First Time at Knott's Berry Farm
Tuesday, July 8, 2014 6 comments Kid Friendly, LOCAL LOVE, Theme Parks

First Time at Knott's Berry Farm

This was not only Stevie’s first trip to Knott’s, but mine too!  I have been to Knott’s SCARY Farm a couple times – but that is much different than the regular ol’ berry farm.  We spent our day in the Camp Snoopy area and Stevie loved it. He initially did not want to get on any rides…

Marina Del Rey Beach Day

Marina Del Rey Beach Day

Let me tell you a little something about taking a 3-year old to the beach.  Actually, I should clarify. Because I have seen plenty of Instagram photos and Facebook posts where 3-year olds are having an amahzing time at the beach. So, correction: Let me tell you a little something about taking MY 3-year old to the beach. (and a…

Underwood Farms: Somis Location

I’ve only been to Underwood Family Farms at Halloween time to pick pumpkins.  But I had never been to their smaller farm in Somis.  It was so nice!  The weather was pleasant and the berries were ripe.  We were on the late side for blueberries, so there wasn’t much to speak of.  But the strawberries!…

AFL: LA Kiss

AFL: LA Kiss

In a couple weeks, Paul will be transitioning over to a new show – a documentary style reality show about the LA Kiss football team. Did you know LA had a football team?!  Neither did I. It’s owned by Mr. Gene Simmons himself and it’s part of the AFL (arena football league).  They play indoors…

Los Angeles County Museum of Art

Los Angeles County Museum of Art

… or LACMA for short.  You all know what it is.  There was free admission yesterday, so I thought I’d take the Stevie.  We actually never even made it inside, but he liked the elevated mass, the tar pits and the light installation.  Well he liked them second best to the stairs and the ramps.…

Riding the Burbank City Bus

Riding the Burbank City Bus

Stevie has really started to develop a thing for trucks and buses.  Well that’s not true – he’s liked them for quite some time, but it was hard to tell since he called everything by the name of UH!  So lately I’ve been encouraging him to tell me what he is seeing.  He is getting…

Book of Mormon Musical at the Pantages

Book of Mormon Musical at the Pantages

Opening night at The Book of Mormonnnnn.  I was there! What can I say about it?  Everyone knows it’s insanely offensive and completely hilarious, right?  I was a little bit nervous going in that it would be too offensive for my sweet, innocent little ears. I grew up as a Mormon.  And even after I…

A Local Favorite Restaurant: SWEETSALT

A Local Favorite Restaurant: SWEETSALT

I loved this restaurant right off the bat, because it reminded me of a sweet little diner you’d find maybe in Soho or Greenwich Village.  Don’t I sound like I know New York City so well from the two whole times I’ve been there?  I don’t.  But this restaurant just gives off a vibe.  One…

Blessing Bag Distribution in Downtown Los Angeles

The holidays can be a difficult time of year to find balance.  I know personally, it’s my busiest time.  The calendar is full end to end.  I feel overwhelmed and tired.  I haven’t even touched on the day to day tasks.  And besides managing everyday life, I want to be in the giving mood and…

Thanksgiving Plans vs. Reality

Thanksgiving Plans vs. Reality

The Good News: Paul had the whole week of Thanksgiving off. The Plan: Relax! We would drop Stevie off at school and go see movies.  We would pick him up and go play. We would get lots of rest.  We would go on a couple dates.  Eat yummy food and maybe pretend we were somewhere…
