This past year I’ve had the chance to take some pretty incredible trips. I’ve traveled from coast to coast, seen movies before they’ve come out in theaters, met famous people, and stayed in fancy hotels. Glamorous, sometimes, exciting, always. But never with my family. A much as I love traveling on my own, I do […]
While we were in upstate New York last week, we found a cozy little park where we stopped, ate lunch, and played on the old-time playground equipment. While the slide and see saws and merry-go-round wouldn’t stand a chance in Montgomery County, Maryland, where I am right now, they sure brought me back to my […]
Last Tuesday, my family of seven pulled up to the Days Inn in Geneva, New York. The temperature outside was a blazing 100+ and we were tired from 8 hours of driving in a car packed full with people. I was sitting in the back seat, in between my two youngest, to maintain the […]
Our family vacation to Upstate New York! This past week marked the 75th anniversary of the Hill Cumorah Pageant, and we were there! The Pageant is performed for 7 days each July on an enormous 10 level stage set on a hill, with twelve-tower lighting, state-of-the-art sound system, Hollywood special effects, and a costumed cast […]
Months ago, with BlogHer well in the distance, and no money in my account to purchase an early bird ticket, I took a gamble. I applied to be a volunteer and figured that I’d go only if I was chosen as a volunteer and got the free ticket. As luck would have it, I was […]
Yes, it has been beyond hot in Maryland, with record highs (ok, I actually don’t know that for sure, but it surely FEELS like we’ve had record highs). But this Wordless Wednesday photo was taken in Philadelphia at the Digital Family Summit a week and a half ago when I was touring the hotel’s amazing […]
When I took my first stroll down Buena Vista Street, I saw a nostalgic city street. I saw signs of Disney and a time long gone. I noticed quaint little stores, ice cream shops, and an old-time trolley. But, I hate to admit it, I was focused on making it into Disney California Adventure and […]
Taking a walk down Radiator Springs during the day was fascinating. I loved the rides, the music, and the general feel of Disneyland’s newest addition. But strolling down Route 66 at night knocked my socks off! Here are my top three reasons to stop by Cars Land at Disney’s California Adventure Park after the sun […]
Ever since I was a little kid, covering my ears to avoid the BOOMS of fireworks, I have loved the Fourth of July (yes, I’ve always loved fireworks despite my sensitive ears). July 4th meant swimming, parks, BBQs, family and friends, and a magnificent fireworks show. I’ve seen Independence Day celebrations in 5 states and […]
During my 2 days at Disneyland last week, I was able to see the incredible (and I mean incredible!!) World of Color water and light show at Disney’s California Adventure Park. World of Color is part water show/part laser light show. Add in some Disney music and magic and a little bit of story telling…and […]
