Yesterday I had the opportunity to go to the grand opening of Zoes Kitchen, a new restaurant in Lincoln Heights. I sampled some of their most popular menu items along with some of my fellow bloggers. I am very excited that they are finally open; we needed a restaurant like this in the area. Their…
My son is obsessed with Legos and has an extensive collection so naturally visiting Legoland is a top priority at my house. We have been there four times and each year it gets more and more exciting for us. I am not a theme park lover especially large ones like Disneyland; they seem so noisy…
I love summertime, it means spending more time with my family and moving at a slower pace. Let’s face it we could all benefit from moving a bit slower. Most of us are so busy multitasking and trying to get a million things done that by the end of the day we are left feeling…

I was really excited about trying these bars because they are 100% organic, mostly raw and made in Austin Texas. I love to buy local as much as I can so I was really hoping…
