The research is done.  Here is this years recommendations for summer camps. As the camps are San Diego oriented, hopefully they will give you some ideas where to look for camps in your town.

Have you heard about this new website set up and run by teachers?  It is called Donors Choose, online charity connecting you to a classroom in need.  There are so many different requests, needs and help wanted for students.  You can search by your school district, your local school, project/charity and even teachers.  (more…)

We start any and all decorating the day after Thanksgiving.  Not one snowflake or Santa is unpacked until the day AFTER Thanksgiving.  Since we enjoy partaking in ALL the festivities we can squeeze in, instead of doing a weekend post for Family Fun, all of December is going to be in this post and we will keep it on the front page for the month.  You can check back at any time to find something fun to do.  Some of our rockiteers’ favorites: Oceanside Boat Parade, Encinitas Holiday Parade, (more…)
