O-live Tree Mediterranean Cuisine

By Tim
Recently, we were invited to O-live Tree Mediterranean Cuisine for dinner.  Located within the business towers of Irvine and conveniently off the 405 FWY and MacArthur Blvd, our family ventured out for an amazing evening of food and fun.  DISCLAIMER: Sponsored post, we were provided a meal for four in exchange for this review.  All opinions are all our own and we were not compensated.

The O-live Tree Mediterranean Cuisine is an great place to grab a great fresh lunch to fuel you through a busy day or entertain a client for that important business meeting.  However, the restaurant is now open for dinner Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings from 5 PM to 9:30 PM.
During our visit, we wanted to experience as many of the offerings as possible to get a full flavor palate for our readers to wet your appetite.  Our kids are fairly picky when it comes to new experiences however with some guidance based on past experiences, we easily guided them to the correct choices.  Our little guy choose the Chicken Kabob Plate with rice and Greek salad.  Our oldest selected the Beef Kabob Plate also with rice and Greek salad.  Alma selected a Homemade Red Lentil Soup and the Greek salad and I chose the Adana Kabob Plate with rice and Greek salad.  Adana is a ground beef and lamb kabob mixed with Mediterranean spices.  I had never tried lamb and wanted to reach outside my comfort zone although that isn't hard to do for me.  When it comes to food, my motto is, "Put it in front of me and watch your fingers!"  We all sampled a bit of one another's plates and enjoyed a casual dining experience with excellent service and soft music playing in the background.  The restaurant also has a beautiful outside patio with gas lanterns and a gorgeous view of the Southern California skies.

The food is delicious, offering large portions at very reasonable prices.  Other plates we saw during our visit included a Grilled Salmon plate, Falafel plate as well as some incredible appetizers like the Roasted Eggplant and Hummus. They offer options for every diet including vegetarian, gluten free and diary free. Authentic food in the heart of Irvine, well worth travelling for a night out with your spouse, friends or a great date spot featuring many local entertainment options nearby.  The O-live Tree is also available for catering and can host private parties upon reservation.

The O-live Tree can be found at 2010 Main Street Irvine, CA 92614.  For reservations call 949-250-1838.  On Saturday, March 19th, The O-live Tree is hosting an evening of dinner and belly dancing, an amazing event to put on your calendar.  You must call now for reservations, seating is limited and filling up quickly.  Click on the link for a belly dancing dinner brochure explaining the event!

 We recommend this restaurant, your family will love it.

State Testing and a letter of encouragement

By Almab7789@gmail.com
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.

By
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

By
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. ...
