Living in Southern California means that we have many perks. One of them is that it is sunny most of the time. Beach weather is usually all the time. We live only 30 minutes away from the Corona Del Mar and Newport Beach area, so we visit often. On this day we visited the Salt Creek Beach.  

Disclosure:This is a sponsored post. All thoughts and opinions are all my own. Right now is the perfect time to buy season passes to the park. You can find prices as low as 6 payments of $14.00 per ticket. Being a season pass holder has perks that offer discounts for shopping at the park. The Platinum offers entrance to other Cedar Fair Parks and free parking. This is the best deal.  To find out more or purchase tickets please go to  Knott's Enter for a chance to win season passes by going to  Knott's Facebook

I am so excited about attending the "Natural Products Expo West 2014" in Anaheim. It is the most incredible place to be this weekend. The Expo hosts hundreds of people who will share, talk and form relationships all in the name of healthy foods. Just drive by Katella and Harbor tomorrow to see vendors passing out samples of their most prized items. The streets all around the  Anaheim   Convention   Center  will be covered with people walking to and from the Expo West. You will see signs and cars driving around with food labels that are organic and healthy for you. This will be my third year attending. I can't wait to see what new things I will share with you.  Follow us on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook to get immediate pictures of the event. #ExpoWest http://instagram.com/fieldtripmom https://twitter.com/FieldTripMom

The movie Mr. Peabody & Sherman starts this Friday March 7th! YEAH!!!  This is a movie that everyone will enjoy from Grandparents to Grandchildren. The character was first introduced to us in the 1950's as one of Rocky and Bullwinkle's friends on their animated show.  I grew-up watching the re-runs of the cartoons and I absolute love this cute, smart Beagle. 

It's raining this weekend, but don't let that stop you from enjoy fun things to do with your loved ones. Get out and find a museum, an amusement park or local library and build memories.  To help you I have listed below fun events around Southern California. Drive safely and don't forget to bring an umbrella.
