Where French Fries used to be, Extreme Wild Wings took over. The arcades are gone but what replaced that place is more seating, a lot of TVs, and sports banners. This is truly a sports fan dream.

The atmosphere is open, but what will make me come back here are the flavors and quality of the wings. We ordered 40 wings and got 4 different flavors! They were all good and the size is great!

I wish the wings came with carrots and celery, but that's just a minor thing. We could order them as sid...

For my dad's 70th birthday celebration, we decided to have a party at Picnic Spot N at Santee Lakes in San Diego County. This spot is located at Lake #4. With a reservation here, I as able to have this spot from 6AM - 6PM for the day I reserved for.

I was really impressed with this particular picnic spot (Spot N) because it's on a little island. We crossed a bridge to get the area. I think with my decorations, it immediately wowed the guests coming to the party at this particular spot. It ha...

Lure Fish House is a newer seafood restaurant in Downtown San Luis Obispo with bold architecture and a wonderful fresh seafood menu that will make you feel like you're somewhere else! It's a nice escape. Upon doing a quick research online, I realized they've been open for a year at this point now!

With high ceilings and posh service, I'm reminded of all the amazing restaurants that I've visited in the last few decades. Besides creating delicious dishes, Lure definitely knows how to find...

Surprising to many, one of my kids rather have cookies without chocolate chips. We had some gluten-free flour lying around so I concocted a batch of cookies that uses Monkfruit Sweetener with Erythritol instead of sugar, so it's also sugar-free. I also used vegan butter instead of regular butter. All in all, I really like how the cookies taste with monk fruit and vegan butter. It has a very rounded flavor with a hint of fruitiness that I very much enjoy.

There was a period of time when one of my kids had to go on a strict low sucrose streak because of blood work that indicated that he had sucrose intolerance.

Planning a birthday party that's just right for the season can be tricky. There are questions about whether it should be family with relatives only, with friends only or both? So far, we have hosted birthday parties for our sons at Pacific Flips Gymnastics, Pismo Bowl, Ravine Waterpark with a canopy rental, and at Pismo Beach on the sand where we brought and set up our own canopy (literally on the beach).

For each birthday party that we had planned out here on the Central Coast, it has been...

A month ago, I dined at El Mirador and raved about how they made a fantastic California burrito on instagram.

Then, today, I walked down the same street to check them out again and realized they are now permanently closed.

The exact message they had on their window was this:
"Permanently closed
From the bottom of our hearts,
thank you for over 28 years of support - El Mirador"

I'm sad that they permanently closed, but glad that I was able to enjoy their California burrito before El Mi...

We started the new year with a LEGOLAND vacation! I am a native San Diegan, born and raised, but have moved away after I got married. Coming back to San Diego to visit LEGOLAND California is especially nostalgic to me as I used to work for a software company that builds booking engines that sold tickets online, and the client at LEGOLAND used to invite me to visit them for free every year, before I even had kids!

I don't get free tickets anymore, but as a mom, I still try to find deals onl...

As a transplant from San Diego, moving to a small city from a bigger beach town gives me a different perspective. I'm used to the beach life but I've put my feet in the water here in Pismo Beach more than I have in the 29 years that I used to live in San Diego. That's because hanging out at the beach here is so easy! And because, well, I have more time to enjoy the SLO life here.

One of my favorite ways to watch a movie is going to the Sunset Movie Drive-In Theater in San Luis Obispo for some outdoor movie watching.

It's a great alternative way to watch the latest movie instead of sitting in an indoor stuffy room. Don't get me wrong, I still go to the indoor movie theaters as they have more options for the latest movie selections than the outdoor drive-in theater experience. However, going to this local drive-in reminds me of camping a bit and I love it!

Flying out of San Luis Obispo, California, and traveling to Cancun, Mexico required our family to hop on two plane rides.
