My Top 5 Reasons Dark Harbor at The Queen Mary Should Be On Your Haunts List #darkhabor

Queen Mary Brings Screams, Frights, Food, Side Shows and So Much More with Dark Harbor

 
Have you been to Dark Harbor? Their goal is to scare the SHIP out of you... they do an amazingly frightful job of it too.
 

 
One of my most favorite events each Halloween Haunt season is Dark Harbor. There is something about being on the ship that is creepy in itself and so intriguing.
 

 
I wanted to give you a run down on my favs, must see, tips and more... 
 
1. There is fog everywhere. From the moment you walk in and all throughout the mazes. Lots of it.
 
2. Hundreds of monsters and ghouls waiting for you each night after an opening ceremony behind gates. They are everywhere, hinding, lurking and creeping in the shadows.
 

 
3. The mazes are awesome. Each one is so different and scary in it's own way. From on board the ship to a transformation in a dome tent, the setting is definitely set for horrors of all kinds to find you.
 
4. Sliders!! Not the food but the crazy creeps the come sliding towards you on their hands knees and bodies with sparks flying. Yes. Those Sliders are amazing. They have their own show, not to miss, but also linger around just to freak you out too.

A magical experience on ICE - our family loves it.

Since then I have had kids of my own and love to celebrate all things Disney with them. My parents used to take us to as many events as they could to spend time as a family and enjoy something different. I too feel that I want to do the same with my family.

As a special Holiday treat we partnered with SMALLFOOT movie & Warner Bros. Pictures and are doing a pretty chill giveaway... enter below for your chance to win a copy of the movie!
 

About SMALLFOOT...
 
An animated adventure for all ages, with fun new music by Zendaya & Common and featuring an all-star cast, “Smallfoot” turns the Bigfoot legend upside down when a bright young Yeti (Channing Tatum) finds something he thought didn’t exist—a human! News of the “smallfoot,” Percy (James Corden), throws the simple Yeti community into an uproar over what else might be out there in the big world beyond their snowy village.  This is an epic story about friendship and courage! #SmallfootMovie
 
Good luck to all and Happy Holidays!

Paradise 2 Hours From OC at Miramonte Indian Well Resort - A Girl's Guide To Cars Conference PLUS #Giveaway

Miramonte Indian Wells Is As Relaxing As It Is Picturesque

 
Miramonte Indian Wells is located in the Greater Palm Springs Area just about two hours from Orange County.
 
 
Miramonte Indian Wells Resort & Spa OnTheGoOC Pinterest

 
Thank you, Miramonte Indian Wells Resort & Spa, for having me out for the A Girls Guide To Cars first ever conference. All opinions are my own.
 
Nestled at the foothills of the beautiful mountains in the dessert with warm days and cool nights, I wonder why we have not visited before, it's a hidden oasis.
 
 
Desert Oasis
 
Driving up to the resort you can sense the type of atmosphere you are about to wonder into. It's palms remind me of a socal sunset in a postcard and with date farms locally down the street you see miles of land around you too.
 
The reservation check in desk is welcoming and bright with windows all around and glass doors leading to the courtyard just past the restaurant and bar in lobby. Everywhere you turn the grounds are amazingly lush and green.
 
Once outside you are completely surrounded by lush bright plants, trees and flowers. On site there is even a garden with fruits, veggies and herbs that Miramonte uses in it's restaurant Citrus and Palm.
 

 
 
The Pathways & Resort Amenities
 
Since I was attending A Girls Guide To Cars conference my family had the opportunity to really soak up the resort experience.
 
They loved that there were oversized lawn games to play. My son really gets a sensory fix with these games especially connect four. How perfect.
 

 
My daughter really wants to return for a bike ride. Yes, she noticed that Miramonte offers bikes to their guests, how cool!
 

 
She has an ankle injury and was not able to enjoy the bikes so I promised her we would go back soon to enjoy a ride on the bike paths suggested by the awesome staff.
 

 
There are three pools on hand for lounging, swimming, sun bathing and more. The main resort pool offers cabanas surrounding the 83° water while the other two pools are a bit more secluded and on the quieter side.

Family Volunteer Day Ideas & Details On How You Can Participate Too

Family Volunteer Day is on November 17th!

 
There is so much going on during this time of year. I feel like between sports, school, girl scouts and life, Fall just runs into winter and before we know it the Holidays are upon us.
 
The holidays always get me thinking of what more we as a family can do to give back and volunteer our time with efforts to grow our hearts.
 
It is very important to my family to volunteer where we can and teach our kids that giving back doesn't have to come with a large monetary value but volunteering time where needed is just as much of an impact.
 
This year we are learning more about Family Volunteer Day with the help of an amazing organization called GenerationOn.
 
Did you know that every year, GenerationOn hosts Family Volunteer Day, a global day of service that celebrates the power of families who work together to support their communities?!
 
It's okay I didn't either... but the more I read up on and look into it, I am seeing that it's a great opportunity to teach and do some volunteering.
 
PC GenerationOn
 
 
A Day Of Service On Any Day
 
I find that locally it is hard for us to find stand alone locations that are asking for volunteers that will also accept children under 13yo to do the volunteering.
 
We attend a few local give back volunteer locations here in Orange County as often as we can but because it is not always easy to make that happen due to age, we also think of many DIY giveback opportunities.
 
As a family we love to volunteer our time to the school, to girl scouts, events, beach clean up, back pack drives, animal shelters, food banks and more.
 
It's the little things like gathering clothes to donate, hanging red ribbons pre red ribbon week, gardening at the school over summer when not many are around, picking up trash at the beach, organizing pet need drives and education on adopting.... there are so many ways you can be involved with volunteering as a family locally.
 
 
Details about Family Volunteer Day with GenerationOn
 
Powered by GenerationOn, the youth division of Points of Light and sponsored by The Walt Disney Company, it's a great way to be inspired by the power of helping others.
 
It’s an amazing day to bring your family together and make your mark on the world. Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity!
 
 
How To Get Involved
 
* Pledge to participate or share your family volunteer story and get more info here .
 
* Get social and spread the word to get others excited too with #FamilyVolunteerDay
 
* Check out local opportunities by zip code or keyword that will be available for volunteering. I have checked our local zip and see a lot of volunteering that is age appropriate to under 13!! Yay.
 
* Create your own DIY volunteer project. It could be beach clean up, park clean up, painting a local fence that needs it, helping at a school event, checking in with your local girl scouts to see how they may need help with their projects. So many fin ideas to volunteer together!
 
Here are some amazing and super family friendly ideas on GenerationOn YouTube.
 
Don't forget to share your moments with #FamilyVolunteerDay , #Disney and tag @GenerationOn too!
 
We can not wait to volunteer and make our mark on Novemebr 17th....

Portola Walk in La Habra Now Open - Plus Model Home Tour Video #PortolaWalk

I love where we live!! OC is the place for me…

 
Orange County has the best of both, well, all worlds, with the beach and mountains only a short drive away. La Habra is centrally located in North Orange County.
 
Thank you to Portola Walk for Inviting me out to tour the property and model homes - all opinions are my own.
 
Have you been to La Habra?
 
With roots of rich CA history, a children's museum, an old town feel with modern updates, and a community involvement, La Habra proves itself to be a wonderful city.
 
Situated at the center of the greatest La Habra has to offer; Portola Walk by Olson Homes boasts in-town living and a connected lifestyle.
 

 
Models Now Open and Tours offered daily…
 
After taking a 3 hour tour around Portola Walk, I was surprised at how long I was exploring the new homes.
 
Okay, so let's get into some of my favorite things about Portola Walk in La Habra!
 
Highlights of the beautiful quaint community and its homes… 
 
* Close to the East San Gabriel Valley and just moments away from Beach Boulevard. 10 min from the freeway and 30 minutes to beaches. Also, only 30 minutes to south county cities such as Mission Viejo.

* Close proximity to work and school, plus local access to neighborhood shops, restaurants and entertainment venues. New developments of specialty dining are popping up within close proximity, raising the value of social and local exploring to support the community. Also, I love museums and did you know La Habra has a children's museum!?
 
* Best of all—each of Portola Walk’s 50 (45 market rate and 5 affordable) townhomes feature energy efficient designs, created with quality craftsmanship that’s been perfected with over 25 years of homebuilding experience.
 
* Open and Welcoming Floor Plans. I love the feeling of being able to not only see what my kiddos are doing, but also ask them to help me out in the kitchen or offer them help on homework.
 

 
The open floor plan dining and living with an amazing kitchen island makes all the difference to me. I love being connected and spending time with family and friends! 
 

 
* Bright with Windows Everywhere! Each room is filled with natural sunlight. It's wonderful!
 

 
* Optional first floor bedroom or den in Plan 6. During my tour, I was able to really navigate through each of the model homes. Plan 5, the three bedroom floorplan, is just as magnificent and modernly equipped as Plan 6, the four bedroom floorplan.
 

 
I have to mention the Plan 6 home has access to an optional bedroom on the first floor through the garage or front door. This is great for an older teen or office but really stood out to me on a personal level. Having a room on the first floor makes it convenient for a grandparent or someone who may not be able to do stairs all the time.
 

 
There's an attached powder room as well, so it's also perfect for someone who may need to have access to daily living comfort or special needs capabilities, too.
 
 
Bonus...take a peek at my videos from the grand opening of Portola Walk this past weekend here and here
 
Double bonus...Portola Walk is less than 20 minutes from Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm!!
 
Portola Walk is also only a short drive from the beach and the mountains so you can hit the sand and the slopes in the winter!
 
If you are interested in pricing and availability, I can direct you here for more information!
 
Book a tour today and discover the ideal neighborhood for a connected life. Details here.
 
Happy house hunting, SoCal, and when you stop by the Portola Walk Welcome Center, let them know Penny from OnTheGoOC says hello!
