29 Fun Things to do with Kids in OC
Happy February 29th! I couldn’t let the day pass without some sort of mention! I mean, days like this only come around, like what, every 4 years?! Hee hee…I was going to do a post on where leap day came from, but it actually isn’t that interesting, so I thought, hmmm…how about a post on 29 fun things to do with kids in OC? Got to get my 29 in there somehow!
So I got out a notebook and scribbled out 29 ideas off the top of my head in less than 5 minutes. Goes to show you there truly is no better place to live with kids than Orange County!
There are many more – would love your opinions – comment below!
Here are mine (in no particular order):

How to Choose the Right Car Seat for Your Child
Recently I found myself in a car seat conundrum.
My 5 3/4 year old daughter started looking big for her convertible car seat and many of her friends now ride in a booster.
I was confused on if it was safe to transition her to a booster, so I contacted Erin Malone from www.SafetyinMotion.org, a car seat expert to see if she could give me the scoop!
She wrote an article on How to Choose the Right Car Seat for Your Child at every stage (newborn through age 10 ish), so you can skip below to the age category that applies to you!
