Bruxie Waffle Sandwich for Lunch with a Friend.

My latest adventure in field trips was a visit to Bruxie: Gourmet Waffle Sandwich shop. There are 7 Southern California locations and one Denver location to serve you. Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner or Dessert...Bruxie has you covered with amazing sandwiches, salads and treats for everyone in your family.

Bruxie Waffle Sandwiches of Irvine served me a very delicious Pastrami plate. I really enjoyed the crunchy waffle with the tender pastrami. The side of pickles and freshly cut waffle crosscut fries made the meal extraordinary. I had always wondered why the long lines every Saturday morning when I would drive by, now, I know the quality and taste are wait worthy.

Prices at Bruxie are a little higher than its fast food competitors. The restaurant had a fast food feel however this eatery is not fast food. Based on the quality of the food, I think the prices were OK. On the day I visited, I brought a friend and we shared two meals. She gave me a half of her Nutella banana waffle sandwich and I gave her a half of my pastrami. It was the perfect combination for us and felt like a meal plus dessert.

My suggestion is to go with a friend or with your family and make the meal shareable. There are so many choices that sharing is a great way to try several items to find your menu favorite. It is so much fun to combine flavors. I can't wait to go again and try a few different sandwiches. The menu had other options that sounded exciting like the Carnitas Torta or the Buttermilk Fried Chicken and Waffle sandwiches. I will share my next adventure at Bruxie through Instagram, keep your eyes open for the next food experience.

State Testing and a letter of encouragement

State Testing CCSS SBAC is starting next week for our area. This semester, my son's fourth grade teacher has asked that I write him a letter of encouragement. She gave us a few weeks notice. I have, in the past few days, written a few handwritten notes of encouragement. Then, I would wake up the next day realizing that it was not loving enough and second guessing myself. This task has been a little hard for me. Then, the final email reminder came from the teacher. It read as follow: "This is just a friendly reminder to please send a letter of encouragement to your student to be opened this coming Monday, May 1. Students will be given the letters prior to taking their first test." Oh my goodness, I have to get it done!!! So, I put on my big girl pants and re-wrote the letter for the 5th time. This time, I made it classroom friendly and left out lots of the I love you's and all the mushy stuff I had written before. The letter went something like this: ...

How to make a California Mission Model.

Learn how to make a California Mission Model at home or in the classroom. We made this project as part of the California Public School Fourth grade requirement in a group setting. Continue to read on to get the supply list and instructions for a successful mission model. On an ordinary day, I was reminded how amazing kids really are when there are no limits. Just as equally amazing are the teachers who guide them and teach them everyday. I am very thankful for the opportunity that I was given as a parent volunteer. The day was like a beautiful dance where parents, teachers and students came together for a common goal. The goal was to make models of California Missions from a simple picture and lots of cardboard. I can honestly say the goal was reached and everyone deserved an "A".

Field Trip to Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament - Buena Park

My family and I were invited to Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament for an afternoon of entertainment. I want to tell you about our journey into the Middle Ages via Medieval Times. It began at the will-call window with the kind clerk suggesting we visit their museum for a small fee. We said yes immediately to exploring their Middle Ages Museum called “The Museum of Torture”. It sounded interesting and educational to see Medieval exhibits. As we headed to the museum, a women dressed in traditional Middle Ages attire adorned all of us with blue crowns. We were assigned Don Alberto Del Mau as our Knight for the tournament. This meant we would have to cheer and support our Knight into battle. Don Alberto Del Mau is a young squire who is renowned as a champion of the defenseless. Armed with this knowledge, we set out to visit the Museum of Torture. Inside the museum, we realized that living in the Middle ages was a terrible time for all who crossed Royalty. ...
