Every year I grit my teeth through all the "Cinco de Mayo" *ahem* festivities that take place. It's not that I mind people having a good time, I don't. I mean, I am all for kicking back at the end of a long week and having a margarita. No, my issue? People have Cinco de Mayo all wrong. Cinco de Mayo is NOT … [Read more...]
How I Gave Sea World A Try- And Loved It! #SeHablaBallena
Disclosure: We were hosted by Sea World and invited on a VIP park tour and special VIP experiences while at the park. However, all opinions are my own... and 100% honest. Truth be told, I almost passed when I received an invite to head down to San Diego to visit Sea World. I, like many of you, had heard all the stories and knew about the film that really burned into everyone's hearts. But, … [Read more...]
Snorkeling With Angry Birds: Discovering Bird Island- By Sea! #AngryBirdsMovie
Now that we have discovered bird island by air, learned a little anger management, it was time to discover bird island in a truly unique manner- snorkeling! Thanks to Sony Pictures, as part of the Angry Birds press junket, a few of us bloggers got treated to a snorkeling cruise that I will never forget. At 5:30am, we met in the lobby to get in the shuttle for a trip about 20 mins away from the … [Read more...]
Finding Dory, Sea Otters and Petting An Octopus At The Monterey Bay Aquarium
How far would you travel to find Dory? Turns out, for me it was a quick plane ride just up the coast to Monterey Bay! Last month, I was asked to go on a whirlwind trip up to Monterey, CA to experience learn about the development and behind the scenes info on the long awaited (ask Ellen DeGeneres!) release of Finding Dory. While I can't share what I learned quite yet (trust me, it is awesome!), I … [Read more...]
Great Wolf Lodge: Family Fun And More In Southern California
California's first indoor waterpark, Great Wolf Lodge, is officially open in Garden Grove. We were invited to the grand opening for a unique staycation where we slid, played and ate well for the weekend. Best of all - access to the massive water park is included in your resort stay. Why an indoor water park in Socal? Why not? It's different, is open rain or shine. The water park is kept at a … [Read more...]
Disney’s Magic Kingdom: A First Timer’s Experience
Our last stop in Orlando while on a press trip to attend the Zootopia press junket at Walt Disney World, courtesy of Disney Studios, was Disney's Magic Kingdom. As a native to Southern California, I gotta say this park was the most similar to Disneyland but it had it's own magic too. Being there, it all seemed like a dream, and ending it at the home of Cinderella's castle seemed appropriate...and … [Read more...]
