Give A Day. Get A Disney Day.

It is important to us to "give back." When I found out that Disneyland was offering a free day from volunteering I knew we had to be on board! A great teaching moment for my girls.


Check out my busy bees! They are so proud of the baby baskets they put together to benefits families of the Orange County Rescue Mission in Tustin!


We were definitely inspired to be one out of a million to volunteer! It is so easy to register and choose from many local agencies. You can volunteer your time and skills or like us, assemble kits for gifting.

It took me nearly a full hour to find the Orange County Rescue Mission! For some odd reason my Navi took me into a gated community in Irvine. The girls were so happy as I was I to find this place. The people were so nice and it feels great to know we are helping and supporting our local families!


These are the two baby baskets that we put together. Over the course of a week we were able to purchase items needed for the bag such as diapers in various sizes, wipes, cloth, bibs, baby rice, baby food, baby toiletry items, onesies, sleepers, pacifiers, diaper bag, swaddling blanket, toy and many more goodies!


Here are the girls delivering their items at the Donation Center! It was nice to explain to them what the great people do there! Emi was thrilled to take part in this and Chloe will she didn't want a picture she wanted to do lunch! Thank you Disney for giving us this opportunity!

Cool Kids Stuff at Kids II

I am a sucker for great kids toys! I especially love ones that are both fun for children and give parents an opportunity to engage with their child to teach them a few things about the beautiful world we live in. I wanted to share with you three products that I totally love and think you will find them a perfect toy for your little boy or girl!

Baby Einstein's Connect & Play Zone

• I love it because it is angled allowing baby to get in and play comfortably.
• It has five separate play activities that can be connected for one large toy or detached to enjoy at a time. Your child will never be bored and so will you!
• It comes attached with a sturdy handle allowing you to transport and store with ease.

Baby Einstein's Photo & Discovery Book

• You can personalize your baby's book by placing your own pics in it (clear vinyl windows).
• It has 8 pages and the pages are soft allowing baby to gum and chew on it all he wants!
• It has a cool handle for baby that has beads on it to enhance his fine motor skills.

Baby Einstein's Stack & Discover Blocks

• I love that these blocks contain real life pictures!
• These blocks are useful for allowing baby to play on his own or you can join in and stack away.
• The combination of 3-D parts, crinkly fabric, real life imagery, and numbers makes this toy a winner!

I really like Kids II website! You can find these products and other fine learning toys there for baby. Their site is easy to navigate and search for items. It has a ton of pictures that you can view before ordering and its detailed descriptions helps you decide which toy or products is suitable for you and your family!

This is my sweet mommy and me! I still call her "mommy" sometimes! I miss her like crazy and I hate so much that she is far away. Well, not like a "country" far away but it might as well be. Having her and my dad live in Salt Lake City is just too far! Here is one of my favorite photos taken this last Christmas. It was us at SeaLife Aquarium in Carlsbad. My mother is my best friend. A best friend I really did not understand I had until I became a "mommy." I love you MOM!
