Since I grew up in Pasadena, the San Gabriel Valley is always close to my heart. I spend a lot of time in the area and nearby Inland Empire. A lesser-known gem is Pomona Valley where Claremont lies. I’ve been going to Claremont since I […]
There are 48 towns in the USA named Greenville. I was lucky enough to visit South Carolina’s and overwhelmed with how fun this city is. One of Greenville’s highlights? The friendly array of gluten-free options throughout their incredible food scene. Downtown Greenville alone has over […]
My diet has drastically changed over the years. Living in Southern California, I admit that I certainly can take things for granted. Organic this, cold-pressed that. During my short time in Philadelphia, there was no lack of excellent food. I even found a Whole Foods […]
Before this past October, I’d been to LEGOLAND California twice. The funniest part is, it was well before I had my Mabel. I didn’t even go either time with a child. When my birthday was rolling around last month, I knew I wanted a quick […]
When was the last time you immersed yourself in Chinatown? I have memories of walking through San Francisco as a child. With its bright, vibrant red lights, lanterns, and loads of shop windows filled with souvenirs. Just last year I enjoyed a family stroll through […]

Did you know Burbank is home to a winery? I’ve always loved exploring the “Media City” and continually say how much it surprises me. Magnolia Avenue is home to a slew of vintage shops and even a horror museum. While over on San Fernando Boulevard, […]
Confession: as much as there is to explore in LA, I cannot stand the traffic. Don’t get me wrong, I manage plenty of city adventures with Mabel. But, since moving to Ventura County, I love being closer to northern destinations like the Santa Barbara and […]
One of my favorite elements when traveling is making wishes come true. However small or silly they may seem. A good example is when I was in San Francisco a few years ago. Growing up, baby Mary dreamed of getting her picture in front of […]
It was a happy Friday in the Quad Cities. I didn’t sleep as well as I would have liked but did wake up hungry. It was a good thing since I was excited about breakfast today. We began Tuesday in Iowa’s Bettendorf for dinner at […]
Day three in the Quad Cities has just wrapped. Are you still with me? I hope because I have much more to share about this wonderful group of cities in Iowa and Illinois. The morning focused on the art in Davenport, Iowa. Davenport is another […]
