Mommy and Me Day at Raley Field

By Annie Alves

One event that Spencer that really looks forward to is Mommy and Me Day at Raley Field.  Twice during baseball season, the Sacramento Rivercats open up Raley Field to the public for this free event. 

Scattered across the entire field were activities that your little ones can tire themselves out with.   The big attractions for Spencer and Owen were the bounce houses.  A few of us moms were about to set up at the end of field with snacks and refreshments while the kids played with Frisbees, t-ball, and ran around in circles.  We even got to see Dinger play the drums!  If you have never gone, there is another one in May and it is a whole lot of fun. 

Mothers Night Out - March 2012

by Theresa Gallagher

This month's Mom's Night Out found us on an excursion to old Mexico—that is as close to Mexico as you can get on K Street.  On a Friday night in March, a small group of mom's ventured out in the pouring rain for a visit at Mayahuel Restaurant and Tequila Bar.  The downtown restaurant was a great place to wait for the storm to pass.  We enjoyed some zesty dishes--and that was just the conversation!  We sampled and shared each others enchiladas, tacos, and chile rellenos while sipping minty mojitos and smooth tequila.  If you ever make it to this restaurant, the Crema de Chile Poblano soup is a must try!  All warmed up from our good eats, we braved the storm to head home.  I was so thankful for a much needed MNO, and very grateful that we did not end up doing a scavenger hunt in the rain!
