#UnFreshingBelievable Salads From Del Taco + Giveaway!

Posted on October 9, 2015 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: Del Taco, Handcrafted Ensaladas, Salad at Del | 27 Comments

As a busy mom with multiple jobs, there are days when I am short on time. So if that means I don’t get to the grocery store for food shopping or I don’t have time to cook a dinner from scratch (and really, who has time for that 7 days a week anyhow?), then that means I am buying take-out food. On days when it’s more convenient to do drive-through, it’s nice to know that Del Taco has me covered! Del Taco recently unveiled three new yummy … [Read more...]

This post was written by guest contributor Catheryn Cervantes. The LA Zoo has had a bit of a makeover for Halloween.  During the entire month of October, visit the Los Angeles Zoo for a fun filled day with the animals and some creepy critters too. Boo at the Zoo is all new this year with a full month of storytelling, animal feedings, crafts, run ins with strolling characters plus a whole lot more. We attended opening weekend and were able to … [Read more...]

**9/26/16 EDITOR’S NOTE: I was informed via Yelp & also the Fleurish website that the business is closed.** During opening weekend at The Village at Westfield Topanga, I walked into Fleurish & met Allyson one of the co-owners. For those who follow me on Periscope, you may have caught my impromptu interview with her. Fortunately I did save it & you can view it on my YouTube channel.

Burke Williams Day Spa – Woodland Hills

Posted on October 6, 2015 | Filed Under: Misc, Mommy Stuff | Tags: Burke Williams Day Spa, The Village at Westfield Topanga, Woodland Hills Day Spa | 12 Comments

Admit it, we all enjoy a little pampering now & then. As busy moms, we usually tend to put ourselves last when it comes to leisure activities & good old fashioned fun. However I’m a firm believer in taking some “me time” every now & then to get recharged. What is that saying…a happy wife, happy life? Thankfully my husband supports that attitude, so a few times a year I get to sneak away to a day spa to relax. For those who live in … [Read more...]

Scarium of the Pacific – Trick or Treat at the Aquarium

Posted on October 5, 2015 | Filed Under: Local Events | Tags: Aquarium of the Pacific, Long Beach Trick or Treating, Scarium of the Pacific | 17 Comments

Halloween is around the corner & for parents, that means two things – oh geez, what costume am I going to make/buy my child and where do we go for trick or treating? I barely passed my Home Economics class (do they even have Home Ec or is it called “Life Skills” class?), so I can’t sew my daughter’s costume. So off to the pop-up Halloween costume store I go! As for trick or treating, usually we walk around our neighborhood. In years past, … [Read more...]

Posted on October 2, 2015 | Filed Under: Food | Tags: CAKE The Sweets Expo, Club MomMe events, Orange County Cake Expo | 6 Comments

Ok, so you may be wondering why I am blogging about a dessert expo that is in Orange County. Although I am based in “The Valley” (that’s the 818 area code of SoCal), I do travel to Orange County quite a bit. I have family that lives down there AND for those who follow me on Instagram & Twitter, you know that I am at Disneyland quite a bit (shout out to passholders!) I am excited to bring you the 411 of what looks to be an amazing Fall … [Read more...]
