Don't Forget to Be Awesome!




This week one of my daughter's darling dance teachers had a birthday.
Her favorite color is orange!
I wanted her to remember how much I appreciate her love for my little girl.
So I made her this printable and put it in an orange frame!

If you want one too, you can download it HERE in orange or pink!
Don't forget to be AWESOME!!

Knott's Berry Bloom!


Last week we went to the premiere of Knott's Berry Bloom!
Knott's has your spring celebration ready with all sorts of fun activities for the whole family!


From the moment you walk in the park, you are surrounded by SPRING!


Spring Snoopy and Friends are there to greet you!


The Topiary Tasting Garden is a great place to sample wine and paired hors d'oeuvres.
For our family there were plenty of refreshing non-alcoholic drinks!
You can purchase a punch card to try everything!


Next we went on a hunt through the park on a search for the Easter Beagle
 that led us to the Easter Egg Garden for a special treat!


Of course we went on all our favorite rides! 
We love the carousel with all the animals to choose from!


The kids love all the Camp Snoopy rides!


On the boardwalk we found life-size games!
Connect 4, dominoes, checkers, and giant dice!


The trains are always a good place to rest your feet and take a ride with your family!


Peanuts' Party in the Park was a GOOD TIME!
So many fun songs to sing and dance along with!


My son was so excited to be pushed around in a giant picnic basket by Charlie Brown!

Knott's Berry Bloom is the perfect place to celebrate my favorite season, SPRING!!
The party is fun for the whole family!

Get your SPRING on at Knott's Berry Bloom
now through April 7th!

Disclosure: We were provided with free admission to Knott's to facilitate this post.

Hyundai Santa Fe's Epic Playdate Weekend!

Our family is pretty busy.
But we love to take a day off for some fun!

 A perfect playdate for us would definitely include donuts...mostly chocolate and sprinkled.


A trip to the park to ride our favorite big orange balloon...


...and a little dance party at Disneyland!


I'm sure there would be a big box of chocolates!


We would jump on the beds until we couldn't jump anymore!


And then dip our toes in the water by our favorite fountain.


We'd pick yellow flowers in a sunny field...


...and catch some waves at the beach!


I'm pretty sure our day would end with a bonfire and s'mores.


Because that's how we roll.

What would you do on your ultimate family playdate??

Hyundai's Epic Playdate Weekend is on April 27th, 9 am to 5 pm in Santa Barbara, CA!
Bloggers (e.g., Dooce, Mighty Girl, Oh Happy Day, Oh Joy, Say Yes To Hoboken, Girls Gone Child, BoingBoing, and How To Be A Dad) are camping on the beach and hosting epic workshops for kids, e.g., ice cream sundae bar, paint fight, kids’ photography class, hula-hooping workshop, and more!

Fantasy Faire at Disneyland!



This week I had a dream come true...


I got to go to the media preview of the new Fantasy Faire at Disneyland!


It was so fun to be there with other great mommy bloggers and social media specialists,


The new Royal Theatre hosts two fun stage shows.
First up was Beauty and the Beast.
So fun!! And so great how it will appeal to boys and girls!


After the show we stopped for a snack at Maurice's Treats!
They have yummy twists, savory and sweet!
My favorite was the Boysen Apple Freeze with Passionfruit Foam!
So yummy and sweet, I can still taste it!


The new princess meet and greet in the Royal Hall is so magical.
The princesses are all so sweet and really take time to talk to the children.
I loved all the royal carpets and chandeliers!


In the middle of Fantasy Faire is Rapunzel's Tower.
She sits at the top and her hair winds round and round.
I can't wait to see it light up at night and sing!


The second show in the Royal Theatre is Tangled.
This was my favorite!
We were laughing so hard at all the puns and shenanigans!


The shows are made even more special with the accompaniment of a live pianist!
He was fabulous and really added to the quality of the show.

Fantasy Faire is located just to the left of the castle
and opens on March 12th!
Don't miss it!

*I was provided entrance and treats in exchange for my review.
I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it!!
