My family and I just had the best staycation at the Sheraton Carlsbad Resort & Spa. The main reason we picked this location is because of its proximity to LEGOLAND California. The resort is literally next door to the theme park and even has a private entrance and parking lot! It was our first time staying at… Read More
My family and I were so excited to be invited to celebrate the GRAND OPENING of the new THE LEGO® MOVIE™ WORLD at LEGOLAND CALIFORNIA this past week.

Your baby or toddler are pacifier obsessed and you are ready to wean them. But how do you do it that won’t traumatize them or make your job as a parent more difficult?

But I also noticed that when I didn’t make my mental wellbeing a priority, I would became suffocated by stress and even some resentment…. Read More
For anyone who knows me well, knows that I love to travel. And I have to admit that I thrive when I am traveling. Maybe it’s all the fresh air and time away from stressful daily responsibilities or maybe it’s all the quality family time and fun we have exploring the world. Either way, traveling is a form of self care… Read More
Siblings have such a unique relationship that is unlike any other.
