Discovery Science Center Ticket Giveaway!
October 15, 2010 in All Posts, other so cal tourist attractions
Because we all can’t go to Disneyland all of the time, I love to highlight other So Cal attractions now and then. One of my favorite attractions just minutes from Disneyland is the Discovery Science Center in Santa Ana. The Discovery Science Center is a 59,000-square-foot learning facility designed to spark children’s natural curiosity. Since opening in December 1998, it has been dedicated to educating young minds, assisting teachers, and increasing public understanding and appreciation of science, math and technology through interactive exhibits and programs. Discovery Science Center now receives over 450,000 guests each year. If you are visiting...
This Sunday, I am very proud to be walking in the 20th annual CHOC Walk in the Park held at the Disneyland Resort. Disneyland has had a long-standing, supportive relationship with CHOC. Walt Disney served on the hospital’s original board of directors. Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) provides Southern California’s children with state-of-the-art medical services with the utmost compassion, even when their parents cannot afford the treatments. CHOC cares for the “whole child” and never loses sight of the fact that they are treated children–not adults–no matter how severe the treatment. The Babes In Disneyland team has raised...

Monday Must Have: Maclaren Volo Stroller Review
in All Posts, babies & toddlers, favorite products, review
For today’s Monday Must Have (and yes, I know it’s Tuesday but I had technical difficulties yesterday), I am happy to share with you the Volo stroller by Maclaren. I have been testing out this stroller for several weeks. I this is a high quality stroller meant to last years and years. What makes this product great? Everyone wants a lightweight stroller for trips to Disneyland, although in my opinion, the standard umbrella stroller is a bit too lightweight with its too-low-to-push handles, lack of storage, and flimsy frame. The Volo by Maclaren is sturdy and everything that your...
