I do NOT do roller coasters. That surge of adrenaline that comes from moving faster than your human body should be capable of, and feeling like you could possibly die at any point has never really done it for me. I mean, sure, it does things to me. Just not anything I like. Or anything the people around me really appreciate. Mostly crazy things that
It’s National Vacation Rental Month: Where Are You Going? #sponsored
Disclosure: This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Wyndham Vacation Rentals. I asked The Dudes the other day which of our major family vacations so far has been their favorite. Dude 2: “Wait, when have we even been on vacation?” Ummmm, about $6000 says we went to Disney World last fall, so at least then. I guess waiting until they were
Wordful Wednesday. Austin Texas Wedding.
Weddings are this weird thing. They’re super fun and really stressful all at the same time. Everyone there is crying, while also being crazy happy. The guests arrive dressed in their best clothing, and before the nights out many of them are barefoot and twerking on the dance floor. Awesome. Kinda like Austin Texas. I’ll admit, I never thought I’d see the day when I
Wordful Wednesday. Insta Disney Photos.
We are on our way back from the happiest place on Earth. Or we are back probably. Or, something. My mind is blown from trying to cram as much magic as humanely possible into the past five days of life. It pretty much happened. Everything was going swell until the last day; #3 got sick (did you know the Magic Kingdom has a first aid
Wordful Wednesday. Toronto with Kids.
I got to experience Toronto with kids (okay, KID, since I only took the one) this month. I learned a lot. 11 Things You May or May Not Know About Toronto, International Travel, Canadians, and My 5 Year Old 1. Toronto is like barely even in Canada. It’s super close to the US border. Quebec and Montreal, the only other Canadian cities, aside from Vancouver,
Wordful Wednesday. Everything You Need to Know About NASCAR.
I have been traveling since mid September. I can’t even begin to tell you how filthy my house is right now happy I am to be home. I’m excited to get back on a regular schedule, wean The Dudes off of the TV time they got to have while I was away, and avoid anything having to do with housework. Things have definitely gotten all
Wordful Wednesday. So This? Is Glamping.
If there’s one thing I expect you guys to know about me it’s that I love me some cupcakes don’t camp. At least not by choice. It’s too hot. Or, it’s too cold. And there are snakes. And bugs. And bathrooms that make me immediately think STD. Or homicide. Or both. And, nope, I can’t just go in the woods. Because me in the woods,
Wordful Wednesday. Swimming with Dolphins.
One of the most exciting parts of my recent trip to Miami was my whole swimming with dolphins thing. Because, really, how often does a mom of 3 in the Western Maryland suburbs have time to see some dolphins up close and personal, never mind swim with them?! I know a lot of people have beef with animals being in captivity and junk, but honestly,
Dumb Mom’s Guide to Miami, Florida with Kids.
If you follow me on Instagram (@dumbmom if you want to be down), you probably already know that I spent last week living la vida loca in Miami. Beautiful city. Tons of stuff to do. But, not nearly as Miami Vice-y as I expected. I only saw like two guys shirtless in white suits and with matching loafers and this guy… to even substantiate that
