Singing Praises for Fancy Nancy the Musical Songs

Oh Fancy Nancy, how I adore thee. Your fancy words, your spunky personality, your fun way of teaching my kiddos new vocabulary….and now your songs on our favorite new Fancy Nancy the Musical CD we were recently sent for review. The CD features the original Off-Broadway cast recording and I was pleasantly surprised to find that even I sang along and enjoyed it.

Crystal Cove Tide Pools

A couple months back we experienced amazing Orange County tide pools down at Crystal Cove. It is a fabulous place to take your kids tidepooling (is that a word?!) in OC.

During our tidepooling adventure we spotted THIRTEEN starfish! My 6-year-old daughter was so fired up she exclaimed, “The is the best day of my life!” No joke.

Gotta love the enthusiasm something as simple as a visit to tide pools can evoke.

A Berry Fun Family Outing

This guest post on a Temecula U-Pick Blueberry Farm is definitely on my list of places to take my kids! Here is what local OC mom, Susan, shares about taking her family blueberry picking in Southern California:

Every week I try to make it to the local farmers market.

I love seeing what’s in season and tasting what’s been grown locally.  I enjoy picking my own fruit and vegetables if that option is available, so when I discovered I could go to a U-Pick blueberry farm for blueberry picking, a family tradition began.
