Flower Fields Carlsbad Ranch Attractions

I received tickets in exchange for this post. All opinions are my own.  One of my favorite things to do in the Spring is visit The Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch. The 50 acres of rolling hillside tecolote ranunculus is just beautiful, it blooms for six to eight weeks out of the year (March to May), and it also overlooks the Pacific Ocean. This seasonal and popular attraction get visitors from all over the world. I think it can be enjoyed several different ways, and with different people, because it is great for all ages. It is family-friendly, handicapped-friendly, and I also saw couples and groups of friends. The last day … READ MORE >>

Glen Ivy Hot Spring Lounge Pool

Glen Ivy Hot Springs Spa’s Better With Friends Special

Is winter finally here in Southern California? I’m not really sure because one minute it’s chilly and the next minute we are back in t-shirts and flip flops. We have had unusual weather all year. If you’re looking for a break to escape from all the stress, consider Glen Ivy Hot Springs for a warm, relaxing retreat that’s not too far away. I was just there with friends, because spa days are always better with friends. With strategic planning, we headed there after drop-offs, changed into our bathing suits, walked around in our bathrobes, had services, met up for lunch and cocktails, lounged around in hot pools and played in … READ MORE >>

Big Bear Lake Snow Summit Lifts

Big Bear Lake Weekend Itinerary with Limited Snow

In sunny Southern California, beaches are a plenty and a short drive away, however, every year we anxiously await for snow in the mountains. Imagine the possibilities – sledding, tubing, skiing, and snowboarding. Forget the rest, the children just want to make snowballs and snow angels. We always have a blast. Sadly because it hasn’t rain all that much, we haven’t gotten much snow. (As I’m writing this, Big Bear received 6-8″ of new snow this week and they’re anticipating more.) Last year I wrote a post about how to prepare to go up there during a blizzard, but this year, the weather is so different, I am sharing how you can … READ MORE >>
