Disney Parks invited us to attend Disneyland Halloween Time and Oogie Boogie Bash. All opinions are my own. It is officially Disneyland Halloween time! It is my favorite time of year at Disneyland. I do love Christmas time at Disneyland too, but there is something that feels extra special at Halloween. We were lucky…
I have to admit, I’m usually a little slow to picking up the latest denim trends. Generally, I tend to sit back a while and see what’s going to stick before jumping into a new jean fit. I can distinctly remember when skinny jeans first became popular. For the longest time, I did not want…

Your student also might be worried, excited, nervous, or upset. As an educator and a parent of a kid who just entered a split 4th/5th class, and also…
If there’s one color I keep seeing for fall, it’s this rust orange color. It seems to be everywhere. I recently got this cute rusty orange dress, and I actually ordered another rust orange dress that’s coming any day now. If you want to jump on the rusty orange color trend, I’m sharing some of…

What is your anti-aging skin care routine? As we age, our skin changes. I don’t know about you, but I want it to stay as youthful for as long as possible. If you’re curious how I take care of my skin and constantly surprise people when I tell them my age, read on to learn…
We’re nearing the end of summer but it’s actually been the warmest it’s been all year in LA lately. I recently got this lavender mini dress from Fashion Nova. I had never shopped there before but one of my friends suggested it for jeans. Unfortunately, I didn’t love the jeans, but I did find this…
If you’re like me, you may find it daunting to think about how to talk to kids about sex. It’s a topic we’ve pretty much avoided until I realized that it was time to start the conversations. Although I thought I hadn’t started to talk to my kids about sex, I realized I actually had…
I love wearing white dresses in the summer. Every year, I add at least one or two new ones (this one has florals too). I recently found this white lace dress on sale, and I knew I had to have it. It’s a coverup and a mini dress in one. I’ve talked about wearing cover-ups…
One of our favorite (and popular) summer recipes is Mexican Street Corn. We love grilling corn in the summer because the kids love it and it just feels like summer. The great thing about this elote in a cup recipe is that it takes traditional street corn and makes it much more portable and perfect…

My family loves peaches. Honestly, I’m not really a big fan. But because they love them, I try to come up with new and interesting ways to bake with them. Often, I make completely scratch recipes. Sometimes, I prefer to do semi-homemade recipes like this cinnamon roll peach cobbler. These are so easy to make…
This geo print dress I ordered last month. I planned to take it with me on a trip to Cancun that I had to cancel. Although I think this dress is absolutely perfect for a tropical vacation, it’s also a great dress for summer no matter where you live. I wore it on a Saturday…
Its watermelon season. We love watermelon in our family. We generally just eat it in chunks, but every now and then, I look for a new way to use it. Recently, I’ve seen a lot of watermelon-infused water recipes and other fruit-infused waters. Although I’ve seen it done several different ways, I never saw a…
