To celebrate my sisters’ milestone birthdays, I got to fly out from New Mexico to spend a girls’ weekend in California. Along with our fabulous Mother, we spent a couple of days in Sonoma. As the cherry on top of our little trip, we woke bright and early on Saturday morning and drove to Napa. […]

Girls’ Day at California’s Great America Theme Park
As I mentioned earlier today, this Fall I had the privilege of having a girls’ weekend with a few of my closest girlfriends. It Was A Blast! I think everyone should experience a girl’s night out or weekend away at least once in their life. Now that I’ve had a taste of it I plan […]
Hotel Valencia Santana Row for a Girls’ Night Out in Silicon Valley
I was provided with a complimentary night at the Hotel Valencia Santana Row for a girls’ night out. All opinions expressed are my own. Sometimes a girls’ night out is just what the doctor ordered. My girlfriends and I used to get together almost once a week for lunch, while kids were at school. Because […]
Disneyland Lodging: Sleeping Comfortably at the Crowne Plaza Anaheim Resort
On my recent California vacation with my family, we made sure to stop by Disneyland and California Adventure. Picking the hotel is super important to me and we were lucky to be accommodated by the Crowne Plaza Anaheim Resort. All opinions expressed are my own. When planning vacations, one of the most stressful aspects for […]
Why Disneyland Makes Dreams Come True: I’m Wishing…I’m Wishing…For the Ones I Love
What California vacation would be complete without a stop at Disneyland and California Adventure? Disneyland is, and probably always will be one of my favorite places to visit with my family. Heck, it’s fun with the kids, without the kids, with friends, my husband only, etc. etc. There just seems to be magic in the […]
Nationwide Mimi’s Cafe Revamp with Authentic French Cuisine
It’s no secret how much I love to eat out (read- obsession). That being said, I don’t like to spend a ton of cash on eating out, so most of my forays into restaurants are of the local nationwide chain variety. These satisfy my palate, but don’t leave a memorable “wow” factor. Well, that just […]
Amazing Views, Food & Location from the Hyatt at Capitol Park
I firmly believe in taking a night away from the kids every once in a while to recharge your batteries and reconnect with your spouse. My husband and I got to do just that when we were invited to stay at the Hyatt at Capitol Park, in Sacramento. If you are local and looking for […]
Next Stop Legoland California: Family Friendly Theme Park
I have decided that Legoland is one of my absolute places to vacation with the kids. I haven’t traveled everywhere yet, but out of the places we’ve been, this family friendly theme park seems to suit our family, and the ages of my kids the best! We always have such a wonderful time and never […]
Sea Life & Entertainment at SeaWorld San Diego
It has been a little while since I have written a post about the California vacation my family took this summer. I believe I left off talking about our trip to Cambria and the Hearst Castle. Next up on our adventures was a two-night stay at my cousin’s house in Carlsbad. She was so kind […]
A Day with Grandma at Gilroy Gardens
There’s nothing more relaxing and gratifying to me than a beautifully manicured garden. Add to that the fun of an amusement park and you’ve got the perfect day. That’s what we got when we received some free passes to explore Gilroy Gardens. I’ll freely admit, I’m not a fan of amusement parks. Thrill seeking by […]
