Today, I’d like to share my tips on taking kids to the movies. Hopefully this helps makes the outing a little less taxing, and a little more fun!
Going to the movies with your spouse or your friends = a great night out (and probably a rare occurrence these days…which makes it even more fun!)!
Going to the movies with your kiddos? Potentially a stressful experience, especially if they’re younger. From my personal experience I have put together 10 tips on taking kids to the movies.
One of the things I love about the New Year is it gives my husband and I the chance to talk about things we want to do with the kids in the upcoming year, and one of the things we decided on was taking more family hikes or nature walks together, so I started looking for great orange county hikes for kids and we came found a gem of a hike in Riley Wilderness Park that I want to share with you.
I have yet to take my girls to see The Nutcracker ballet at the holidays, so I was thrilled to pieces when Ballet Etudes contacted us to share their special Nutcracker performances coming up this December. I plan to take my girlies and hope it becomes an annual tradition.
GIVEAWAY alert!! We have 4 tickets to give away to the Ballet Etudes The Nutcracker 7pm performance on 12/13 – enter at end of this post. Good luck!

This season Lakewood Center and Los Cerritos Center are pleased to introduce a thoroughly modern, extraordinarily high tech visit with Santa – the new Santa HQ, presented by HGTV, which offers an adventure I can guarantee your children have never seen before.

Folks, the magic has been kicked up a notch at Santa HQ. Big time.
Please GO. It’s a hands-on experience they will never forget. Mine sure haven’t.
Best of all, guests can plan ahead by booking a reservation online at www.Santa-HQ.com to make the experience easier than ever to enjoy. No more crazy long lines with impatient, cranky toddlers. Nice. Speaking of “nice”…
The introduction to Santa HQ includes a scan on the ‘Naughty O’ Nice Meter where an attendant enters in your child’s name (or yours, if you are brave enough) and the results are shown on the light up screen for all to see….

I don’t know about you, but my 4-year-old son is obsessed with trains. Obsessed. Especially with the beloved Thomas the Train and his best bud, Percy.
So when I learned that this year’s “A Day Out With Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends” annual event in Perris, CA is showcasing a talking Thomas, AND including Percy in the fun, we were elated!
If any of you have little Thomas fans in your family, mark your calendars for next month and plan to make your own”Day Out with Thomas,” and enter to win four FREE tickets in our giveaway below!
