Sabrina Rhodes at Country Roads

For this month’s coupon winner, Sabrina Rhodes, Orange is the ideal place to raise a family.  The young mother of two lives in Old Towne with her husband, Mason, and their two young children, and takes advantage of all the area has to offer.

“The community has family-friendly activities and is so walkable,” says Rhodes, who grew up in Garden Grove.  “One of my favorite things to do is walk with the kids to the library and then to the fountain in Plaza Park and Tiddleywinks.

When she’s not exploring Old Towne, from February to May, Rhodes is an assistant track and field jumps and hurdles coach at her alma mater, Garden Grove High School.  “It’s a lot of fun to watch the kids grow in the sport and get excited about competing,” she says.

Rhodes also enjoys making handmade, useful items.  “I like to crochet things like blankets, sweaters, scarves, beanies and stuffed animals.  I’m also working on improving my sewing,” she says.

For her coupon, Rhodes chose Country Roads Antiques & Gardens.  “It’s a really cute place, and I love running across random treasures, like the geography board game from the 1980s that interested me.  My major in college was Geography.”
