MU-bloggers at sign

I attended 5 excellent classes taught by the top Pixar “Professors” while on the #MonstersUEvent press trip. All travel expenses were covered but no compensation was received. All thoughts, opinions, and notes are my own.  When I was in college (the first time around) I was known to my professors as a top-notch note-taker. I [...]

Walt Disney Family Museum5

I visited the Walt Disney Family Museum while on the #MonstersUEvent press trip. All travel expenses were covered but no compensation was received. All thoughts, opinions, and pictures are my own.   When I say ‘Disney,’ I bet you think of three places: Southern California, Florida….and movie theaters. San Francisco may not be at the [...]

First Day on Campus: Monsters University #MonstersUEvent

Monsters University Freshman orientation at Pixar Animation Studios

Disclosure: I attended the Monster’s University Freshman Orientation (press event) this month. My travel and accommodations were included, as well as plenty of behind-the-scenes sneak peek information about the upcoming movie. All opinions are my own. As soon as I stepped off the bus for freshman orientation at Monster’s University, I felt like I’d been [...]

San Diego Mountains in Spring – Give Me Your Best Shot #PSF

san diego mountains

When I think of San Diego, I think of beaches and sun and zoo animals. I had no idea that there was so much beauty just beyond the city limits. (That’s not to say that there isn’t beauty within the city of San Diego….That came out wrong!). While I was in San Diego last weekend, [...]

Coronado California #WordlessWednesday

Coronado beach

The only complaint that I have about my weekend trip to Coronado California is that I forgot to order the warm Southern California weather before I hopped on the plane. You’d never know that it was in the 60s most of the time I was there – the beach and the scenery were incredible. PS [...]

Monsters University freshman orientation

No, I’m not talking about my oldest daughter heading off to college (expect that announcement next year). Me! I’m going to be leaving in just a few weeks for freshman orientation at MU (Monsters University, that is). My decision to head back to school came somewhat spur of the moment, though I’ve been putting quite [...]

Washington D.C. in Black and White – Give Me Your Best Shot #PSF

washington DC in black and white

I didn’t get all that much time to see the sights during my 3-day stay in Washington D.C. this week….As a resident of the Washington D.C. metro area, I didn’t think I needed to “play tourist” during my Shot@Life trip, but I couldn’t help taking a few shots. The Shot@Life crew kept us very busy, [...]

100 Congressional Offices Visited – Wordless Wednesday

20130212-093233.jpg

Monday 2/11/13 was an incredible day. Together with over 100 women and men – bloggers, pediatricians, partner organizations, students, business owners – my group of 7 Maryland women walked up and down and back and forth on Capitol Hill, meeting with as many of our local Congressmen as we could. At the end of the [...]

10 Things Moms Should Never Feel Guilty About {Mom Guilt!}

5 things moms should never feel guilty about

Yesterday afternoon, my family dropped me off at the metro station near our house and I rode into DC for a 3-day Shot@Life Champions Summit. During the 10 minute drive to the metro station, we all listened to my youngest screaming, “Mom, you are NOT going anywhere!” “Mom, I don’t want you to go! Stay!” [...]
