A Fun & Heavenly Cupcake
September 29, 2008
We have had the pleasure of welcoming a new deliciousness to downtown San Diego and it comes in the form of a personal sized piece of cake. Yep, that's right. We finally have a cupcake place in downtown on 6 th and J and it is appropriately named Heavenly Cupcake! I hate to admit this, but for the past two weeks after dinner, we have walked down to Heavenly Cupcake for dessert. Ok, not Read more...
Where to Go Out Sans Kids
September 16, 2008
This post is for all the parents out there in desperate need of going out and having a good time. Sans kids, add good friends if you want. Just get a babysitter, get out and get dressed up for a night, or Sunday morning, out on the town. Anthology -so this supper club with jazz music is the talk of Little Italy and comes highly recommended by numerous friends who enthusiastically Read more...
Best Places to See the Fishies in San Diego
August 19, 2008
We all know the wonders of watching fish of all types splashing around at Sea World and Birch Aquarium. Those places speak for themselves. But, here are some lesser known hot spots to watch the fishies: Pet Kingdom -this pet store in Point Loma is filled with creatures to look at. They have lots of fish tanks at eye level for little ones. Checking out which fish live with their own kind Read more...
What's for Breakfast at the San Diego Zoo?
August 15, 2008
Today was a zoo day, we love this place. It's filled with teachable moments. We arrive first thing in the morning to see active creatures often times nibbling on their breakfast. My girl loves to see our favorite animals chowing down because their breakfast sure doesn't look like her oatmeal. Curiosity takes over, questions are asked and educating is required. So what exactly is on the Read more...
Chinese History in San Diego
July 28, 2008
I'll be the first to admit that we have strolled through Chinatown downtown and in the blink of an eye, passed right through it. There are a few buildings that are noticeably Asian and at the Sunday Farmer's Market and Asian Bazaar on Third Street, you get a taste of Chinese influence. But what I found admirable, without it being blatantly obvious, was the fight to preserve San Diego's Read more...
Top 5 Ice Cream Joints in San Diego
July 25, 2008
Cream, milk, sugar all mixed together icy cold sitting on top of a sugar cone on a hot summer day. I've just described heaven on earth for one little girl I know. There's nothing better than watching a little human devour ice cream for the first or one hundredth time. You just know their taste buds are dancing because you've been there before. In fact, you probably still go there. Gather Read more...
Dinner Destinations in the Gaslamp Quarter
July 22, 2008
[photo credit: chad cavanaugh] First thought that comes to mind when hearing the words Gaslamp Quarter: Partying college coeds. Second thought: Fabulous restaurants. Combine those two and kid-friendly seems unrealistic. But let me tell you, restaurants in the Gaslamp are far more than hot zones for clubbers or the rich and childless. They have world wide vibes and cuisine that you Read more...

Saturday mornings in Little Italy are easy on the senses. Store owners sweep their patios, neighbors sip coffee while walking their dogs, and the aroma of homemade pastries seep out of bakeries. Mornings in Little Italy are a refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle of lifeand it just got better. The Little Italy Mercato is a breath of fresh, Saturday morning air.

Three Days In and Around San Diego: Day 3
July 10, 2008
The Jewel of San Diego La Jolla, meaning the jewel in Spanish, lives up to its sparkly name. This spectacular coastal community has a day's worth-a weeks worth-of activities for every age group. I've highlighted a kid-friendly day in the life of La Jolla including options because honestly, it's hard to decide. This town is magnificent. Hungry for breakfast? Grab a table on the Read more...
Three Days In and Around San Diego: Day 1
July 08, 2008
A Day in the Life of Del Mar A stellar morning in Del Mar begins with breakfast at Pacifica Breeze Caf in the Del Mar Plaza. This place is chill. Sit outside on the easy, breezy patio with views of the Pacific and eat in style. The Breeze Oatmeal is my personal fave. Best of all, this is a family friendly joint so it's OK to cry over spilled milk. No one will mind, they are all too Read more...
It's All About Shyla
June 06, 2008
Yesterday afternoon, here in sunny ol' San Diego, it rained. It was four in the afternoon, not my prime time, and I still had a few hours to burn with my girl stuck in the house. Well, 'stuck in the house is dramatic but I wasn't about to hop in the car and go anywhere in the rain. San Diegans don't drive well in the rain; we are used to water at the beach, not on our roads. I Read more...
Your Neighborhood: French Toast Fridays
June 04, 2008
My girl knows when it is a Friday morning in the East Village. She wakes up and tells me first thing. I have no idea what tips her off, she is not calendar literate yet, but she knows. Each. And. Every. Time. French Toast Fridays at The Mission is our weekly gig. Now, this isn't some restaurant special. This is a special event for my girl and I, we named it ourselves. We cruise a block Read more...
