OK, I’m about to tell you a secret. Up until this past year, we kept our water heater set at a very low temperature. That meant three things: I saved money on heating water, my water never got very hot….ever, and my showers had to be quick. And despite the fact that the water heater [...]

A year ago, I discovered an exercise program that I actually enjoyed doing and I found it in an unexpected place….In my basement My husband has been anti-video game for as long as I can remember (and we’ve been married for almost 17 years…). We’ve never had video games or video game platforms, and although [...]

It’s only the 5th day of the year, and already I feel like I’ve talked quite a bit about seeking and achieving balance. I suppose it has just been on my mind. So it didn’t surprise me when the title of this Momversation video jumped out at me this morning. (No, I didn’t scream at [...]

I’ve been talking a lot the last 2 weeks about War Horse – the Red Carpet Premiere (and seeing Steven Spielberg!), the exciting RUN through New York City to get there, the celebrity interviews….and today I am back with an exclusive Dreamworks-blogger-only clip from the movie that you won’t be able to find anywhere else. [...]

This month marked a first for me (and at my age, it’s hard to come by firsts very often). While I was in New York City with Disney/Dreamworks earlier this month, I was able to see Mary Poppins on Broadway. The performance was everything I could have hoped for and imagined….and more. Necco saw Mary [...]

I’m packed and (almost) ready to go. You know the feeling that you get when you are about to embark on something REALLY exciting? That’s how I’m feeling right now. Today I am getting on a train and heading to New York City where I will spend the next three days with Disney/Dreamworks and a [...]

Watching old home movies is one of our Sunday evening past times. My kids love (and I mean LOVE) seeing themselves and their siblings “way back when.” I love it too (boy, does it take me back!!) but I admit that I do NOT love connecting the old camcorder to the TV and then rewinding [...]

Alternatively entitled: “Dancing With the Bloggers” On Saturday, I had the pleasure of attending an evening with Invisalign Teen and Dmitry Chaplin, dancer from Season 2 of So You Think You Can Dance and a professional dancer on Dancing With the Stars. And he can dance… Janine (@janinenickel) of Twofer Mom and Home Office Hustle [...]

Last week, I drove my kids up to my sister’s house for a special playdate. This was no ordinary playdate. This one included colorful necklaces and bracelets (one of which caused a mid-afternoon melt-down that made my niece absent from a bunch of the shots…), lots of music, a sparkly microphone, and two Fijit Friends™ [...]

I feel like I could keep posting daily about our trip to Jellystone Park. In fact, I have dozens of pictures I still haven’t shared. Our 2 nights and 2 1/2 days at the campground were the BEST days of our summer, for sure. We created memories that will not soon be forgotten. Until early [...]
