My 10yo Loved Creating, Writing & Publishing a Story at Storymakery! #MyStorymakery

Storymakery at the Irvine Spectrum Brings Creativity to Life with a Book!

 

Have you been to Storymakery in Irvine at the Irvine Spectrum?!

 

 



 

A few months ago my daughter's girl scout troop did a scavenger hunt where they passed by Storymakery.

 

Ever since my daughter has been asking to check it out! She has been telling me she has the perfect story to write but it would probably have to be a series of books!

 

Thanks to Storymakery for having us out to experience the creative fun.

 

Let me break down the visit, options and how it all works....

 

Storymakery can host you one at a time, a group or a large party.

 

The creator starts by picking their option of a gift to give or a story to keep.



 

Tried Fresh Brothers Pizza & Loved It! #Giveaway #NationalPizzaMonth #FreshBrothers

Fresh Brothers Fresh Pizza and so much more... 

Have you tried Fresh Brothers yet?

 

Yum - It was our first time and we loved it.

 

 



 

We are big on pizza but when you can order tasty appetizers, salads and desserts it's just an added bonus.

 

But wait... if you dine in you can also grab a beer and watch some sports on the many t.v.'s they have set up. I heard Monday night football has become a family night at Fresh Brothers and while we were picking up our to go order it was about that time.

 

On busy nights (4 or so week nights) we have school, soccer, training, o.t., homework and random stuff... but I still try to make or serve my kids tasty healthier foods.

 



 

We called in a to-go order. It was so easy to order, pick it up and get home to a hot meal ready for my family to chomp down on. After soccer my 10yo can eat like a grown woman... she's as fierce as her hunger too.

 

While the Fresh Brothers team put our order together we chatted with RJ the manager. He is really awesome. He told me how proud he is to work at Fresh Brothers not only because it's great food but because as a company they give back to their communities and take pride in bringing families together for food and fun.

 

RJ mentioned they have the ability to host parties or group outings. The group would make their pizzas and eat them too. I love this! You can find out more about booking one here.

 

Something else that RJ really stressed to me is the quality of ingredients in all their foods. From pizza to salad and all the appetizers in between... even the pepperoni is all natural. That meant taking my pepperoni pizza home, I'd see much less grease, I loved that!

 

 



 

 

I took some photos of the inside and it's pretty spacious. I can see why it fills up for game nights!

We packed up and filled our car with the smell of tasty goodness. It was a long ride home smelling but not tasting haha!

 

Wow! With a variety of eats Fresh Brothers packs on as much variety in their flavors.

 

 



 

The pizza was amazing and we all loved the taste of freshness and toppings.

 

 



 

The sides were delicious on their own & the chicken parm sliders and beef sliders were a hit with everyone.

 



 

The fresh green salad was perfect for the palate in between so many flavors between the pizza and the side dishes.

 

 



 

Something that really stuck with me was that there is vegan cheese and gluten-free pizza crust so that anyone can really enjoy that may have a dietary need.

 

Fresh Brothers even has you covered for dessert to go! Check out these beauties!

 



 

While we did not dine in this time I was totally encouraged by the chat RJ and I had to bring my family it. He said they like it fun, loud and full of good energy.

 

I told him I appreciated that since my son is a wild one but with an amazingly crafty yet sweet heart.

 

So... since I love that there is beer served and TVs everywhere so that families can plan a nice night out enjoying a favorite sport for the adults while the kids enjoy delish Pizza... I'm going to take the fam back for more but stay and dine in!

 

This month is perfect to repeat our visit.. it is National PIZZA Month!! YAY!

Raging Waters Summer Tips for Family Fun Plus Discount Code #RWLALiveForSummer

Raging Waters Is Perfect to Beat the Heat in So Cal!

Raging Waters is huge! With so much to do the day goes by so fast leaving you wanting more.

Just 40 mins from where the 405 and 5 meet (where I drove from), Raging Waters is located where the 57, 10 and 210 freeways meet in the city of San Dimas. It was perfect for an all day visit on a Friday, opening at 10am and closing at 6pm, allowing us to miss traffic on the way home once we were ready to leave...

My family had such a great time and it had been a while since I have visited so to show my kids the old and all the new was very special to me and well super FUN!

We spent all day at Raging Waters and we could not get enough. The Time flew by so fast and we all wanted to stay longer. With that said we had a chance to get to know the water park a bit and see the ins and outs of how to make the most of the day. 

Insider Tips and 411 on the Amenities Offered...

* Bring cheap flip flops...wear them everywhere. Even if it's not too hot it's just easier to get around than bare feet walking in water from spot to spot...and less time needed to carry the littles.

Aquaball helps us kick off summer with a Giveaway. Check out all the new details about this awesome Flavored water and enter to win some for yourself too!

I am super excited that I am an Aquaball mom! What does this mean.... well I get the insider info of all the happenings at the headquarters and can bring all sorts of news, fun and cool stuff to all my readers. 

We have been fans of Aquaball water for over 4 years now. We have been in love with the fun design, Disney characters on the bottles and of course the taste of the water itself. There are many flavors that seem to hit everyone's taste-buds. 

There is so much going on over at Aquaball that I just have to share all the excitement over this kids drink (that even us parents love...shhh)! So here we go...

Whats New?
* New Packaging - as if these were not cute before the cuteness stays and the practical shape comes into play with a more oblong share. Perfect for the fridge and snack bags to go. They fit in cup holders and little hands much better.
