Kids and Carbs for the Holidays
December 20, 2008
For me, nothing tops the holidays more than the smell of baking food - the delicious aroma of warm cinnamon, melting chocolate, and browning coconut are positively drool-worthy.

Black Cats, Bad Luck?
October 22, 2008
Halloween is the perfect time to take your kiddo to Cat Canyon at the Zoo and demystify the belief that you need to watch out for black cats because they are bad luck. Sure, it's safe to say running into a Brazilian jaguar in the jungles of Brazil is bad luck. But who's hanging out in the jungles of Brazil? It's also safe to say that Orson , the 160 pound jaguar you would run into at the 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...
