Today is Emma’s last day of Kindergarten. The picture on the left is from her first day. I love how she wrote P for 9 in the date. And there is my Kindergarten Grad on the right.
In the first picture I can sense some anticipation and a little fear in her eyes, today they are filled with joy and excitement. And so are mine, as well as a few tears, but they are tears of happiness.
When I asked her how she was feeling about school coming to an end, she said,
By now you all know that I love Orange County.
I especially love raising a family in OC, and with so many incredible family-friendly hotels, attractions and of course, our beaches, there truly is a vacation waiting for us right here where we live all year round!
Recently the Fairmont Newport Beach contacted me to share a great family package called 4 for $400 they have going on this summer, along with their fun kids’ programs and my family was invited to come and stay to check it out!

Did you know that children and adolescents are particularly vulnerable to the harmful effects of UV radiation?
Excessive sun exposure in children is likely to contribute to skin cancer later in life. Did you know that one bad blistering sunburn in childhood or adolescence can actually double the chance of developing melanoma later in life? Scary.
The mechanisms are not totally clear, but some think that the skin is more susceptible to the harmful effects of UV radiation during childhood. That’s why I am taking NO chances with my children, especially since melanoma runs in my family.
And when choosing a sunscreen for my kids (and myself), opting for one that is chemical-free is really important, which is why I am very happy to share Patrick’s Sunscreen with you.
