Disney’s Food & Wine Festival
Published on Wednesday, April 7, 2010 by caryn Last year, around this time, I was pregnant...and sick, sick, sick! I had aspired to take my husband to Disney's California Adventure Park to experience their Food & Wine Festival, but never actually made it. This year, I am definitely planning on leaving the kidlets with my parents for a couple's day out! This is the fifth annual Food & Wine Festival... Read More » -

Take Me Out To The Ballgame…Chipmunk St...
Published on Saturday, April 3, 2010 by caryn Remember when we took my son to see Alvin, Simon, and Theodore? Well...he has not stopped talking about them. Although I think the movie (Alvin & The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel) is a bit mature for him (my husband disagrees), he has seen it more than a few times. It's actually quite cute, upbeat, and fun (and the music will stick in your head for days!). ... Read More » -

She Speaks…
Published on Tuesday, March 30, 2010 by caryn Writing, for me, is a passion...and outlet of sorts for a bit of creative expression and unleashing of the thoughts and feelings I can't verbally express. When I'm struggling with the frustration of how to deal with my toddler's strong will and independence...or how to comfort a friend who's world was turned upside down just a few weeks ago by life...or how to chang...

El Pollo Loco’s Stampede For Steak
Published on Tuesday, January 19, 2010 by caryn We've been eating out a lot lately. What can I say? We're in survival mode. I always prefer a home-cooked meal, but I'm still getting a handle on this infant/toddler schedule, so I'm giving myself a tiny break from the kitchen. El Pollo Loco, a restaurant chain my husband and I have eaten at on numerous occasions, is now offering sirloin steak. Their new menu ... Read More » -

Disney On Ice Skates To Southern California
Published on Saturday, December 19, 2009 by caryn I have to admit that I'm a bit bummed about the timing of this event, but we may actually end up going since it looks like this baby is going to wait a couple of more weeks. And while the timing of this event isn't particularly great for this 37 week pregnant mama, it is the perfect season to watch a performance of Disney On Ice Presents Worlds of Fantasy. ...

All Aboard the Choo Choo Train…
Published on Sunday, October 25, 2009 by caryn My son has an affectionado towards a certain mouse. Perhaps it was our weekly trips to Disneyland (now less often because of the pregnancy) that make Mickey Mouse the exception when it comes to gigantic costumed characters. Earlier this week my little boy and I were supposed to join 30 preschoolers in LA this week for the conclusion of Mickey's Virtual Train Tour.... Read More » -

Published on Wednesday, October 7, 2009 by caryn Last week we took my son trick or treating...at Disney's California Adventure!

Published on Tuesday, September 15, 2009 by caryn I hope some of you were able to join in on last week's GNO (on Twitter). It was so much fun that I'm participating again this week. This week's topic is all about family togetherness and mealtime. Dinner is the only meal where all three of us can sit down together so it's important to me that we do this every night.
