OC Tykes Baby Gear Store

In the past 5 1/2 years I have gone through about five different strollers. With the exception of our Bob Revolution Jogger, I really haven’t been completely satisfied with any of them. If I would have known about OC Tykes baby gear store when I was shopping for my stroller, I am sure I would have picked the right one out of the gate and likely saved a lot of money.

OC Tykes is a premier baby gear store located in downtown San Clemente. Specializing in baby gear, their expert staff offers free consultations to make sure you choose the right product to fit your unique needs.

If by chance you are in the market to invest in a new piece of gear and go in this month (by 12/31/11) you will receive 15% off any one full priced item with mention of Tiny Oranges. That can save you some serious buckeroos if you are looking at a stroller or carseat mamas! So stash away that Christmas gift cash, and make your way down there after the holidays to look around!

Burke Williams Day Spa: A Suburban Retreat

The car is too quiet.

No one is demanding a different song on the CD. No one is asking for a snack. What is going on?

I am in the Mission Viejo Kaleidoscope center parking structure. As I wind up, I automatically think, “Am I going to Jump N’ Jammin? Did I pack a change of clothes in case newly potty-trained Morgan needs them?”

But wait, no one is in the car except ME.

When I pull into the Level 5 parking lot, I see the lovely doors and the gold BW sign calling to me…whispering….no one needs you for a few hours…relax…unwind…breathe. I remember why I am there, I open the doors and exhale.

The Giving Box

Recently I heard an awesome presentation recently at a moms’ group I am involved in on how to raise a child that is a giver. Since we are approaching Thanksgiving I was inspired to share one of the simple ideas that my family has adopted.

It is called “The Giving Box” and what I loved most about the idea is that it encourages regular giving throughout the year and not just at the holidays. This is how it works!

The goal is to include your children in the project so that they feel like they are a part of it. The first step is to make your Giving Box…

Fieldwork LA – Orange County Marketing Research Focus Groups

I thought this was a timely post because with the holidays approaching who couldn’t use a little extra cash this time of year? Or maybe in January when the credit card bills come in?!

I have personally always wanted to be a part of a focus group because I thought it would be fun to share my opinions on products. When I heard about Fieldwork LA – Orange County marketing research services I was excited to share this information as I thought a lot of mamas might be interested and want to sign up.

Have you heard of a focus group before? Basically a focus group is a research study on products and services that you use. Typically lasting 1 – 2 hours, they are round table discussions moderated by market research professionals looking to gather real-life opinions from the consumer – YOU! And, at the end of the discussion, you walk out with payment which is typically anywhere between $50 – $100. Isn’t that awesome?
