Tech Review: SANUS 4-in-1 iPad Mount

All opinions are our own. If you’re looking for a hands-free option for your iPads, SANUS offers a 4-in-1 Mount with a swivel arm that works on desktops, under the kitchen cabinet, on the wall, or magnetic surface mounting.

Kayaking with Kids on Santa Catalina Island with Descanso Beach Ocean Sports #AvalonCA

One early morning in September, our family was invited to experience then share about a guided kayaking expedition on Santa Catalina Island in Avalon, California with Descanso Beach Ocean Sports. It was the perfect morning island vacation adventure as the waters were calm and clear. It was a short 15 minute walk from our hotel as we walked past the Catalina Casino to get to Descanso Beach. As they instructed beforehand, we dressed in our wet suits because we will be sitting in water, but they wanted us to be comfortable, so they also offered us water shoes, life jackets, and water pants.
