Broadway At Music Circus Debut: Shrek The Musical

June 11, 2019

Julie Gallaher of Sacramento Top 10 and Get On The Map recently reached out to my mom who blogs at Inspired Imperfection and invited us to preview the show and write reviews as part of the #BroadwaySacramentoAmbassadors! We all met up before the show at Chandos — hello, tacos! — right across the street. Yummy!

Shrek the Musical kicks off the 69th season of Broadway At Music Circus today and runs through June 16, 2019 at Wells Fargo Pavilion.

Sacramento County Fair 2019

Sacramento County Fair 2019: Family, Fun, and Fabulous Food

May 23, 2019

Today is opening day for the 83rd consectuive Sacramento County Fair. That means monster trucks, bull riding, farm animals, pony rides, camel rides, street musicians, hypnotists, puppet shows, jugglers, livestock, comedians, a petting zoo, friend food, circus acts, entertainment and shows, live music, midway rides, shopping, and more are rolling into town for a weekend of fun.

The Sacramento County Fair runs May 23-27, 2019 at the CalExpo Fairgrounds near Arden Fair Mall.

I know lots of people are all about the California State Fair, which also happens at CalExpo, but I LOVE the Sacramento County Fair because it’s way less overwhelming, it’s got a local vibe, and it’s smaller and totally doable in one day. Plus, while I could spend the whole day in the Midway hopping from ride to ride, OMG… the food is where it’s at.

February 13, 2019

I haven’t been ice skating in years, but this winter I’ve been twice, both at the Downtown Sacramento Ice Rink with my best friends! I forgot how much fun it is, even if you fall a few times. The ice rink downtown is newly renovated and is the perfect place to hand out and have fun!

Flying Dragon Coaster Funderland Sacramento

Funderland Is Still Fun

July 20, 2014

Even though most of the rides are for little kids, I still LOVE to go to Funderland at Williamland Park in Sacramento and ride rides!

This time my brother, my mom, and I went together and we had so much fun! We loved the going on the rides together and hanging out. The Log Ride and Backroads Buggies were Carter’s favorite, but mine was the spinning-in-a-circle like crazy Wild Stagecoach ride and the Flying Dragon Coaster!

Here are some photos from our day

Groovy Halloween Hippie

Groovin’ My Way To Candy

October 31, 2013

Happy Halloween, man.

Halloween was so much fun this year! To celebrate, I brought in doughnuts to school… but we added monster teeth to the middle of each doughnut to make it look like a monster! My friends loved the doughnuts :)

I was super exited to be a hippie and get my groove on! My costume had some super cool glasses, an awesome headband, and some pretty wild pants and shirt! My brother Carter decided to be the famous explorer, Indiana Jones! Everyone loved our costumes, we saw some pretty cool costumes around the neighborhood, and we scored a TON of candy. Oh yeah!

We also got tons of candy from Fairytale Town in Williamland Park, Sacramento. Fairytale Town does a safe Halloween event every year and this year’s theme was the Hobbit with Smaug The Dragon! They have almost 20 different candy stops around the park where you can trick-or-treat, and the best part is, you can stop at the same candy stop more than once!

Before Halloween we went to my cousins’ house for some Halloween pictures and pumpkin carving! Everybody got to decorate and carve their own pumpkin, even Chloe with her tiny little pumpkin! The pumpkins where all very scary looking! We had so much fun, but my mom didn’t enjoy the scooping out the goo part!
