Read MoreGet a Sugar Rush at Candytopia in Santa Monica
We visited as a guest of the venue Let’s face it…we’re all a little obsessed with social media and getting the perfect photo. When it comes to Instagram, Snapchat, or Facebook photos everyone wants them to be perfect. And what better place to take excellent pictures than a place solely meant for just that! Located in Santa Monica, Candytopia is one of the best picture museums I have ever visited. One thing that made this museum so much fun is that its the whole theme was candy. It was literally my two favorite things in the world, taking pictures, and candy. When my mom told me we were going to be doing this during our weekend trip to Santa Monica I immediately picked out my favorite outfits and got ready for the exciting photo opportunities there would be during our time in the museum. When we first got to the museum, you can’t miss it. There are huge walls that say “Candytopia” on the front. When we got to the entrance, they had employees directing you to stand in a line and wait for them to check your tickets. Then, they showed you into what they called the “Waiting Room.” The Waiting Room was full of photo opportunities and did I forget to mention, CANDY. There was also merchandise you could buy that included pop sockets, T-shirts, socks, and more. Then we moved on to the next couple of rooms. The next rooms were each full of different surprises. All of them gave you different candy and had workers there to help you style and take your pictures. Everyone was so helpful especially in the illusions room where it looks like you are falling down rainbow tubes, even though you are not. There was also a room that made it look like a shark while was eating you on a surfboard, and that room was VERY entertaining to pose in. The last room in the museum was the Marshmellow Room. This is probably the room that you see the most in pictures because it is a huge ball pit full of foam marshmallows! Now we had to wait out turn in line, but once we got to the front, we took off our shoes and hopped in. It was like reliving moments of when I was a 4-year-old and playing at the ball pit in the Jungle Jim. My mom and I made one mistake…we both wore skirts. So,...

Read MoreBoutique Elegance at La Casa De Los Dos Leones in Querétaro
We visited as a guest of the venue When planning our upcoming Mother and Daughter getaway to explore the history and culture of Querétaro, I knew that I wanted to stay in boutique style hotels to fully experience the culture and history of the beautiful city. We used Pied à Terre to find La Casa De Los Dos Leones in Querétaro because they are the premier community to help travelers with finding the best boutique hotels that focus on culture, art, and gastronomy. Moments after arriving in Querétaro, our driver took us to La Casa De Los Dos Leones which was located in the heart of the city, and where a beautiful Kia Sorento was in the parking lot awaiting our arrival. As we walked into the lobby, we were greeted by the staff who offered us a refreshing glass of agua fresca and got us checked into our room for the night. La Casa De Los Dos Leones is one of the most beautiful boutique hotels that I have ever visited. In the center of the hotel is an atrium with tables for guests to enjoy a glass of wine or breakfast in the morning. The staff took us to our room that featured exquisitely appointed accommodations at the most exclusive address in Querétaro. The first thing that caught my attention at La Casa De Los Dos Leones was the superb style that graces everything, especially the art deco-inspired guest rooms. All of the artwork meticulously placed throughout the property is done with impeccable taste. We found ourselves getting lost in the beauty of so many of the paintings located throughout the property. While relaxing in our room, we felt like we were at home with the modern tech amenities, plush bedding, and timeless elegance of the room decor. The room offered the finest of everything that the most discerning traveler could expect, the true beacon of luxury. The suite boasted spacious living areas and a bathroom with marble surfaces and granite flooring. The hotel is located in the heart of the city, offering guests the ability to walk to pristine restaurants and cultural spots. After getting settled into our room, we walked to have dinner at El Mesón de Chucho el Roto where we enjoyed some cultural dishes that can only be found in Querétaro. After dinner, we enjoyed some street artists entertainment, dessert, and fell in love with the beauty of the historic buildings located throughout...

Read MoreWalking in Walt’s Footsteps: A Photo Tour of Walt Disney’s Office
We visited as a guest of Disney While visiting the Walt Disney Studios lot earlier this month, I embarked on an unforgettable scavenger hunt around the studios, and then had the honor of touring Walt Disney’s office. It has been a long time dream of mine to go into his office, and I was immersed in the magic of Disney while walking in Walt’s footsteps. Everything in Walt Disney’s office has been placed and preserved precisely how it was when he was alive, and I felt like Walt was right there with us while walking around his office. Since his office isn’t open to the public, I took as many photos as possible to give all of you an inside look into what his office looked like when he was alive. Enjoy this magical photo tour, and experience the magic of Walt Disney’s work by downloading Peter Pan on Movies Anywhere or purchase the Multi-Screen Edition: Blu-ray™ + Digital in stores...

Read MoreExclusive Look Behind-the-Scenes of General Hospital
We attended as a guest of Disney While I was pregnant with my youngest son, I was put on bed rest very early on in the pregnancy. Being stuck in bed for 16 weeks, I watched a lot of television, and one of my favorite shows to watch every day was General Hospital. Every afternoon, I would look forward to seeing what was happening in Port Charles. I continued to watch it daily while caring for my baby, but as he got active, I found myself having to record and then watch a week full of episodes during the weekend. Being such a fan of the show, I was thrilled when I was given the opportunity to visit the set of General Hospital. The morning that I was going to be visiting, I was overwhelmed with excitement. I couldn’t wait to visit, and when we arrived on the set, I loved that it looked just a real hospital in the front of the building. We took some photos at the front of the building and then got a chance to go inside. Inside the building, there were a couple of sets up including the courtroom, the Quartermaine living room, the restaurant, and of course – the hospital. We all got to take pictures, look around and even got to see some spoilers. I loved every minute of the tour and could have spent all day exploring the set of General Hospital. After we were done touring the set, we got an opportunity to have a sneak peek of the upcoming episode that features the Nurses Ball. While I was hoping to meet my favorite stars of the show, Sonny Corinthos, Jason Morgan, and Carly Corinthos, I did get an opportunity to meet Alexis Davis and Joshua Swickard, who plays “Detective Harrison Chase.” Joshua Swickard delivers an unforgettable performance during the nurse’s ball, and we had the honor of talking with him about the filming along with the Executive Producer Frank Valentini. It was amazing to find out how much work goes into filming each episode, especially the nurse’s ball episode. If you’re not yet a loyal fan and unaware of the nurse’s ball…The nurse’s ball was founded in 1994 by Port Charles resident Lucy Coe, and the fictional charity event is dedicated to HIV/AIDS awareness and research, and the event promises to be this year’s event not to miss. General Hospital recently celebrated its 55th anniversary and is the...

Read MoreWorld Premiere of Solo: A Star Wars Story
I attended as a guest of Disney I have had the honor of attending many world premiere’s and Solo: A Star Wars Story is by far the best premiere I have ever attended. When I arrived at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, the entire street was closed off for the premiere. In the center of the red carpet was a giant replica of the Millennium Falcon, and fans crowded the street with excitement over the possibility of seeing one of their favorite Star Wars actors. I attended the premiere with a group of parenting bloggers, and I walked the carpet with my friend Heidi. Together, we took our time walking down the carpet, taking pictures and enjoying the energy from the crowd. We enjoyed every minute of our time spent on the red carpet. After taking hundreds of pictures on the red carpet, we entered the theatre where we would be the first people ever to see Solo: A Star Wars Story. Moments before the film began, the entire cast, including George Lucas entered the theatre, and the entire audience cheered. Then it was time. The moment we had all been waiting for…the moment that we would see Solo: A Star Wars Story. The film was action-packed and took us on an epic journey in a galaxy far, far away. I was immersed in the story throughout the entire film, and cannot wait to see it again with my three children. It truly deserved a standing ovation. When the film had ended, it was time to celebrate. Everyone attending the premiere walked over to the after party. At the after-party, there was music playing, delicious food, and fun photo opportunities. Everyone mingled and shared their favorite moments of the film with one another. It was the perfect ending to the perfect evening. Don’t miss bringing your children to see Solo: A Star Wars Story in theaters on May 25th. It is guaranteed to be one of your favorite Star Wars films ever...

Read MoreMother’s Day Brunch by the Sea at Hotel Shangri-La
We visited as a guest of the venue This past weekend I was treated to an early Mother’s Day brunch by the sea at the beautiful Hotel Shangri-La in Santa Monica. The boutique hotel is the perfect place to treat mom to brunch on Mother’s Day because of the hotel’s beautiful ocean views, timeless decor and excellent cuisine. While I had the pleasure of enjoying brunch in their elegant restaurant, brunch on Mother’s Day will be served al fresco under the beautiful Santa Monica sun on the outdoor hotel patio. Brunch began with a champagne toast before embarking on an epicurean adventure. Our first course was a refreshing gazpacho shooter that perfectly cleansed our palate before savoring the next five courses. The highlight of our brunch was the avocado toast. The dish featured perfectly crisp toast topped with thinly sliced avocado and garnished with edible flowers. The dish tasted just as good as it looked, and I highly recommend enjoying this dish when dining on Mother’s Day. We never quite experienced anything as good as the assortment of pancakes that we were served for the next course. We tasted chocolate, blueberry, banana, and our favorite – the strawberry pancake paired with freshly made strawberry butter. The next course was my daughter’s favorite and had her craving more the next day. The dish is a stuffed herb chicken with mushrooms and spinach served with purple mashed potatoes. The chicken boasted with flavor and was paired with a rich sauce that blended all the flavors perfectly. Fish lovers will embrace every bite of the pan seared halibut with saffron rice and roasted heirloom tomatoes. The dish is light, fresh, and a true display of the chef’s talent. Finally, we ended brunch with mini coconut cheesecake. It was the perfect ending to a perfect afternoon at Hotel Shangri-La. We enjoyed just a small taste of the food that will be available at the Mother’s Day buffet at Hotel Shangri-La on Sunday, May 13th from 11 am to 2 pm. There will also be live music and a complimentary glass of champagne and rose for moms. The brunch is $65 per adult and $30 for children under the age of 12. Reservations are required by calling 310.394.2791. Hotel Shangri-La is located at 1301 Ocean Avenue, Santa Monica, CA...

Read MoreHike to Heart Rock
Vehicle provided by Kia When planning a mother and daughter trip to Joshua Tree, one of my friends mentioned to me that we needed to hike to heart rock. Unfortunately, there is barely anything written online about how to find the mysterious heart rock, so we set off on an adventure to find heart rock. There were only a few things that we knew about heart rock before going on a hike, and that was that it is located in the White Tank Campground along the Arch Rock Nature Trail. Before checking into our campsite, we drove in our Kia Sorento to Arch Rock Nature Trail in an attempt to find heart rock. The trail is only .5 miles, but we seemed to hike for at least a couple of miles. We hiked all over the area until the sun began to set, and did not have any luck finding heart rock. Later that evening, we spent some time looking at videos people had posted on YouTube to help us with locating heart rock when we returned to the trail the next morning. We arrived early the next morning and was able to find heart rock within the first couple of minutes. How do you find it? You’ll want to park your car in the campsite parking lot. Most of the parking spots are for people camping. However, there are a couple of spots available for hikers. Once you start on the trail, you’ll see the famous arch rock to the right. Standing at the arch rock, you can see the back side of heart rock about 100 yards away. I recommend standing by arch rock (facing the mountains) and then scan the area, and you’ll spot it in the distance. Sorry that I can’t be more specific, but this is the easiest way to find it. Once you find heart rock, enjoy taking pictures, boomerangs galore. Enjoy your time hiking along this beautiful Joshua Tree trail and enjoy creating memories with your children that will last a lifetime. It truly is a magical...

Read MoreEpic Day with the Cast of Avengers: Infinity War
We attended the event as a guest of Disney The upcoming film, Avengers: Infinity War, has created so much buzz and anticipation. My oldest son, who is one of the biggest Marvel fans that I know has been following the news that has been being leaked out about this movie for over a year. He has watched every trailer, read every news story, and spent countless hours reviewing his old comic books to try and figure out what he would see when watching the movie. After seeing the film last night, nothing could have prepared him for what he was going to see, and he described the movie as “jaw-dropping.” Days before taking my son to see the movie at the El Capitan Theatre, I was treated to an unforgettable day with the cast of the film. It was unlike any other film press junket that I had attended before and was an interactive fun event that got everyone in attendance excited about seeing the film later in the week. Normally, we take turns asking the cast questions about the film, but for Avengers: Infinity War it was the Grandmaster (yes..’the’ Grandmaster) who attended the event to facilitate the Q&A. He did it by drawing balls from a hopper that contained balls that dictate which celebrity would be next to get asked a question from the audience of reporters. Everyone in the crowd cheered as Jeff Goldblum entered the room and introduced the cast. It was an epic moment to see 24 of the most talented actors in Hollywood, along with the Grandmaster in one room, talking about one big film. The Grandmaster spun the hopper and pulled out the first ball to see who would get asked the first question. Of course, the first question that was asked was about the film. Unfortunately, the cast had not even seen the movie and could not leak out any information that they did know about the film. My son had told me before going to meet the cast that he had read that everyone on the cast was given a different script and that nobody really knew exactly how the story would completely unfold until seeing it at the world premiere. While talking with the cast, I learned that this was true, and they were all just as anxious to see the film as the rest of the world. So, what do you do when you can’t talk with a...
