Confession time, kiddos! Until the other day, I hadn't been to Universal Studios Hollywood in so long that my only memories were photographs of me as a tiny tot. Seriously. What was I thinking staying away for so long? Even with our busy lives up here, there's no good excuse to keep away from "The Entertainment Capital of L.A." With my parents and fiance in-tow, I set off to prove that even at…

Theatre and Dining

Over the years, I’ve noticed that combining “Dining” with “Theatre” can prove to be a difficult task.  Somehow most theatres just can’t seem to find that magic.  They always seem to compromise the quality in dining in exchange for the theatre experience. Of course, in the larger metropolitan areas such as New York and Los Angeles, top-tier venues seem to be ubiquitous, but you’ll seldom find them in Orange County.…

I am so excited to see that you are offering the family 4 pack to San Diego Zoo Safari Park.  My two youngest kiddos share a birthday of January 13.  My son is about to turn 11 and my daughter is about to turn 7, two siblings on the same day was "cool" for them the first 3 years.  Then, the obvious differences of girl vs boy, brother vs. sister, and age became more of a headache instead of the "greatest gift of having a little sister as a birthday present" as it once was. We are hoping to…

i have a confession to make…i really don’t know much about frank sinatra. i mean, i don’t live under a rock or anything. i am somewhat familiar with his work. i just wouldn’t classify myself as a connoisseur of the rat pack. if anything, i guess i’d be more of a dean martin fan. he was way hotter.  so when i entered this contest to win tickets to the frank sinatra show, come fly away, i didn’t do it for myself. i did it for a boy. and i know what you’re thinking…what DON’T you do for a boy?…

I entered this sweepstakes not expecting to win but to some miracle I had hit the jackpot! I couldn't stop squealing with joy! Not only did I get four tickets but I got not one but I got a dinner voucher for four at Wood & Vine and I got to stay at the W hotel!

The food was great! Their much raved about chicken and waffles was every bit delicious as they said it would be but my favorite would have to be the flat iron steak. It was tender and the potato puree had a sweetness to it…
