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 [...]

2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Review

2013 Hyundai Santa Fe LWB

Last August, I was introduced to the new Hyundai Santa Fe Sport in Park City and fell in love driving through the mountains of Utah.

The Henry Ford Museum #WordlessWednesday

ipadVSandroid

One of the greatest things about writing so frequently on my blog is that I can look back on the year and reminisce about all of the best moments. 2012 was full of travel (something I love!), great opportunities, and tremendous growth from my kids. I can’t wait to see what 2013 has in store. [...]

Empire-state-building-1-2

Sometimes I wish that I had made a bucket list when I was younger…but even if I had, I’m pretty sure that meeting celebrities and hanging out on movie sets during filming would not have even occurred to me as something that I could do…or even wanted to do. I never knew how much I [...]

SeaWorld Orlando – #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot

SeaWorld Orlando

When I was in the early planning stages of our trip to Florida at Thanksgiving, I figured that our big theme park experience would be at Disney World. I mean….Orlando IS Disney, right? Strangely, as much as we are Disney fans, my kids had other things in mind. I guess for the teen crowd, Harry [...]
