LEGOLAND Waterpark!! #LEGOLANDCA
Summ… summm…. summer TIME!!! (be very glad I didn’t record me singing that intro!!) With 54 days of summer break left Alice and I enjoy a couple visits a week to LEGOLAND® California Resort and of course straight back to the Water Park!! LEGOLAND Water Park just gets bigger, better and wetter every year. We can’t wait for the Surfers’ Cove to open! Right now though we adore the wave pool, the lazy river is my allllllllll time favorite place!! There are water slides everywhere. Tons and tons of lounge chairs for a little time out. However, my favorite thing about the LEGOLAND water park? The life guards. There are TONS of…

Summer Fun With Outdoor Movies!!
Summer fun! Summer boredom busters Y’all know that I am trying to find things to do with 6-year-old Alice this summer. So the first thing we did was sit down and make a list of things we wanted to do. Then we cut all the ideas into strips and put them in a container. We have tons of things; going to the San Diego Zoo, LEGOLAND, San Diego Safari Park, movies, tons of pool and beach days. Several of our ideas have multiple strips. I’ve mentioned before that I try everything I can to stretch out the activities so that I’m not pulling my hair out by 11am. First I…

A Case of the Summertime Road Trip Blues for Moms!!
Traveling with children will no doubt make for some lively stories to share at the end of the trip. Grandparents love to hear about their escapades. But when youngsters are confined to a car seat or in a plane seat for more than five minutes, boredom can set in faster than the speed of light. At least if you are in a vehicle, you have an option to stop for a while to give everyone a chance to stretch their legs. Airplanes are another story. If you are able to keep your child – or multiple children – happy and entertained for two hours, you deserve the Nobel Peace Prize.…

Limiting their time in the sun during the middle of the day is a good idea. So is limiting outdoor activity when the UV index is especially high, because protection against ultraviolet radiation is the best way of defense…

Mother Daughter Matching Dresses From ETCYY!!
Alice is over the moon at the prospect of matching Mommy and Me dresses. She insisted we change into the dresses the moment we walked into the house. Once in our dresses she insisted that we go for a walk in our “fancy matching dresses”. So they are definitely a hit! Much twirling, curtsying and spinning. I love the length, for myself and for my 6-year-old daughter. Alice looks so grown up in this black and red dress. While the neckline is great for kids and for small, busted women, it’s not so flattering for full bossomed women like myself. The dress is incredibly comfortable and well sewn. It’s not a…
