We've been going to ALD on the weekends but it's just farther and we'd like to free up our weekends to do more fun things so I recently requested info from Karis for the after school program. They sent me this link to their schedules...

We went last Friday and we enjoyed it quite a bit. It was my kids first time at the circus and they had a great time but were starting to get antsy towards the end since it was past their bedtime.  They moved at a faster pace than Cirque du Soleil and less of the artsy, slow movement stuff. The...

They owners are originally from Feng Yuan which is just north of Taichung City in central Taiwan.

Went there for lunch today and can't wait to go back and try more items on the menu. Found out the owner's parents are from the same small town and lived a couple blocks away from my grandparents. The parents are currently here to help their daughter start this new restaurant. The flavors of...

Last year we did the Albertsons cake and La Serena catering. We had to send someone to pick up the food but it worked out pretty well. This year we tried the Ralphs sheet cake and it was just as delicious and moist as the Albertsons one. People kept asking where we got the cake and when we said...

Not just in Irvine.  Note the end of the article: "It's really not easy for Chinese to buy a property in Taiwan," Xie said. "That's why owning a Taiwanhouse is really something Chinese can show off to everyone."...

Anyone familiar with the Kids Stuff afterschool programs at Brywood and Santiago Hill Elementary?  There's only 2 locations and not much information on it.  Trying to decide if I need to find another after school program.

The music at the Anaheim Packing House is way too loud. My kids freaked out and I saw other parents run outside with their kids every time the band started playing. 

Just cut the cord with Cox last week and only kept the internet.  Hate how Cox makes you pay for all the various packages just to get Disney Jr.  We have the preferred internet for 61.99 and with taxes and fees its around $75.  Disney needs to come out with a subscription service for their app. ...

After all this discussion, I was hoping someone would post some recommendations for house cleaners. If anyone has any info they can share or PM, it would be greatly appreciated.

Been there a couple times now. The food is good and not too salty or oily. I could see some people thinking some of the dishes are bland but I like it. The chef has come out and recommended some combinations that have been pretty good. They also have a couple items like ma po tofu that I don't...

Went last night. Way too crowded and kids could barely see unless they sit on your shoulders. Also Mickey and friends were only on for about 15 minutes. Not worth the trouble.

Its pretty much an indoor playground. They've got an area with these foam building blocks and noodles and this play structure that's got a pretty fast slide, these "guns" on the upper levels that shoot foam balls, and these machines that spit the foam balls everywhere. It kept us busy for almost...

We went to Playland Cafe over the weekend and had a blast.  I would say I was having as much fun as the kids.  My kids didn't want to leave except they were so tired they couldn't put up much of a fight.  Its $12 for kids over 2 and $7 for under.  An adult is free with each paid child or its $5...

Found this site while looking to purchase in Irvine a couple years back.  Now that we are settled in Irvine, this is a great place to hear about new restaurants and other happenings in the area.  Also, it seems like many of you are about the same age with little ones in the household and I can...

International food festival at Santiago Hills Elementary on Friday.  Support our local schools!

Looks like a Chipotle is going into the old El Pollo Loco spot in Woodbury Town Center.

Called Northwood Montessori yesterday and got the snooty vibe too.  My friend ended up sending her kid to Westpark Montessori because they are frendlier and also has less kids.  Northwood Montessori told me I need to hurry up and come in to get on the waitlist because its about 2 years long.  By...

Get the Baby Bargains book. It has some great advice on baby gear.  We learned about it when we met a couple using the book at Bergstroms.  You can get the book at Target. Also, we considered the Chico Keyfit but the book convinced us not to go beyond the infant car seats that go up to about 22...

With respect to the schools, isn't Portola Spring going to be rezonned to the new middle school in Cypress Village and eventually the high school that will be built in the Great Park?
