Last week we heard about a special event at the new Boudin Bakery location in Huntington Beach. Over the weekend Boudin Bakery partnered with a local charity; The McKenna Claire Foundation and invited the public to sample the new restaurant during service training days, on the house.
It is so great to be able to support a local cause as well as the Grand Opening of one of our favorite restaurants, we decided to make an evening of it.
With everyone going back to school, I’ve finally been getting in a little “me time”. The plan is to start exercising and eating healthier to drop a few pounds, aiming for my skinny clothes. The problem is – I love snacks! I was recently introduced to This Bar Saves Lives, which are delicious and supports an amazing cause!
I hadn’t realized that severe acute malnutrition leads to 2.6 million deaths per year. That’s where This Bar Saves Lives comes in. They’re the makers of 3 delicious, non-GMO snack bars packed with superfoods.
The Goodwill of Orange County has some amazing sales going on this weekend and I just had to share the news!!!
The Goodwill of Orange County is having an amazing Labor Day Sale! Stop in all this weekend to get ALL kids clothing 0.99 cents each! Pink tagged toys 25% OFF. Pink tagged shoes, all linens & assorted gift bags 50% OFF! This sale will end on Monday, September 1st at 6pm.
With school starting this week, naturally we had to make a stop to The Children’s Place to stock up on their “Back To School” clothes.
My kids LOVE picking out their own clothes – they do have a preference as to what they’d like to wear to school, and since we are not required to wear uniforms, I like to let them pick out their favorite fashions.
Our final stop on our 2 week road trip took us to Solvang.
We absolutely love this quaint little town. First of all, they have RV parking. That is really helpful because these giant coaches are really hard to park when you are being touristy.
I love the element of surprise, especially trying to surprise friends and family. Just a couple weeks ago I tried to surprise my husband with a reunion and celebration of his coaching successes with his softball team alumni. Unfortunately he wasn’t thrilled about the surprise element at all. He wanted to know the details of the evening – a “Surprise” wasn’t good enough. what we were doing etc. But at the end, he did enjoy himself and seeing all the girls, but when I put a Prize Candle in front of him, he was as impatient as a kid.
We received a Prize Candle to sample, and took it with us camping. I just love hanging out around the picnic table chatting or over a meal, while burning a candle and a fire.
The end of summer? Can it be? Last night we were invited to sample a new restaurant: Sessions, Newport Beach which offers a variety of specialty sandwiches – the hubby’s favorite!
Surfers and beach goers are going to LOVE Sessions. With a simplistic design and conveniently located minutes from the beach, it’s the perfect spot for either dining in or grabbing a sandwich to go.

Attention Disney Fans: Mickey Mouse and his band of friends, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy will be performing in a music mash-up when Disney Live! Mickey’s Music Festival debuts in Long Beach September 13th & 14th and Hollywood September 19th – 21st.
Tacos! I LOVE TACOS! Especially a good burrito! You know, I can eat Mexican food for practically every meal and I’d be content. Having heard of Chronic Tacos, I was excited at the opportunity to visit a local restaurant and experience the “Chronic Taco”.
With fall quickly approaching, many families are getting into outdoor activities with the youngsters. The Fall soccer season is just getting going and Super Soccer Stars has several convenient locations in Orange County.
With the lowest child-to-coach ratios in Southern California, Super Soccer Stars teaches soccer skills in a fun, non-competitive and educational environment. Through an age-specific curriculum, soccer is used to nurture, build self-confidence and develop teamwork. Low child-to-coach ratios and positive reinforcement ensure that each child improves at his or her own pace while having a blast!
Now that the Road Trip is over, and I’ve shared the story, I have a couple of things still left to do with regards to the trip. One is create a memory book with the 1,000 plus photos (yes a little overboard) I took, and the second thing I wanted to do was create some personalized artwork to hang up in the RV to remember our inaugural trip. I found the perfect wall piece that I could personalize with photos and a little creativity from Ink Garden.
