Clever, kindhearted Kubo (voiced by Art Parkinson of “Game of Thrones”) ekes out a humble living, telling stories to the people of his seaside town including Hosato (George … [Read more...]

Posted on August 17, 2016 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: Crunchies, Freeze Dried Fruit, healthy fruit snacks | 6 Comments

Getting my daughter to eat her five servings of fruits & vegetables is sometimes a challenge. It’s even hard for me sometimes! This summer we've been busy & on the go, so sometimes that means grabbing a snack for the car ride to tide us over until we reach our destination. During those times when my kiddo wants that satisfying "crunch" from a cracker or chip, I've been swapping out her chip bag for Crunchies, a freeze dried fruit … [Read more...]

Posted on August 8, 2016 | Filed Under: Local Events | Tags: Anaheim theme parks, Ghost Town, Knott's Berry Farm | Leave a Comment

Burgerim: Always More Than One {Foodie Review}

Posted on August 4, 2016 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: Burgerim, mini burgers, sliders | 2 Comments

Who can resist a slider? These fun-sized mini burgers can be customized at Burgerim with different flavors of meat (even veggie!), toppings & burger buns. After shopping at The Grove, my daughter & I drove over to the corner of Western Avenue & Melrose to have a late lunch at Burgerim. My kiddo loves cheeseburgers & fries, so I figured this would be the perfect place. As soon as we walked in, we browsed the menu to see … [Read more...]
