Does your family like trying new things? We’re r

Does your family like trying new things? We’re reading a new book from @simonkids about an amazing mom named Frieda Caplan that changed the produce industry by trying new foods. Here’s a sneak peek at a few pages.

Starting in 1956 in a world that was mainly potatoes, apples/bananas and tomatoes she introduced new foods to the produce market and changed people’s minds. If you enjoy seeing kiwifruit, mushrooms, seedless watermelon, purple potatoes, baby corn and more at the market it’s all because of her.

Love that she was the first woman in US to own and operate a wholesale produce business! I’m inspired by her persistence to share her ideas even when there is opposition. She taught that tasting unfamiliar foods could be a fun adventure. Link in bio 📚

What’s something you’ve tasted and like that’s not well known?

We took an unexpected detour and climbed to this r

We took an unexpected detour and climbed to this rock that the kids saw in the distance and wanted to check out. I was hesitant at first because it wasn’t the plan for this location and we had other popular spots to hit up on our one day trip to @joshuatreenps , but It turned out to be a fun adventure!

The girls took the lead and figured out a way to climb through narrow paths and cracks and when we got there they proudly named this rock “Key Hole Rock” 🗝and wanted pictures with it. It was just a short climb but they loved it, felt like they discovered it, and talked about it more than the skull rock that we came to see at this location.

It’s really those off path stops that really makes this national park so much fun. To think I almost missed it if I kept to my “schedule”. Can anyone relate or have your own stories?

⭐️Check out our One Day at Joshua Tree National Park with Kids blog post. It includes our favorite spots with some tips ✨ in bio😊

Family time is the best time🌼 Since I’m usua

Family time is the best time🌼

Since I’m usually the photographer it’s always rare to get a group shot with my kiddos. They’re growing up and can actually stand still next to me for a picture. I remember the days of slinging one in front, with a kid holding each hand and one running around my feet. I miss that stage and one day I’ll miss this stage. These are the last days while I’m still taller than all of them. ... oh don’t grow up. It’s overrated.

We made it out for the first time to see the mustard flower hills in Chino Hills! (Swipe)

It is such a lovely sight, but note, there is no shade. In my opinion the most enjoyable time of the day to visit is around 5pm. You can either park on the street and walk over to see it or drive into the state park for the trails. It’s everywhere, you can’t miss it. Also, we found a lot of 🐞🐞🐞👏👍.

Enter this address below and you’re on your way. It’s free for street parking so definitely make it out before the bloom is over. I would love to see your lovely pictures here, feel free to tag us📸.

On a whim we recently passed by one of our favorit

On a whim we recently passed by one of our favorite beach and caught a gorgeous sunset. This is a great beach for a quick visit with the family. It has easy pier and beach access and is always so beautiful. Seeing the huge ocean always put things in perspective for me. I also like pointing out to the kids here how big God is. :) Sunsets are so beautiful here in SoCal, yet I hardly make the effort to see it.

When was the last time you saw a sunset at the beach?

Seven Seas Food Festival. Enjoying a late afternoo

Seven Seas Food Festival. Enjoying a late afternoon stroll, progressively eating and seeing animals at SeaWorld San Diego! Watch for the fireworks at the end!

Have you heard about the Seven Seas Food Festival @Seaworldsandiego? This was our first time visiting this festival and we enjoyed it so much! It was so relaxing and fun to walk around a large, open-air theme park like this, trying new foods and see the animals that I've missed so much. (New health and safety procedures has been added)

There are stations set up by countries throughout the park each with their special food selections from that country. You would visit the different stations and pick your items with your 10 or 15 punch lanyard. There are more than 125 distinct offerings to try!

Some of our favorites were the Jamaican Spiced Ribs, Spicy Poke Bowl, Lamb Slider, Hummus & Parmesan Garlic Fries, Key Lime Pie, Sparkling Lavender Wine, and Grilled Lamb Chop.

There is also a new show! We also saw the adorable Sesame Street themed NEW R is for Rescue Show, danced and met really cool animals there.

This festival is here every Fri-Sun untill May 2nd.

Jumping into Summer with Shakespeare camp!🎭 (sw

Jumping into Summer with Shakespeare camp!🎭 (swipe)

I can't believe it's already time to look into summer camps! You may not know this, but I'm a huge fan of theatre. My whole family loves it. We were recently introduced to a great summer camp with @anoisewithin called Summer With Shakespeare (for kids ages 6-18). A Shakespeare theatre camp for kids and teens! That is just so cool!

Here are some pictures from their previous camps. As part of the program, there will be stage combat, acting, improv, voice, and set and costume design. I like how the kids will be learning in small groups according to their age.

The camp this year would be from June 14- July 16th and it would be a hybrid (online/in-person) program! You can email them for questions at education@anoisewithin.org and for more info look under the camp tab on their website ⭐️ anoisewithin.org. (Link in bio @anoisewithin )
