Birthday Parties at My Gym Yorba Linda

My Gym Children’s Fitness Center in Yorba Linda. It’s one of my favorite places for play dates. I used to go to the one in Huntington Beach, and my kids love it! My son with autism was one of the kids that ran around like a kid in a candy store. He wanted to try everything from climbing, tumbling, jumping in ball pits, bouncing on trampolines, sliding down slides, walking on balance beams to rolling around a huge wheel (there are balls too). He received lots of exercise for the day and if you know my son, he has sensory issues and it’s usually a struggle to get him to … READ MORE >>

Porsche Timeline Show in Lake Arrowhead is Our Annual Tradition!

We stumbled upon Porsche Timeline Show in Lake Arrowhead a few years ago. We wanted to get out of the city so we took a day trip to the mountains. I think we were looking for Big Bear and came across this little town called Lake Arrowhead (about 30 minutes from each other). It was foggy that day but we saw that we had just missed an annual Porsche car show. Ever since then, I google it every year to try to make it every year. My boys love it! We’ve gone several times and as the boys get older, it’s a little different every time. If you’ve met my husband, you … READ MORE >>

We Test Drove the Mattel Disney • Pixar Cars Micro Drifters Press Event!

My family and I were thrilled when we won tickets to a Disney Pixar Cars event. My kids love, Love, LOVE Disney•Pixar Cars. We’re also annual passport holders to Disneyland so we’ve been to the new Cars Land (opened since June 2012 at Disney California Adventure) several times. Just imagine everything you remember on Route 66 in Radiator Springs from the movie: the desert scene, canyons, Flo’s V8 Cafe, Cozy Cone Motel, Luigi’s Casa Della Tire shop, and more blown up to a life-sized version. You must see with your own eyes to believe. What’s more is there is a life-sized McQueen and Mater that cruises Route 66 for photo … READ MORE >>
