Sandy Toes & Popsicles began when founder, Jill Parkin, began this website to share all the fun activities she found with her friends. They were always asking where she was finding so many things to do in Southern California, and a blog was the best way to share them.
By searching for inexpensive Orange County adventures, She found that you could enjoy an entire summer of fun activities within our very own community for practically free! That's how Sandy Toes & Popsicles was born. And it's now become a trusted resource for parents in Orange County, California for more than 17 years!
Today, Sandy Toes & Popsicles has evolved from a blog sharing activities around Orange County and Southern California, but into an all encompassing website that shares not crafts, recipes, DIY, theme parks, travel adventures, and reviews with an Orange County twist.
Everything shared on Sandy Toes & Popsicles has been personally tried and true by founder Jill Parkin, and thoroughly vetted Orange County community members.
Sandy Toes & Popsicles has been features on popular websites, guides and magazines all over Orange County, Southern California, and nationwide. What an honor to be included on trusted resources such as CBC, KTLA, Buzzfeed, HGTV, OC Family, Good Housekeeping, Martha Stewart, Yahoo!, Babble, Woman's Day, and more!
We thank all our readers for all their continued support throughout the years. We enjoy reading all of your comments and suggestions, and hope to continue to share with you many more Orange County adventures and beyond. Come play with us, we want to have fun with you!
Your Friends,
Jill and Family
