iCapture: LEGO Star Wars Miniland at Legoland...
Published on Sunday, July 8, 2012 by Caryn Bailey Over the last few months, my son has developed a fascination with LEGOS. There aren't many toys that will capture his attention for long periods of time. He enjoys building and I appreciate how this activity helps with his fine motor skills and creative processing.

Blue Marble Spa Fall Relaxation and Escapes
Published on Sunday, November 6, 2011 by Caryn Bailey I think it should be required that each and every mom get an assigned day week afternoon to simply relax in whichever way we choose. Some women find sitting in a coffee shop with a book in hand incredibly therapeutic. Others run, meditate, or do yoga. I find bliss at the spa. Earlier this year, I spent an evening at The Hyatt Regency Mission Bay in San Diego.... Read More » -

Roar and Snore at the San Diego Zoo Safari Pa...
Published on Tuesday, September 27, 2011 by Caryn Bailey 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 » -

Rockin’ Out With Voice Rockrz
Published on Tuesday, June 21, 2011 by Caryn Bailey Music is an integral part of our family. My husband sings and I played the piano for many years. Both of my children enjoy music, particularly my daughter who literally dances every time she hears a song (even if it's simply on television). With reality shows like American Idol, many children and young adults enjoy exploring their own musical talent. Awhile bac... Read More » -

The Hyatt Regency Mission Bay In San Diego
Published on Monday, February 28, 2011 by Caryn Bailey Two weekends ago, my husband and I had one glorious weekend to ourselves, sans children. We take our children everywhere, and the number of evenings our children have been away from us can be counted on two hands...maybe. We don't use babysitters or nannies (although I am not opposed to either) and my son didn't go to preschool until after his second birthday. T... Read More » -

Lattes On the Cheap
Published on Thursday, February 4, 2010 by Caryn Bailey With all the money I spend at a certain coffee shop, I should own a part of it...like a table or a brick...right? I just love my coffee. Unfortunately, I like the "froofy" drinks...the mochas and lattes and ice-blended drinks that cost the most. Last week I had the opportunity to take some latte lessons from National Barista Champ Heather Perry. This is the s... Read More »
