Adding Rockford T. Honeypot to Our Book Collection

All four of our kids are now young adults now, one with a child of her own, but they will all tell you that as they grew up, we were big readers. Our book collection was vast, and we read before bedtime most nights. We also encouraged independent reading on the daily, in addition to taking books when we’d travel for down times in the hotel. That book collection still sits on a shelf in our hallway, and we’ve passed some of it down to our first grand baby. We may no longer have bedtime story time but that doesn’t stop us from continuing to add books to the shelves.

The latest addition is the Adventures of Rockford T. Honeypot, available on Amazon and eBook as of June 23. Written by Josh Gotsegon, it’s a fun story full of whimsy and age-appropriate intrigue that any child will love to read. We were sent a complimentary copy so we could provide a review here on the site.

The press release summarizes it best: As a young chipmunk, shy, bookish Rockford T. Honeypot had dreams of thrilling adventures across the forest. However, timid of danger and germs, his only adventures were found in books and his imagination. When his family abandons him after a mistake that destroys their hazelnut business, Rockford sets off on a legendary journey beyond his wildest dreams. From exploring cuisines with a famous chef, training with ancient warrior monks, flying on giant hawks, finding true love, and much more, Rockford recounts his epic origin story of hardship, perseverance, and fortune.

The story is adorable, and you’ll come to love Rockford…and maybe relate to him a little, as we learn about life lessons along the way together. Rockford teaches us to never give up, something that we all need to remember, particularly in today’s trying times.

More on the author, Josh, from the press release: Los Angeles native Josh Gottsegen has a background in filmmaking and digital media and is the author of “Joosh’s Juice Bar,” an early elementary school children’s book series that encourages healthy eating habits through vivid illustrations and Dr. Seussian-style rhymes. Earning his BA in Film Studies at the University of California Santa Barbara, Gottsegen has won numerous awards for his short films and video productions. Starting professionally at NBCUniversal Interactive, later Josh Gottsegen moved into editing as well as other creative projects for the Walt Disney Company, Fox Corporation, IMG, and the NFL. 

One thing that impressed me immediately was the quotes on the back of the book; he’s a heavy-hitter with two from Nat Geo! This easy reading but fast-paced book earns a place in your family’s book collection and I know you’ll love it as much as we did.

Donna | SoCal Lifestyle Blogger
SoCal winter is colder than you think, and I am al SoCal winter is colder than you think, and I am all about comfort and staying warm. I want to get dressed in the morning and be able to handle my whole day without having to do a wardrobe change, and these Max and Mia leggings fit the bill. And me. They fit me perfectly. They are high-waisted, which means they help hide my tummy jiggles while preventing the rolling down that often happens with leggings. For me, they’re like compression leggings without the higher cost, and they fit smoothly so I can wear them with anything. Dress them up, dress them down, they work with my Doc Marten’s and my Converse, a fancy sweater or this plush fleece sweatshirt.

I’m wearing a medium, and there’s a good flex, so I could officially call them eating pants, because no waist will be biting into me, which is almost as important as the warm factor. We’ve had high winds here in the Inland Empire, and I wore these out in it without filling any chill in my legs. Look cute, hide the chubs, feel warm, maybe even do yoga in them. Winning on all counts. Look for them at CostCo!

Thanks to @MelissasProduce, I got to try something Thanks to @MelissasProduce, I got to try something new and make this fun recipe for Lunar New Year. Shrimp, bok choy and egg noodles come together with a sweet and spicy sauce and a few other types of produce to make a one-dish dinner for your family. We’re a spicy family, so I added a little chili oil (and a dash of hot yuzu sauce) but you can change that up according to your family’s preferences. This serves probably four people if it’s your only entree, but could stretch a little more — I know the hubs had some good leftovers today, there was only three of us for dinner last night.

You can join the #LNYCookoff challenge by making two of the recipes out of the long list that Melissa’s Produce will supply. Check it out over on their Instagram feed! I’m trying a Garlic Gai Lan in a few days and I’m really excited to make something that I’ve never tried before. And I love garlic, so anything with it is a win.

Little side note: I went out of order on the recipes. I can’t eat beef so I had to skip ahead. The beef recipes look fantastic though! I just don’t buy it because I can only stare at it in envy. 😂

Throwing it back (thanks to Facebook memories) to Throwing it back (thanks to Facebook memories) to when we attended the opening party for nFuse at the Anaheim Marriott. What a blast! Bourbon tasting bar, meeting the chef, amazing food and cocktails…and crazy photo opps like this one! We had so much fun with foodie friends that night. As a Magic Key holder who is down in Anaheim often, I really have no excuse for not going back frequently.

Time for my yearly intro! I’m Donna, a mom of fo Time for my yearly intro! I’m Donna, a mom of four, grammy to two, and doggy mom to Shuri and Lady Sif. If the dog names didn’t give it away, I’m a huge Marvel and Disney fan. I’m also the owner of a social media marketing agency here in Southern California, and I have been a blogger since the early days. (I think my first blog started in 2005?) 

“Dangerous Cupcake” is based on a nickname my younger daughter created a long time ago, and since I started blogging because I wrote about my ‘dangerous cupcake’ combinations — all booze-infused, popular with friends, family members and clients — it seemed a fitting choice for my lifestyle blog. My blog is now a team effort; we write about food, drinks, travel, entertainment, home/life and more. 

We’re huge NASCAR fans, and I drive my dream car, so there’s also some automotive content mixed in. 

As I’m now in what is called midlife, one of my goals is to authentically share what life is like in what I call phase 2, where we’re still actively parenting but in a different realm. I’m not an empty-nester, but all our kids are over 18. This phase of life is pretty fantastic but we’re a generation that’s often left out of marketing despite the fact that we have more money and more time and we give less Fs about what people think. If you’re over 45, own it. Be yourself. And if you want purple hair, go for it — I do!

I’m glad to have you all here!

January can seem like a dreary month. Here in Sout January can seem like a dreary month. Here in Southern California, it can be full of rain, cloudy skies and temps that go up and down by the hour. It’s kind be a mood killer, as we’re putting away the fun lights and sparkly dresses and getting back to work. That’s why it’s important to take a break, get out and enjoy the fresh air while you can. Today’s window was small, and I only made it to a few stores at Victoria Gardens before the rain temporarily returned….and I realized I’d left my umbrella in my car, parked on the east side of the mall. I made that hour count though, enjoying this gorgeous view and scoring a few deals at Forever 21, Journeys and H & M. New chunky gold jewelry and purple Converse. (Have I shared that I have a thing with buying new shoes all the time?)

I’m starting 2023 off right — my kind of right. No resolutions, just getting back to my normal, and if that normal includes returning to better eating, more activity and new business goals, that’s not resolutions. That’s pulling out of the holiday fugue where <almost> anything goes. I cleaned out my closet, with no mercy. (I donated 8 bags of clothes and shoes, many with tags! Shameful waste but I hope someone else benefits at least now.) I filled out my Erin Condren Life Planner with a ton of content plans for my business, my blog and my clients. (Did you know I own a social media marketing agency? I’ve been in digital marketing for 25 years now! I’ll have to do another intro post soon!) 

Thanks to some wonderful inspiration here on Instagram, I’m also celebrating that I gave away some of my super shapeless sweats so I have less excuses to look like a slug during my days at home. More style, MY style, and less baggy outfits. I’ve got this..right?
