So, because I have so much free time (ha ha) I decided to start a new online community dedicated to flying with kids called Kids Fly Happy. It’s a work in progress, but I’m enjoying it quite a bit.
I will never, ever forget how nervous I was to fly with La Jolla Girl for the [...]

Olive oil has been used for thousands of years to heal, replenish and moisturize skin. It’s a highly effective moisturizer because it resembles skin’s natural oils. I hadn’t seen too many olive oil based skin care products, until I was contacted by Olea Essence. Olea Essence is carried by Whole Foods, and since I shop there [...]

La Jolla Girl loves “playing” our Wii. She’s so young that other than a handful of Wii Fit games, there isn’t anything she’s coordinated enough to play. Jumpstart Pet Rescue is a game for 3-6 year olds. La Jolla Girl has always been a little advanced for her age, so I agreed to have them [...]

Several times already this year, I’ve hesitated whether or not to send La Jolla Girl to school. I’m pretty strict about keeping her home and always err on the side of caution. The times when I hesitate are usually when she’s full energy but is recovering from a cough or has a mild runny nose. The [...]

Over the weekend, I was lucky to attend a Fun, Fit and Guilt Free House Party hosted by Theresa of Rock on Mommies. House Parties are an awesome new idea (or at least new to me) where sponsors can have people try out whatever cool new products they’re marketing. House Parties occur across the country all [...]

Similar to Yelp, you can rate and review places that you’ve been and also check out recommendations from other families about places you’re going. It’s very helpful, check it out! This weeks stop is in San Diego, featuring [...]

I‘ve been increasingly agitated by the mess that Play Doh makes and am uneasy not knowing exactly what’s in it, though it’s non toxic. La Jolla Girl’s preschool teacher always has big mounds of home made Play Dough available for the kids. If it sticks to the clothes, it always washes out. If little specks get [...]

Whenever I’m stumped for a children’s gift idea, I usually head to Geppettos. Geppettos Toys has 8 locations all over San Diego, including one in La Jolla. They were recently featured on the morning news and mentioned some great holiday gift ideas for kids. I hadn’t seen some of these toys before so [...]

I hesitated making the effort to take La Jolla Girl to Disney World when the chances of her remembering it are slim. Would she appreciate it? Would she patiently wait in the lines? Would it be worth the $$$?
At first, I thought a week in Orlando would be too much. I was wrong. It actually allowed [...]

H1N1 is certainly the hot topic these days. Almost every day I hear about someone who knows someone that has come down with H1N1. It’s a little bit scary. As the virus spreads, I wonder if it’s changed the minds of any parents that were against the vaccine in the late summer/early fall. Has [...]
