Frugal Friday: Adventure Playground at Huntington Beach Central Park
Contributing post by Justine Burgess
If you’re in Orange County (or nearby), we have a great spot for kids to be…well...kids!

Contributing post by Justine Burgess

MARIACHI USA Festival is here!
There are a few things on my bucket list that will need to be gifted to me by others. One of these is a serenata (serenade) by a Mariachi - preferably on my birthday or Mother's Day. There is just something so magical and incredibly moving about Mariachi. It's full of tradition, and often, will bring tears to my eyes because it is then that I remember my Dad and how much he liked that type of
