GIVEAWAY: Irvine Park Railroad Pumpkin Patch 2015!


As soon as fall starts, one of our favorite things to do is visit the Irvine Park Railroad Pumpkin Patch!
It is simply the best pumpkin patch in Orange County!
It is well run and so family friendly!
Not to mention the photo ops are the best, which is my first priority.


My kids are always up for a trip to Irvine Park 
and were so excited when I told them where we were going today!


Our first stop is the face painting booth!
The artists there are always so gifted and can do anything we want!
This year we are obsessed with Pac-man and unicorns.


The cookie decorating booth is a nice place to sit and take a break from the sun 
while the kids decorate giant cookies with as much frosting as their little hearts desire!


Our new favorite this year was the Hayride!
The breeze was nice and we all enjoyed bumping along on the hay bales 
and looking at the beautiful park and its wildlife.


The kids 5-8 can drive their own tractors, always a good time!


Next to the tractor races was another cool activity, panning gold!
The stream is full of little gold nuggets that you can find 
and take home in your own gold pouch!


One of my kids' favorites are the carnival games where they can win prizes!
There is also a bounce house, kid-friendly haunted house and hay maze!


And of course no trip to the Irvine Park Railroad Pumpkin Patch 
is complete without a ride on the train!
You can check out all the fun things the park has to offer 
while learning some amazing park history!

Movie Review: The Identical


This weekend I had the opportunity to see the new movie 
by City of Peace Films, The Identical.


The movie begins in the Great Depression and tells the story of a sweet couple, 
Brian Geraghty and Amanda Crew, surprised with twins, and no money to care for both of them. 

In an agonizing decision, they give one of their precious babies to a preacher and his wife, 
Ray Liotta and Ashley Judd, who are unable to have children of their own.


As the boy grows, he discovers his own musical talents and is drawn to performing 
despite his daddy's wishes that he follow his footsteps into the ministry. 
He is unaware that his twin brother has been following his own musical path.


The movie follows the boys as they lead their separate lives, 
unaware of each other, and with their individual struggles.

I was excited to see The Identical because it was a movie I could bring my whole family to enjoy
 without worrying what language my children would hear, 
or what inappropriate scenes they would see. 

I found this movie to be heartwarming, bringing me to tears one moment and laughing the next!
And we were dancing in our seats to all the great music!

The Identical is out in theaters now!
Go check it out and show the movie industry that we want clean films for families!

Check out The Identical on Facebook and Twitter!
