My oldest daughter is one that loves to stay BUSY! She thrives on routine, schedules, and activities, so needless to say, summer can sometimes pose to be a little challenging.
This summer I plan to keep her entertained at various summer camps, and Plum District is running 14 different deals for OC Summer Camps this week. Deals galore! I wanted to summarize them for you in case any of you are in the same boat and looking to keep the kiddos busy this summer.
Last week I checked off one of one of my Life List things. Life List = Bucket List but I prefer it as I think it sounds a little more uplifting, don’t you?! And one of my Life List things was to take a horseback riding lesson.
(Side note: I had bad experience on a horse one time on the beach in Ensenada when I was about 19 so I hadn’t been back in the saddle since and had always wanted to tackle this fear by taking a lesson the RIGHT WAY!)
And there is no better place in Orange County to do so than Ivy Gate Farm in San Juan Capistrano. Ivy Gate Farm is a hunter / jumper training facility in OC and trains people of all levels from children up to adults, beginner (like me) up to people that go to the top horse shows. I wrote about Ivy Gate HERE if you want more info on the amazing facility.
And it was completely exhilarating. I am also afraid it might be a tad addicting. My experience is outlined in the short video above. Hope you enjoy!
I love this special running through my favorite OC bounce house rental company, Orange County Jumpers, perfect for Spring Break time when you want to keep kids entertained!
Last Christmas my parents gave my husband a “coupon” for a night out on the town and offered to take our girls for a sleepover at their house, which we redeemed this past Saturday night. As a sort of spontaneous decision, we decided to try www.priceline.com to see if we could get a good deal to stay at a local hotel for the night.
Has anyone done Priceline before? I have to say it was pretty exciting going through the bidding and seeing where we ended up! My husband did all the bidding – check out his tips below if you ever want to try it!
