You guys!!! I’ve been approved to be an influencer for LIKEtoKNOW.it – one of the largest and most legit platforms bloggers can use for their readers to shop their looks. You can now pull up the handpicked links to exactly what I’m wearing or using in the photos I post! Cute and comfy leggings, pullovers and booties, plus all our gear!
Remember that summer post when I announced that we’re the face of the City of Paso Robles’ Fall Rec Guide? Well, the city’s influencer campaign (involving us!) won a state award!!
I’ve written about Paso Robles’ Victorian Teddy Bear Tea so many times, I could recite all its details in my sleep. But I had never taken my children to it until 2017. And what a treat it is seeing it through their eyes.
It probably comes as no surprise that some of our favorite gifts for the kids aren’t “things” at all — they’re the gift of experience. There are, of course, exceptions to this rule. Because there are some seriously adorable kid stores in the North County. And if you’re really set on something to wrap, many of our favorite kiddo experiences also offer gift cards.
In no ranking order, here are our recommendations on local places to shop for gifts for the kids this holiday season (or anytime). I’ve also included their Instagram handles because if you know me at all, you know that’s my favorite way to scope out local businesses these days.
I only have pies for you. As in, for the people in my life. So, no ants. Ya hear?! Ants are never going to be on my guest list. Ever. Obviously it’s no secret I hate ants. Like, seriously dislike them more than snakes. Which, of course, my mom will never understand. So when a gal from the all-natural pest prevention company EarthKind approached me for a review, I was like – yes ma’am, 100 percent I’ll try that.
Today we are reviewing the Bobux Paddington Boot in red. They are $70 for big kids and $60 for littles and so worth the money. I’ve already received so many compliments on them, including Clara’s teacher who said her boots “were so on point” 🙂 I like that they’re made with solid materials like coated leather with a rubber finish that’s water repellent and scuff resistant. The company also took the time to find child-safe and non-toxic materials and dyes.
Overall, this hotel is a must for hotel-scouting families looking for something kid-friendly. It’s perfect for children in the hotel amenities, setup, and location. But, it’s also special because not only are your kids’ needs accounted for (and who are we kidding – they’re the bosses anyway), but the adults also feel like they’re on a pampered beach vacation. The hotel is steps from the ocean, there are complimentary white fluffy towels in the pool area and there’s a free waffle bar with whipped cream in the morning.
We were invited back to explore our favorite resort in town this fall —Cava Robles RV Resort in Paso Robles,…
This book has a cute story, a good rhyming flow, and an endearing main character. It’s all about a young sloth who learns who he truly is.
The North County’s heritage will once again be on full display this fall with tractors, classic cars, and all the grandeur brought by the Colony Days and Pioneer Day parades. So it’s time to grab the kiddos, line our city streets and show some community spirit at our local parades! But not go crazy in the process. And for that, I bring you parade tips. Lots and lots of parade tips.
