This past week has been devastating for Southern California residents due to the horrific wildfires that have been plaguing Los Angeles. I am heartbroken for all those affected, especially for the families of the 16 people who have died. There’s so much destruction and loss – as of last night, more than 12,000 homes and structures have been destroyed and roughly 40,000 acres have been burned (an area larger than the entire city of San … [Read more...]

The event was hosted by Cynthia Lopez and attended by bloggers, influencers and their families. After I checked in at the desk, I was handed coins to play. But before I got to the machines, I helped myself to some tacos and drinks from Los … [Read more...]

Back to School_Shopping Guide Banner

Note: I was sent products for inclusion in my back-to-school shopping guide. There are some affiliate links in this article. Parents and students alike are excited (or dreading) back-to-school. Having fun, new items to take to school, read, eat or drink can help take the sting out of it. Even if your child has already started school, it’s not too late to purchase or order these products because they can be used year-round. For the … [Read more...]

Wall - Super Nintendo World

For my family, summer vacation means trips to the beach, staying up late and visiting local theme parks. A few days after my daughter took her last final, we headed over to Universal Studios Hollywood to check out Super Nintendo World, drink some Butterbeer and go on the World-Famous Studio Tour (aka the Universal Studios tram ride). After going through the security screening and turnstiles, we headed straight for Super Nintendo World. The … [Read more...]
