Roaring Nights at the LA Zoo!

Posted on August 7, 2014 | Filed Under: Local Events | Tags: LA food trucks, Los Angeles Zoo, Roaring Nights | 9 Comments

On July 25th, I attended a fun event for adults at the Los Angeles Zoo. The event is called Roaring Nights & as I had mentioned, this is strictly for the 18 years & older crowd. As much as I enjoy taking my daughter to the LA Zoo during the day, there is something to be said for going there at night without the little ones in tow. Sometimes mama needs a night out with friends, am I right?! I met my friend at the entrance of the LA … [Read more...]

Like many Americans, during the 4th of July weekend, I headed to the beach. On that Sunday, I took my daughter to our favorite beach in Santa Monica to escape the San Fernando Valley heat. We had a lot of fun & although my husband had to work, I know that he will definitely be able to attend our next beach outing. When we do go on our next trip, we will be bringing this fun beach kit with us! The Daddy & Co.™ Beach Kit is perfect … [Read more...]

Care Bears Love to Learn – App Review

Posted on July 5, 2014 | Filed Under: Books | Tags: Care Bears Love to Learn, educational app, iPad, tech game | 4 Comments

My daughter loves playing with her dad's iPad. I try to make sure she balances electronic entertainment with reading (an actual book, not on a tablet), playing with her toys & going on play dates with friends. Believe it or not, she's been on an actual play date (both at our home & at her friend's house), where she's asked "Can we play with the iPad?" Sigh... Enter the new Care Bears Love to Learn app which is the first early learning … [Read more...]
