Our Pizza Party Celebrating the premiere Of “EUREKA” on Disney+ today!

We’re previewing Eureka and making a pizza at the same time (inspired by one of the episodes where she invents pizza!). Thank you Disney Junior for the delicious ingredients from Jon & Vinny’s in Hollywood and the pro pizza making set!

We love the singing, the prehistoric setting and the creative ways Eureka solves problems through Inventions. Don’t forget to tune in to watch the show today, June 22 at 7:30 pm EDT/PDT!

Sharing our recital pics from Exquisite Music’s

Sharing our recital pics from Exquisite Music’s new Walnut Location.

Where do I start to express how much this music studio has done for my kids. I saw a complete turn around in their attitude towards music from apathetic to now eager to learn guitar and practicing willingly on their own. A good teacher makes all the difference and I know for a fact that is exactly what happened here. The three of them are in a family class together every week and their confidence has grown. They have included playing guitar as a cool part of their identity and making it their own interest. I’m seeing them include guitar in different parts of their lives, whether it’s at home for a song they like or for the school talent show. I’m deeply grateful for this music studio and would love to share it with you.

I’ve included a flyer of their current summer camp. You can also inquire about their private family classes. It’s nice that they have two locations now.

Sand Dollar Beach 🌊 Renaming this beach becaus

Sand Dollar Beach 🌊

Renaming this beach because kids found 20+ sand dollars here! They were just lying there on the wet sand perfect and unbroken. I’ve never seen anything like it! There were so many more too that it was such a pleasant surprise. I had to get in on the action and found some some as well. My very first find.

Fun fact: There is a piece inside the sand dollar that you can hear shaking around. I heard that if you break the sand dollar open, the piece looks like a dove. But… I don’t want to break these perfect sand dollars to find this. Maybe I will one day for one, but not yet.

I enjoy seeing my kids playing together at the beach so much. This beach is super special and we had the best family time here. ❤️

💫⌚️We love gadgets that keeps the family connected.🤗 💫

We tried out the new @cosmotogether Watch JrTrack2 (ad). The highlights are the GPS function, clear calls and no distraction design (no internet/games). You can see where your child is at all time and also call or text them. This is perfect for when you’re running late to pick your kid up or to just wanting to send them a sweet message when they are not with you.

Kids can call back and send preset text messages and fun emojis. Younger kids would like this watch and it helps parents to feel connected too. More information at https://cosmotogether.com/

Slot Canyon fun in SoCal!

It amazes me that I can always find new spots in SD county even though I’m there all the time. Special thanks to @lenazilla for introducing this one to us. 🥰

In a one mile hike you can see slot canyons, a beautiful view point and lagoon. Greenery, water feature and cool rock formations in one short hike! This is definitely huddlebee approved for a family adventure.

Important! When you see the split in trail at the sign, go right to the “slot canyon to viewpoint difficult” (It’s more rocky but worth it, such a short trail you can totally do it!) Do you love exploring slot canyons. Don’t miss out on this one.

River rafting with kids in Yosemite 🏞

It’s that time of the year to start getting ready for a Yosemite trip. #tbt to our river rafting fun last year. Did you know that you can float down the Merced River at certain times of the year? In case you missed it, we wrote all about our tips in our blog post 💙link in bio.

Beautiful trail in SoCal🌳💚

This neighborhood trail is so green and lush with small creeks to cross, I had to share more pictures.

Tip⭐️ You can enter at where Vista and Birdie Drive intersect in La Verne to get to this 3 mile portion of this trail. (No trail marker at this particular entrance). Walk down the slope and at the fork follow the Left split in the trail.

⭐️You can walk 2-3 miles and see this beautiful scenery and all the swings I showed in my last post. (See last post)
⭐️This is not a loop trail so you would just walk back the same way, when you want to. We walked all the way to the tunnel, past the stables and then turned around. 🙂

Hidden swings, secret spots🤫

We were introduced to some great spots on our last hike that included swings tied to branches among beautiful trees and even one rope swing across a creek. Can’t wait to take another trip back here. Which one would you go on?

📍Marshall Canyon Trail
(Note: Be careful on rope swings, use at own risk.)

Just about at this time of the day, we would have a churro in our hand and would be walking back to Main Street. Sneak in one more ride? Of course we would do it and end up staying way too late. We love creating all the memories here with our kids. Always a happy time ❤️

🌸Spring getaway🌸🌼🌹

We had a little weekend staycation in Carlsbad and spent some time at the @the_flower_fields. It was so nice to see the beautiful flowers blooming and spend some relaxing time with the family strolling among the stunning background of colors. @the_flower_fields is a local SoCal wonder that you don’t want to miss. (Ends May 8th). Guess what?! We found a 4 leaf clover here! Check out the clover box and try to find one too!

Tip: We liked entering the flower fields from the back south entrance. You park right in front of the American Flag of Flowers and it’s less crowded.
Walking in from here helps you to not miss any attractions since you can just walk straight forward till the end and see everything.

Kids will enjoy the passport to fun where you can get stamps at each station for a reward (last photo).
