2019 Word of the Year Flowers

I'm really looking forward to 2019! I'm eager to close the chapter of 2018 & begin a clean slate.

It also changed for my hubby. I won't bore you with the details but suffice it to say, we are both happy & content with where we … [Read more...]

Mary Poppins Returns Poster

Mary Poppins Returns is out now in theaters & it is such a delightful movie! Emily Blunt's take as Mary Poppins is fresh & so on point as it relates to the books. I know a lot of people may go into the movie comparing the Julie Andrews version of Mary Poppins to Emily Blunt's. In fact, I watched the original Mary Poppins the day before I screened this film. However I prefer Emily's curt & sometimes cheeky version better. The … [Read more...]

FunBox Instagram

Last weekend I visited a fun pop-up experience in Thousand Oaks with my daughter. FunBox is like heaven for an Instagrammer. It’s a bright, happy space that is very family-friendly. After you check-in with a FunBox staff member at your appointed time, you will be ushered into the FunBox lobby where you’ll immediately encounter the most adorable Teddy Bear Tunnel! After walking through the tunnel (and resisting the urge to … [Read more...]

Santa HQ Entrance

I remember when my daughter was really young & visiting Santa at the local mall was a highlight of the holiday season. Usually it involved waiting in a really long line. Then once you get to the front of the line, you meet Santa, chat with him & then take photos. For children (and adults) who want to meet Santa, there is now an immersive experience called Santa HQ. It’s highly engaging, especially for kids who are growing up in the … [Read more...]
