We just had our third power outage of the day at our place. Anyone else? I’ve never had so many in one day. Thankfully the longest one was only about 10 minutes long.

My son currently plays soccer for a club based in Irvine. Since the majority of the kids go to school in Irvine, I'be been reconsidering having him play there due to the social aspect. My question is - for kids going to La Paz Intermediate and MV High School, which clubs do they play soccer for? I'm aware of AYSO Extra, but I'm wondering if there are other options I'm not aware of. I would love for my kid to potentially play soccer with kids he may go to school with.

Trying to best evaluate these 3 schools for next year. I certainly plan on visiting each for their open houses / orientations in the fall but would love to hear from parents their & their kids’ experiences regarding their child’s happiness at these schools, the strength of the curriculum, the quality & happiness of the teachers and the community at large - events for the kids, community engagement, etc. I feel lucky to have these options but sometimes choosing among good options can be the most challenging! Any insight is greatly appreciated!

I have two children that need a full time daycare. They are one and three. We have experience with Montessori and we like it, but it is not essential. Our biggest wants are: small ratios/class sizes, decent outdoor play space, warm/loving teachers, and fun programs for the kids. We are not currently interested in in-home daycares and prefer a center. We live in the Oso/Marguerite area and would love to find something nearby. We are looking at the KinderCare in MV by Trader Joe’s and a place called Child Minds Children’s House further away. Does anyone have any good or bad experiences at these centers? Or do you have one you absolutely love? What are pros/cons of your center? Thank you!

Just moved here and finding a good gym has been surprisingly hard. I've tried Fitness 19, 24 Hour Fitness (a couple locations), and LA Fitness so far, but none have quite worked out.

What I'm looking for:

• Decent AC / doesn't feel like a sauna when working out
• Not overcrowded, even during peak hours if possible; I don't mind paying more for this to a reasonable extent
• A secondary area with some equipment where my partner can do her own thing (phone-guided workouts, lighter stuff) without being stuck in the middle of the main floor
• Reasonably clean; doesn't have to be spotless
• Good range of equipment: cardio, stairmaster, weights, etc.
• Close to Mission Viejo (I'm near Los Alisos and 241).

Any recommendations for gyms in the area that check these boxes? Thanks in advance.

Hello I was supposed to go to the Band Perry at the lake on August 22 with my bf who lives in Mission Viejo but he broke up with me

Obviously not the end of the world if I don’t end up seeing this concert, but I was really looking forward to it🤧💔

If any Mission Viejo residents would be kind enough to help me get in I promise I’m a good concert buddy😭
