Great Park Neighborhoods is a Tiny Oranges Sponsor
In Irvine, around the perimeter of the Orange County Great Park, you can find a unique collection of homes in a new master planned community called Great Park Neighborhoods where new homes are selling now.
This multi-generational neighborhood is joined together by a walking and biking trail with a mix of shops, schools, and parks nearby.
Pavilion Park, the very first of the Great Park Neighborhoods, features a selection of new homes each inspired by classic, American Heritage architecture. The neighborhood is located at the northern edge of the Orange County Great Park.
This neighborhood’s main attraction is a large, central 4.5 acre park shaded by beautiful, mature heritage trees where residents can enjoy a swimming pool and spa, playground, and sport courts.
Lunar New Year Celebration
If you are curious about this new community and would like to check it out for yourself, Great Park Neighborhoods’ Lunar New Year Celebration coming up on February 21st, is the perfect opportunity to visit and enjoy free family-friendly activities and entertainment at the same time. To that I will say, Happy New Year!

I got a little craft recently with this DIY meal planning board which has has revolutionized weeknight dinners and reduced the “what’s for dinner?” stress in our house.
It was silly simple to make, and I even include a free printable meal planning template. Read the how to below.
The inspiration for this DIY meal planning board came from a recent BBQ we went to at a friend’s house. She had this ADORABLE framed meal planning board on her kitchen counter and told me it had been a lifesaver for her family. Not to mention the money they were saving from not going out to eat last minute.
I asked her where she got it, and she told me it was an easy DIY project. Basically all you need is a cute picture frame, a piece of scrapbook paper and a dry erase marker.
Hmmm. I am not super crafty, but it seemed even I could do that! So can you … read on!!!!

Toothbrush Trick
Hi my name is Jen and I am a too hard toothbrusher. I know because my toothbrush looks like the one on the left below. Might go along with my Type A personality, but I recently got a wake up call when visiting the pediatric dentist with my little one about the effects of too hard brushing and how often you should replace your toothbrush.
I really never truly knew that answer so I asked him, “How often should you replace your toothbrush?” because come to think of it, I don’t really keep track of how long I use the same one. I just replace when the bristles are all smashed down. Not good. Don’t recommend.
The answer was interesting as was this super cook trick he shared with me to help me know when it was time to replace a toothbrush, both of which I am going to share with you today.
