Read MoreSafe Family Fun at Welk Resorts San Diego
Many families are nervous about traveling during this time, but it can be done safely when choosing the right resort and adhering to the proper safety protocols. During the stay-at-home orders, I have still been traveling safely, and one of my favorite destinations has been the Welk Resorts San Diego. The family-owned resort puts families first. My favorite feature was that my family was able to drive right up to the front door of our luxurious, and spacious, villa. There was no elevator or busy lobby was making me feel comfortable from the moment that I arrived. In fact, there was drive thru check-in, making the check-in process seamless. My second favorite feature is that families need to make reservations for the pools to ensure there is no overcrowding. Rooms The room that we stayed in was a two-bedroom villa. There was plenty of room for my large family to feel comfortable. There is also a kitchen that is fully stocked with dishes, plates, and everything your family will need to prepare meals (food not included). Our room had a private balcony where I was able to sip on coffee while watching the golfers play in the mornings. Along with the large kitchen, the resort features outdoor barbecues where we were able to barbecue some of our meals. The room felt like a home away from home and was just the break our family needed from being locked up inside our home for months. Pools When it comes to pools – Welk San Diego is the best. There are five pools on the property with one that features a 120-foot water slide. There is an adult-only pool for when the parents need some serenity time, and pools that feature cabanas, games, and activities. I found myself spending most of my time relaxing and rejuvenating at the adult pool while sipping on a refreshing glass of iced tea. Activities There are plenty of safe and fun activities for families to experience at Welk San Diego. While at the resort, our family enjoyed a fun game of basketball, doing axe throwing, archery, and art projects. When the kids were not in the pool swimming, they were doing one of the fun activities which led to early bedtimes so we got some relaxing adult alone time. Dining When it comes to dining, the resort follows the current safety protocols. During our stay, it was at a time of take-out only options. We...

Read MoreCute Car for Teen Drivers: Chevy Bolt EV
Are you looking for an affordable (and cute) car for your teen driver? We recently drove the 2020 Bolt EV and found it to be a top pick for your teenager’s first car. The best part – your teenager won’t be coming to you for gas money, because it is a fully electric vehicle! Let’s start by talking about the best part of the car – being electric. I have never driven a fully electric vehicle before. Plus, being known for frequently running out of gas, I was nervous I would run into similar problems with a low battery. That was something I did not have to worry about at all. When I returned home every evening, I would plug the car in, and it was fully charged and “ready-to-go” the following morning. When I took the car to Los Angeles for the day, I did not have to worry knowing that there are more than 40,000 charging stations that are all Bolt EV-compatible across North America. Parents can link their EVgo account to activate and pay for charging sessions right from the myChevrolet app, and teens can easily find eligible charging stations within the myChevrolet mobile app. Being an electric vehicle, you’ll be able to save $4,750 in fuel costs over five years! It provides 127mpg around the city, 108mpg on highways, and averages 29kW-hrs per 100 miles. There is a driving range of 259 miles and a charge time of 9.9 hours (240v). While every parent loves to hear about saving money by having their teens drive an electric vehicle, safety is always the #1 thing when purchasing a car for their teenagers. The Bolt EV comes with a tire pressure monitor system, lane change alert (with side blind zone alert), rear cross-traffic alert, rear parking assist, pedestrian safety signal, HD surround vision, and rear camera mirror. When it comes to government safety rating, the car performs great. It has 5 stars for overall vehicle safety, 5 stars for driver frontal crash, 4 stars for passenger frontal crash, 5 stars for side front seat, 4 stars for the side rear seat, and 5 stars for rollover. Learn more about governmental safety ratings with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) online at safecar.gov. For teenagers, it is all about technology. The Bolt EV features a driver information center, Bluetooth audio streaming, voice command pass-through to phone, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay capable. Plus, it comes with 2...

Solita Solita celebrates great Mexican food, dynamic margaritas, and Southern California’s laid-back lifestyle, encompassing true summer vibes. Offering the full menu and a plethora of outdoor seating, Solita welcomes guests to enjoy a well-deserved meal out during weekday Happy Hour, the famous Taco & Tequila Tuesday, and sparkling mimosas and Mexican Specialties at Weekend Brunch on Saturday and Sunday. Urban Plates Summer is in full swing at Urban Plates. Each location offers spacious and comfortable outdoor patio dining for guests to enjoy the warm summer days and nights. Back for a limited time, the summer menu features Heritage Pork BBQ Ribs made using the highest quality, pasture raised Berkshire pork, known as the wagyu of pork. Certified humane and antibiotic-free, the BBQ ribs are slow-cooked overnight and topped with house-made habanero mango BBQ sauce and grilled pineapple salsa. Ribs are served with Harissa Corn on the Cobb and Old Bay Roasted Potatoes and the meal is available in an individual plate format, or in a family meal that serves four. Top it off with a Watermelon Replenisher—a refreshing, housemade drink made of blended fresh watermelon, pineapple, mint, and basil.

World Premiere of Disney Pixar Onward
We attended as a guest of Disney and Pixar. One of my favorite things to do with my children is to attend a world premiere of a Disney and Pixar Animation film. I was beyond thrilled upon receipt of the invitation to attend the world premiere of Disney and Pixar’s newest feature animated film, Onward. It felt like a dream come true, receiving the invitation, and I could not wait to tell my boys that they would be attending with me. The first thing that my boys did was to watch the trailer for the film. From that moment on, they could not wait to attend. The day of the premiere, my younger son got all dressed up before school so that he would be all ready for the premiere. You can imagine his sadness when he called me an hour into school to tell me that he fell into a puddle of mud, and needed me to bring him a change of clothes. Thankfully, he had a large variety of clothes in his closet, and I was able to bring him something cute to change into at school that he could also wear to the premiere. I was counting down the clock until it was time for us to leave for Los Angeles,...
