Monday Must Have: Safety 1st Aerolite LX Deluxe Stroller Review and Giveaway (CLOSED)
August 16, 2010 in All Posts, babies & toddlers, favorite products, review
For today’s Monday Must Have, I am happy to share with you the Safety 1st Aerolite LX Deluxe stroller. I have been testing out this stroller for about a month and it’s been fantastic. What makes this product great? This stroller easily collapses and can be opened using one hand. It is VERY easy to get in and out of the car. When the stroller is folded, it goes pretty flat considering its overall size. I love the dark color because it hides inevitable stains and the sunshade allows for greater coverage for baby on sunny days. Extra sunshade...
On Wednesday I attended the World of Cars Online media event party. The celebration was held at the famous L.A. landmark Bob’s Big Boy in Burbank, California. The car hop area of this famous eatery was transformed into Flo’s V8 Cafe and inside guests were treated to Bob’s famous Big Boy burgers (slider versions), along with milk shakes, fries, and other classic diner fare. After walking the red carpet with the likes of Tori Spelling, Melissa Joan Hart, Garcelle Beauvais, and a bunch of teen actors I have never seen before, my three boys (plus one of my son’s...

August 11, 2010 in All Posts, guest post, walt disney world
Welcome to Babes in Disneyland’s first Walt Disney World Wednesday. You know that this is the place to come to for all things Disneyland. In light of the fact that one of my favorite guest writers for B.I.D. (Melissa) is planning a Walt Disney World vacation for her family, I thought it might be nice to offer all of you a little bit of insight on how to plan for a trip to Florida. In spite of working for Disney for five years, I know very little about Walt Disney World. I hope you find the posts in this...

Terrific Tip Tuesday: Dole Whips OUTSIDE of Disneyland
July 13, 2010 in All Posts, dining, dole whip, other so cal tourist attractions
What? Dole Whips outside of a Disney Park?! Well…sort of. If you have a hankering for a Dole Whip and you live in California, Hawaii, Texas, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, or Florida, run (don’t walk) to your nearest Yogurtland and pour yourself the Pineapple Tart nonfat frozen yogurt. You will swear you are at the Tiki Room listening to Jose, Fritz, Michael, and Pierre serenade you. It is refreshing, delicious, and a VERY close second to the Dole Whip.

For today’s Monday Must Have, I am happy to share with you a baby carrier that was new to me with baby number three, but a familiar favorite to many of you, the ERGObaby carrier. I received one two weeks ago and it is simply fantastic. What makes this product great? I love a lot about this product. I love that versatility that allows you to carry baby on your front, hip, or back. (While I don’t recommend wearing baby on your back while at Disneyland because of the attractions, I can think of PLENTY of occasions not at...
