My husband is a little challenged in the gift giving arena. I wrote about him here. Which is funny to me because women seem so simple to buy for! Am I right ladies?
To me, there are a handful of things that most women would love on any special occasion. And one of these things is some sort of gift card to be used for a little guilt-free pampering. To me, that gesture says, “you deserve it mama!“
A couple weeks ago I was invited to the Viceroy Palm Springs to experience their fabulous “Mom’s Stay and Play Getaway Package” and it was a trip I will never forget! I hope this post inspires you to get on email today and start passing around dates with your “besties” to make a plan for a getaway. Time away with girlfriends just feeds your soul. And the Viceroy Palm Springs is just the perfect distance from OC to make you feel like you are in another world, yet you are still less than two hours from home. This property is a little sparkling gem in the desert….
This is Part II of my post on Rancho Las Palmas and their blissful two acre water feature fun area called Splashtopia! If you missed Part I, click HERE to read about the lovely rooms and our experience staying at this ultra family-friendly resort! Splashtopia was so amazing I had to dedicate an entire post to our pool time FUN!
This past year was a crazy busy one for our family, so we thought it would be fun to do a special little getaway with our oldest daughter after school was out in June. Since we wanted to just go for 2 nights, we wanted a destination that met the following parameters: 1. short drive from OC 2. family friendly & kid friendly 3. SUN for swimming & pool time. My husband did some research and came up with Rancho Las Palmas in Rancho Mirage. He sent me the link, and after one click on Splashtopia, their two acre water feature pool {a.k.a. KID HEAVEN} I said PERFECT, let’s book it!! So, here is our review of Rancho Las Palmas and our amazing experience having fun in the desert sun!
I had every intention of getting home from our delightful 3-day trip to Rancho Las Palmas yesterday and doing a new post for today but I was in such a vacation haze it just didn’t happen. I ended up uploading my photos last night to try to hang on to the memories! So, I decided to share a few of my faves. I loved this one above the most. The reflection of the trees looked so cool to me.
And, this one of Emma walking…
