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...
Bowling for Lunch
September 18, 2008
In the East Village of downtown lies the East Village Tavern and Bowl adorned with a skull and crossbones and glowing lanes. Don't let any of that turn you off when you are with your kids. In fact, let that fuel the games on mentality in you and your kiddos during the week. On game nights, game days and weekends this place is hoppin' with crowds out for a good time. But, if you head to Read more...

There are two places here in San Diego that deserve mention not only for their creative genius and friend making opportunities, but for their understanding of a parent's need for a break. These two places will enrich your child while they enrich your social, and personal, needs too. Java Mama -located in La Mesa, Java Mama is heaven.

Frozen Yogurt Art
July 31, 2008
[photo credit: wikimedia] In honor of this past week's ice cream posts, I thought I'd do a shout out for frozen yogurt... So there was this rumor going around downtown about some frozen yogurt place moving in to the Hard Rock Hotel called Pinkberry . Pink what? Geez, the looks of horror and surprise at not knowing what Pinkberry was felt like sitting in the naughty chair. First of 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...

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.

[photo credit: stock.xchng] Princess dress? Check. Sparkling crown? Check. Faux glass slippers? Check. Pumpkin coach? Check. Pumpkin coach? Absolutely! How can you be princess for a day without the horse drawn coach?
