Published on Wednesday, September 28, 2011 by caryn This giveaway is now closed. Congrats to the winner, Christine! While much of the country is beginning to cool down, we're still warm and sunny here in Southern California (although lately only in the afternoons once the cloud cover has dissipated).

Roar and Snore at the San Diego Zoo Safari Pa...
Published on Tuesday, September 27, 2011 by caryn After watching the film Night at the Museum, I walked away thinking about all the places I'd like to visit "after hours." Wouldn't it be neat to visit Disneyland, a working theater, or the zoo after dark? I think San Diego Zoo Safari Park was one step ahead of the game when they developed their Roar and Snore Safari. You may remember that I recently wrote brief... Read More » -

Disney Store’s Halloween BOOtique
Published on Monday, September 26, 2011 by caryn I cannot believe we're already talking about Halloween! It feels like just a few weeks ago that the weather was warming up and the days were getting longer as we prepared for the beginning of summer. Halloween, for me, really solidifies the fact that fall is here and the holidays are approaching. While we don't particularly enjoy the very scary, dark aspects of Hallow... Read More » -

Cover It Up! Respect The Roll!
Published on Friday, September 23, 2011 by caryn Over the weekend, my husband and my father-in-law showed off their green thumbs and did some amazing work in our yard.

My Practically Effortless Laundry Regimen
Published on Monday, September 19, 2011 by caryn Up until a few weeks ago, I didn't really have a laundry regimen. We have a white basket that sits outside of our bedroom door and most of the time, all our clothing makes it's way in there. Laundry is one of those chores that I don't despise, but don't particularly enjoy. But if I did not do the laundry, it would not get done. My husband is such that I'll start... Read More » -
