I know this is a little bit late, but better late than never, right? Last week, I had the priveledge of being on Fox 5 morning news with 5 other San Diego bloggers that I know. It was a ton of fun and aired in 2 parts last Wednesday. Here’s part 1:
Yes, I know I get cut off but I wasn’t saying anything super important anyway. Thankfully, there is a part 2:
So there you have it. I will throw out the disclaimer that I had no intention of wearing black. We had an OJ accident as I was heading out the door to drop La Jolla Girl to school before the segment taped. I needed to grab something clean and presentable, and it wasn’t a well thought out choice. You mothers understand how that goes.

On Saturday, March 20th the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center will be offering FREE ADMISSION all day long from open to close (9:30 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.). Free admission is to our exhibit galleries, and IMAX films will be discounted to $8.50 for person, all ages!
They are doing this in conjunction with the Balboa Park-wide “Family Science Day” to be held on Saturday, March 20th.
Some of the fun activities visitors can take part in, for FREE, at the Fleet that day from 11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. include:
- Make your own spectroscope, similar to the instrument used on the Hubble Space Telescope to measure light coming from distant stars
- See the latest research and images from NASA in the “Origins in Space” exhibition
- See a 1/25 model of the Hubble Space Telescope on display at the Fleet through March 28th only
- Pose for a photo with “Reuben the Astronaut” who will be wearing an authentic NASA Astronaut Space Suit
- Take the Hubble Trivia Challenge for a chance to win IMAX passes, astronaut ice cream and other space-y prizes
Their new IMAX Film, HUBBLE, will also be playing throughout the day at 10:00 a.m.; 12:00 p.m.; 2:00 p.m.; 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. (Film is discounted to $8.50 per/person age 3+)
As I’ve mentioned several times already, La Jolla Girl loves the Reuben H. Fleet. She has seen two IMAX films there and loves the exhibits as well as Kid City. The IMAX films she’s seen are about 45 minutes in length which is perfect for a young kid. I like that the exhibits she’s interested in all have a learning aspect to them.
San Diegans: Save the date for a tweetup there on May 6, details coming soon! We’ll spend a few hours at the Fleet and grab and early dinner or happy hour after with the kids.
What is Dornfelder you ask? That’s a good question. It’s a dark skinned grape originating in Germany. It’s the second most grown red wine grape in Germany and used to add pigment to pale wines. Germany’s viticulture is geared more toward white and pale red wines, otherwise. Dornfelder is not widely [...]

It’s a new season, so it’s time to take a closer look at your family dinner routine for the Spring months ahead. (If you said, “What routine?” this article is for you!)
Disorganization, conflicting schedules and last-minute work obligations can make sitting down together virtually impossible. But [...]
I stopped by the SIP Certified table at the Paso Robles Grand Tasting Tour a few weeks ago. I hadn’t heard of it before, but knew it was something I’d be interested in learning more about. SIP Certified was developed by the Central Coast Vineyard Team, which is a network of farmers located in [...]
I had the pleasure of visiting Armonia Skin Care a few weeks ago and my skin is still noticeably improved. Armonia was recommended to me by Noel at Birdrock Fabrications who is also fan. I dare say, I do know my spas. I have been lucky in that department.
First off, I love how Armonia Skin [...]
