Dinner + Coffee = Perfect Date Night!
Published on Friday, December 30, 2011 by caryn I know that my husband and I don't get in nearly the time together that we want and need.

Plum District currently has a deal that will get you two Fandango movie tickets and a... Read More » -

Knott’s Berry Farm…A Merry Holida...
Published on Tuesday, December 13, 2011 by caryn Last week, I spent a weekend in New York and was fascinated at how festive the city looks this time of year. Unlike Southern California, where holiday decor is most often seen in specific stores and venues, the entire city of New York is "dressed up" for the season, with virtually no area left untouched. SoCal locals and visitors' best bet for experiencing the mag... Read More » -

My Holiday Shopping Haul
Published on Saturday, December 10, 2011 by caryn As a young, single woman, I enjoyed browsing the sale racks at Macy's and trying on shoes at Steve Madden. These days, it's a rarity if I get an hour or two of uninterrupted time to myself, let alone some time to shop.
