Antonello Ristorante!


If you're looking for great Italian food in Southern California, we've found it!


  I was excited to attend a Girls Night Out last week at with OC Mom Blog
at Antonello Ristorante to check out their new Enoteca Lounge!


We met the charming owners, Antonio and Fiorella Cagnolo!
They were lovely and I enjoyed them very much!


The menu in the Enoteca Lounge is filled with Italian fare
both familiar and new to me!


My absolute favorite dish was the fried mozzarella!
I don't think I could ever eat an ordinary mozzarella stick again!
These were absolutely fantastic.


There were two pizzettas and this Massimo Classic was my favorite!


The lasagna was creamy and sumptuous!


I was even adventurous and tried the octopus!


The entertainment in the Enoteca Lounge is fantastic!
Rick Parma had me singing and dancing along!


The dessert plate was absolutely amazing!
I loved every bite of it!!

The BEST Parts of California Living!


I love living in California!!
I have lived here almost my entire life, for 35 years!
My husband and I, and our children, were all born and raised here,
and we have no plans to ever leave.


We have lived in several cities, but were always looking for the best situation for our family.
Currently we live in Ladera Ranch and couldn't be happier!
We love all the beautiful foliage and landscaping,
 and the family environment is so valuable to us!


Our kids love to be outdoors and play, and this is the place to do it!
There are so many children to play with, that my kids are never lonely!
Because the houses here are new, they require little maintenance,
which gives us more time to play!


One of the best parts about living in Southern California is the fabulous weather!!
Here we are in January playing in the water in our swimsuits!
The pools here are open year-round to keep us cool on warm days throughout the year!
The weather is usually pleasant enough to leave our windows open for fresh breezes.
Our utility bills are low as well, because of the moderate temperatures.


Another great perk to this great place is the close proximity to fun!
We are centrally located to Disneyland, Knotts Berry Farm, Sea World, and so many others!
Our kids are so fortunate to have the opportunities to visit so many places
all within a short driving distance.


My absolute favorite part of where we live is the beach!!
Whether we are building sandcastles, riding the waves, or just making s'mores at the fire pit,
the beach is a place of endless adventure and great memories for our family.

If this sounds like a place your family would enjoy,



I was selected for this opportunity as a member of Clever Girls Collective, and the content and opinions expressed here are all my own.

Knott's Berry Farm: Boardwalk Expansion!!



Exciting changes are coming to Knott's Berry Farm this summer!


Starting May 30, you can check out the new Boardwalk,
with 3 new rides and a whole new feel!


I got to tour the site of the 3 new rides on the Boardwalk
and meet Snoopy, who was overseeing the operation!
Construction began last September, and crews have been working
round the clock to finish for the opening on Memorial Day weekend!


These 3 rides will make the Boardwalk so much fun!
I can't wait to take my family to try them out!

Coast Rider is a brand new roller coaster, engineered in Germany!
The ascent to the top will have everyone clinging to the handrails 
for the ultimate family coaster experience!

Pacific Scrambler is a classic midway attraction
that has been giving families a disorienting thrill ride for decades!
Riders can't help but smile as they are spun in all different directions!


Surfside Glider is a ride my whole family can enjoy!
Taking the ride into their own hands, guests can pilot their own glider!
From a height of 28 feet, these two-man aircrafts zip through the air 
providing a bird’s eye view of the Boardwalk area 
as they glide over Boardwalk Bay.



This awesome time lapse video gives you a behind-the-scenes look
at the making of the new Boardwalk!
It's so cool to see it built literally from the ground up!

To take advantage of all the new offerings and experience all of Knott’s Farm Fresh Fun,
 the park is selling 2013 Season Passes for only $72.00 
or 6 easy payments of $12.00 for a limited time.  
As a Season Pass holder guests receive:

Unlimited visits for the entire 2013 season
No blackout dates.  That’s right, no blackout dates.
Discounts at select food and merchandise locations
Discounts on Halloween Haunt Tickets
Early ride time on select rides during summer
Other great Season Pass perks and surprises throughout the year!

Disney's Planes Sneak Peek!



We are so excited about the new Disney film Planes!
Enjoy this sneak peek!


From above the world of “Cars” comes “Disney’s Planes,” 
an action-packed 3D animated comedy adventure featuring Dusty (voice of Dane Cook), 
a plane with dreams of competing as a high-flying air racer. 
But Dusty’s not exactly built for racing—and he happens to be afraid of heights. 
So he turns to a seasoned naval aviator who helps Dusty qualify to take on the defending champ of the race circuit. 
Dusty’s courage is put to the ultimate test as he aims to reach heights he never dreamed possible, 
giving a spellbound world the inspiration to soar. 
“Disney’s Planes” takes off in theaters on Aug. 9, 2013. 
For more information, check out Disney.com/Planes

Today we had the extreme pleasure to go to Bubblefest at the Discovery Science Center!


Bubblefest has been going on for several years and this was our first year!
We were so excited to see what it was all about!


The first thing we experienced was Bobble Lagoon!
We had seen these huge inflatable balloons at other venues,
and were so excited to try them out!


I had so much fun watching the kids tumble around in the water,
and was thrilled I could try it out too!
It was AWESOME FUN!!


Who doesn't love a huge inflatable slide!?
My kids went up and down as many times as they could
on this big bubble of air!


My kids are big fans of bubble making,
and it was so fun to watch them learn to make the giant bubbles!


Discovery Science Center is known for successfully mixing fun and education,
and this exhibit is no exception!
My kids were learning without even knowing it!


The crowning event of Bubblefest has got to be the Mega Bubble Show
by world famous Deni Yang!
The Mega Bubblefest Laser Show features a bubble carousel, 
bubbles within bubbles, smoking bubbles, spinning bubbles, 
bouncing bubbles and bubbles in all shapes and sizes.
We were mesmerized by all he could do with a bubble!!


Deni Yang has won multiple Guiness World Records
and is a fantastic showman!


Don't wait, hurry down to Discovery Science Center for BUBBLEFEST!
You DO NOT want to miss this amazing spring break event!!
And don't forget, you can also catch the phenomenal Indiana Jones exhibit
