Have you heard about the The Illumination Foundation? Its a local nonprofit working to end the cycle of homelessness in Orange County.
The Illumination Foundation opened a new Children’s Resource Center in the Tina Pacific neighborhood in Stanton, CA that has the highest population of at-risk youth in all of Orange County.
It’s amazing to think that Pretend City is in its 4th year entertaining families in Orange County. For the month of August, they are focusing on back to school and keeping children engaged in community activities. Therefore, you’re not going to want to miss their upcoming “When I Grow Up Day” on Friday, August 23rd from 10am – 3pm, where children will be able to engage with professionals and learn about what they do.
Recently my mom moved to Las Vegas from here in Southern California. I thought she was a bit crazy for moving away from this beautiful California weather, and her absolutely adorable grandkids, but since we travel to Vegas a couple of times of the year, maybe it won’t be so bad. The nice thing, my mom and stepdad are discovering some really great places to visit in Las Vegas, especially fun places to take the grandkids, like Waffles Cafe.
Yesterday I was so excited to attend the D23 Convention as part of the Media.
You may be asking, “What is D23”? Well, it is the Ultimate Disney Fan Event. You will hear, see, even engage in all things having to do with Disney from theme parks, movies, video games, consumer products and more.
Will you be heading over to the D23 Expo at The Anaheim Convention Center this weekend? Just warning you, Dr. Doofenshmirtz is primed to take over Disney’s D23 Expo…and the Tri-State Area with his most wacky “-inator” yet — “The Waffle-inator”!
The Waffle-inator is a spectacular 40-foot high interactive game, combining physical and digital worlds — and simulated waffles — in an epic showdown to free Agent P from the clutches of Dr. Doofenshmirtz. Kids, tweens and families can hop aboard and wield the life-size invention to play “The Phineas and Ferb Waffle-inator Challenge,” over three days at Disney’s D23 Expo, the ultimate event for Disney fans, at the Anaheim Convention Center FRIDAY, AUGUST 9–SUNDAY, AUGUST 11.
Premier Exhibitions, Inc. just opened an educational experience in Buena Park: Bodies…The Exhibition and invited us to check out the exhibit during their grand opening.

Bodies…The Exhibition: What an amazing opportunity to get a look inside the body!
Since I’ve started Toddler Trails, I’ve had some fun opportunities for the family. With Disney’s Planes opening tomorrow, we were invited to a pre-screening of the movie in 3D, so The Hubster and I decided to keep this one a secret from the kids.
Are you a Disney fan like I am? I’m so excited that D23, the ultimate fan expo is coming to Anaheim this weekend!
The D23 Expo is Friday through Sunday, August 9 -11 and gives you a sneak peek as to what is coming this year for anything Disney.
A few weekends ago, my family went to Del Mar Racetrack to check out a little culture at the horse races. It was the start of their Free Summer Concert Series. We saw friends, couples, and families cheering, drinking and having a good time.
When I was a kid, one of my favorite times of the year was back to school shopping with my mom and brother. We would generally get it all done in one day, approximately five outfits, pair of shoes and all the school supplies we’d need. Now that my kids are reaching the school years, the tradition continues, but with The Children’s Place!

Epic the movie is coming out on DVD on August 20th, and to celebrate, we’re hosting a Epic Day Backyard Party with some friends this week.
As a kid, I remember the drive in, and how much fun it was to see a movie on a huge screen, outdoors. For our Epic party, we’ve decided to do something related: a backyard movie screening with some fun outdoor activities.
