We love bath time around here. It sets the mood for the night and gets Hazel nice and calm, and ready for bed. For us, establishing a bedtime routine was important because Hazel loves knowing what’s coming next. We have found a routine that works great for us and here are some of the items we love to use for it: Toothbrush and Toothpaste Every night before we put Hazel in the tub we brush her teeth using a soft toothbrush and florid free toothpaste. The soft toothbrush helps massage the gums and get the plaque… Read More

SeaWorld San Diego -a must see!
There’s always something fun about amusement parks and aquariums. Having them combined into one great park makes it that much better. SeaWorld San Diego has always been a special place for me. I remember going to SeaWorld with my family when I was younger. I remember the rides we went on –Shipwreck Rapids probably being one of our favorites, because getting soaked was an absolute blast. Shamu Stadium, seeing the beautiful Killer Whales up close, being amazed at how smart these big animals are. As a mom, planning summer vacations has always been something I’ve… Read More

One of my favorite parts about going back to school has to be the back to school clothes shopping though. It… Read More
Arizona, I forgive you
So it’s monsoon season in Arizona. But this doesn’t mean that it literally is monsoon season -as in it’s not really raining a whole lot here. It’s s bummer though. And I think all true Arizonans long for monsoon season, I know I do anyways. The smell of the rain, the feeling of a nice clean air, and the cooler weather. Ahh yes, the cooler weather is always one of my favorite parts -especially now that I have a toddler who loves to be outside. This summer we haven’t really been outside, it’s just too… Read More
