American Girl Story Ivy & Julie_Poster

The following ‘American Girl Story’ post was sponsored by KidzVuz for Amazon Studios. All opinions are my own. American Girl is a company & brand that celebrates girls, encouraging youngsters with aspirational stories & products, and gives little ones the opportunity to learn about another culture or period of time. There is even a store at The Grove (a popular shopping center in Los Angeles), called American Girl Place, where you can … [Read more...]

Spa Le La Bath

Editor’s Note: As of July 2020, Spa Lé La in Studio City is closed. Spa Lé La is a new spa in Studio City which opened up last month. Now you may think, another spa in the San Fernando Valley? The difference (and it’s a major one) is that this spa caters to mommies. I attended a media preview of Spa Lé La in February, where I got to take a tour of the spa, as well as mingle with other mommy bloggers & influencers. The room … [Read more...]

We were in Orlando for our week-long family vacation & one of the things that I had on my “to do” list was to try out the "Beauty and the Beast" themed restaurant. We had made reservations five months before our Orlando trip due to the popularity of the restaurant. Quite frankly, during the summer months practically  every restaurant in WDW is … [Read more...]

My family traveled from the Valley via the 405 Freeway & visited the rock climbing location near LAX.
