Summer is almost here and living in sunny California has so many perks! One of our favorite spots to beat the heat has always been Gilroy Gardens theme park, which is only about 20 minutes away from us. We love their Water Oasis, which I have posted about in the past. Well, I have some …

All Things Disney Junior™ :: It’s FRiYAY!
This post is sponsored by Disney Junior™ but the thoughts and opinions as always, are all mine.

Mother and Son Day – The Children’s Discovery Museum
Every couple of months (or whenever I am able to get around to it), I am trying to make it a point to have a special day with my growing boy. I cannot believe he will be THREE at the end of this month and I don’t want to miss a moment with him. He …
