What are the best places for kid-friendly hiking in San Bernardino?

I’m on the search for hiking trails in the San Bernardino area that are kid-friendly or have kid friendly paths - help! I need some suggestions from real mamas. We’re tried a few different hiking trails that have said online that they are good options for kids, but they have all been absolutely insane and NOT kid friendly at all. My kiddos end up whining and complaining the whole way and it turns our nice nature hike as a family into something that I can’t wait to be done with. Help help help.

The truth about cloth vs. disposable diapers?

What’s the deal when it comes to cloth vs. disposable diapers? We’re expecting next month and this is one area that I get a ton of conflicting advice in. My mom used cloth diapers with all of her children, but this seems like a lot of hassle. I’m willing to do this, of course, if it’s really necessary. Are there alternatives?

Does anyone know of petting zoos in the Irvine area?

So my son is obsessed with bunnies. He wants one really bad, but my friends have told me that there is a ton of upkeep and that it’s probably best if we start out with a pet that is easier to take care of. My son keeps asking me to take him to see bunnies though, and so I was wondering if anyone knows of any petting zoos in the Irvine area? I can’t be the only one with a bunny obsessed kid lol.

Better alternatives to time-out?

I hate to say it, but I think the terrible twos have started with my daughter. Time out means nothing to her. She just gets up over and over again. Parents, do any of you have tips for me on how to make time out work, or other ways to discipline her that she’ll listen to?

Places for a picnic in Gardena?

My daughter keeps asking me if we can have a picnic. It’s really cute! Does anyone have any suggestions of places in the Gardena area where we can go to have a nice picnic as a family? Maybe a quiet park or something like that? Shade would be really nice too. Thank you so much! I can’t wait to hear your ideas :)
