If only money grew on trees! And not just so that I could buy adorable shoes and cute handbags. I’m about more than cute things! In fact, when it comes to my kids, I am not even about that life -I believe in living experience rich. That’s not to say I don’t buy my children things -of course I do. But it is to say
Why Your Kids Will Love Hershey Lodge at Hersheypark
This is our last week of school and we are all so ready to get this summer started! In fact, because I am a Hersheypark ambassador and get tons of awesome perks (like season passes and overnight stays) we took off a day last week and went up for a quick visit to the park in Hershey, Pennsylvania! We have been wanting to check out
Jamaica In Photos: Our Adventure at Beaches Negril
If you have been following us on Instagram, you know that Dude 3 and I just got back from a whirlwind trip to Beaches Negril in Jamaica. It. Was. Awesome. Maybe not my most favorite trip of all time, but certainly right up there among things I really am so freaking happy I made sure I did with my kid before I was too old
Beaches Turks and Caicos in Photos
Two days. That’s how long I’ve been home from Beaches Turks and Caicos and back to living my real life. I have a cold. It is currently 37 degrees. I need to turn my heater up. Work is killing me. I needed the refresher that was this adventure. Even if it didn’t go exactly as I envisioned. My shortsighted plan was to spend time on
In the Event of a Zombie Apocalypse or a Really Long Plane Ride
I am in Turks and Caicos. Later, I will check into Beaches Resort. I am hopeful that it is the luxurious location everyone has said it will be as getting here has been quite the, um, experience. Oh, you want to hear about it?! Sure! I have nothing but time as I sit here at a random hotel found by the kind woman manning the
We May Not Be Perfect, But We’re Pretty Okay
We spent four wonderful days in Disney World this past winter. It was the perfect time to go: the weather was pleasant, the crowds were low, and getting a break from the ice storms and heavy snowfall our home state was experiencing made this trip even more magical than expected. We were able to ride our favorite rides many times. We got to try out
Disney Vacation Planning: Making Magic with Tweens & Teens
If you follow me on Instagram (or Facebook or Twitter) you probably know that last week The Dudes and I were in Orlando for a magical Disney vacation. It was slated to be a quick 3 and a half day excursion to the parks to learn about doing Disney right with tweens, but thanks to the Winter That Won’t Die, it turned into a 5
Arguably Awesome: Awesomely Traveling with Kids
We are in Disney World today! My excitement to be at the happiest place on earth, in warm sunny Florida, away from cold, dreary Maryland can only just barely be contained. That being said, getting to a destination with three kids (and no husband, he stayed home this time), is always a certain type of challenge. Even when they’re big. Fortunately we are beyond the
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
