Travels with Gannon & Wyatt: Hawaii – Book Giveaway

Posted on August 2, 2016 | Filed Under: Books | Tags: adventure book series, Kid Literature, Travels with Gannon & Wyatt, YA Lit | 7 Comments

I was provided with a complimentary copy of "Travels with Gannon & Wyatt: Hawaii." All opinions are my own. When most people think of Hawaii, images of surfers, sandy beaches & brightly colored fish come to mind. My parents were born in Hawaii & I’ve visited the islands many times, so I know there is much more to explore beyond that, with a culture that is rich in tradition. Travels with Gannon & Wyatt: Hawaii is the sixth … [Read more...]

Posted on July 28, 2016 | Filed Under: Local Events | Tags: Anaheim theme parks, Ghost Town Alive!, Knott's Berry Farm | 30 Comments

Knott's Berry Farm is celebrating Ghost Town's 75th Anniversary this year. With summer winding down, I can't think of a better way to commemorate our summer vacation then by visiting Knott's! The last time my family visited Knott's Berry Farm was in the springtime during their annual Boysenberry Festival. At that time, GhostRider was closed for a nine month restoration project. I'm happy to report that it is back in business & better … [Read more...]

She Stood for Freedom {Book Review}

Posted on July 25, 2016 | Filed Under: Books | Tags: 1960s Civil Rights Hero, Joan Trumpauer Mulholland, She Stood For Freedom | Leave a Comment

I was provided with a complimentary copy of "She Stood for Freedom: The Untold Story of a Civil Rights Hero, Joan Trumpauer Mulholland." All opinions are my own. During the early 1960s, a white teenager living in the South named Joan Trumpauer Mulholland became immersed in the Civil Rights struggle. She organized non-violent sit-ins, attended Tougaloo College (a predominately black college) & participated in protests including the March on … [Read more...]
