Have you been to Zoomars Petting Zoo in San Juan Capistrano? If you haven’t it is definitely worth a trip with your kiddos! It is the cutest place! A couple years ago we even did a fun day trip and took the train from Santa Ana to San Juan and walked down to Zoomars. Our kids went crazy for all the animals, rides and little train.

My 4 and 3/4 year old has taken up biting her nails ALL OF THE TIME and it is seriously driving me crazy.
I am a self-confessed germ-phobe so the thought of her having her hands in her mouth all day just GROSSES me out!!
