Multiply Your Style at Old Navy!

I was over the moon when I was invited to be a part of a campaign to share the details about the Old Navy Back to School Sale going on now through August 14th, 2013 because we LOVE Old Navy and an Old Navy shopping trip before school starts is an annual tradition in our household.

This past weekend I took Emma, my soon to be second-grader to our favorite Old Navy to shop for back to school clothes.

iComfort Accessories

best sheets for icomfort

I have been blogging about Serta’s dreamy mattresses for a few years now as a result of my participation in their blogger program and wanted to write a post on the best sheets for iComfort and the other accessories Serta makes for an even dreamier night’s sleep.

Over the past two years we have received complimentary mattresses and accessories for review (lucky us) and I adore our Serta mattresses.

My husband and I sleep on the iComfort Prodigy and my daughters both sleep on the iSeries Merit.

You can read my full iComfort review and as well as how we selected the right mattress for our kids in previous posts for more detailed information.

Due to popular demand, Serta has created products to complement the iComfort and make the best night’s sleep even that much better.

Wrap With Love

Personal Gift Wrapping Idea for Kids

When I went into our gift wrap cabinet for paper to wrap my nephew’s birthday gifts this week, I realized I was out of any wrapping that could be considered even remotely “boyish.” Out of necessity, we discovered this personal gift wrapping idea for kids which turned out to be such a fun project, I wanted to share with you.

With the party a couple hours out, and no time (or energy) to run to the store I wracked my brain with something we could wrap it with…

Family-Friendly Travel: Bacara Resort & Spa

Bacara Review

Last week my family was invited to visit the Bacara Resort & Spa just north of beautiful Santa Barbara to share a firsthand Bacara review on its family-friendly offerings.

It’s a tough job. [Please don’t hate me.]

Santa Barbara is one of my favorite places on Earth, and I had always wanted to stay at this luxury resort in Santa Barbara, but to be honest, I would have never thought of taking my kids there.

To me, it seemed like a high-end property geared more towards adults and couples. Which it is, don’t get me wrong, but what I learned from our stay is that Bacara is also a fabulous family resort in Southern California!

Situated on 78 acres on the beautiful Pacific coast, it is an easy drive for a getaway, but far enough away to make you  feel like you are in a different world.

After a busy summer running around like crazy, we valeted the car upon arrival and didn’t leave. We didn’t have to, or want to. To spend two days relaxing was a much-needed family retreat.

Here is a view of the property from a nature walk we took. From where I am standing to take this photo, I am still on Bacara property.
