This isn’t so much for kids, but if moms/girlfriends want to get together, HGTV is looking for volunteer audience members for a new show! I believe it’s called Design Club with Matt & Shari, and they’re filming almost everyday in February. There are 2 shifts per day with 2 show tapings per shift. The first shift is 8:30am-12:30pm and the second is 1:30pm-5:30pm.
The organizers say the biggest need is during the 1st week (which is now), from Feb 6-9 and 11-12. Following tapings are from Feb 19-23 and Feb 25-28. Note that there is a dress code since audience members may appear on TV.
Email feelgoodnights@gmail.com or danaryan18@gmail.com to RSVP!

One of my favorite weekend activities as a kid, and even now, is attending festivals. Some are based on food, like strawberries or garlic, while others are based on culture, like Chinese or Japanese. When else can you take advantage of a day that celebrates chili and people’s love of chili?! It’s also a great opportunity to expose your kids to a variety of activities, shows, and people.
Check out my new Local Events page for a list of festivals and events in Southern California: http://gagazine.com/test/local-events/. If you can’t get to these events, use your favorite search engine to find similar festivals near you!

I don’t have kids yet, but I’m a kid at heart. Recently, a friend had a birthday party at Color Me Mine. Where has this place been all my life?! You choose an unpainted pottery piece (i.e. plate, bowl, mug, dog, penguin, etc.), paint it however you want with provided paint, leave it there for firing in their kiln, and pick up your masterpiece a few days later!
There’s a small fee to use the studio and the cost of your pottery depends on the piece that you choose, but most locations designate certain days/times as 50% off fees or fee free.
Touted as a fun rainy-day activity for kids, I don’t need to wait for stormy weather to go to Color Me Mine for hours of entertainment.
