I don’t know about you but I love fall and nothing makes celebrating it more fun than fall festivals and pumpkin patches. We’ve been enjoying Maryland pumpkin patches since we moved here in 2001. From farm based Maryland pumpkin patches to Oktoberfest celebrations, you can find countless fall festivals across the state to help you and your family soak up all the fall season has
Family Road Trips: Lewes Beach & Cape Henlopen Beach Delaware Daycation
This post is sponsored by Toyota, all opinions are my own. Family road trips have never been my jam. I know, they’re like the great American pastime and whatever, but when you’re someone who gets motion sickness if you walk too quickly through the tall book shelves at the library (something about all of the books flying by my face), you can imagine what being
Arguably the Best: Parents Share The 10 Best Disney World Resort Hotels
We have traveled to Disney World in Orland, Florida over ten times since Dude 1 was born and we have stayed on property almost every time because the best Disney World Resort hotels are the ones run by Disney themselves. Despite this multitude of experiences with their resorts, if you asked me which of their properties are the best Disney World Resort hotels or which
10 Family Road Trip Games to Help You Survive Hours in the Car
Family road trips are like the quintessential summer vacation if you have kids. They tend to be more affordable, they are often easier to manage (though I find this point debatable), and you can really get a glimpse of our country, opening your children up to things they’ve never experienced before.

**I am a member of the 2017 Sweetest Moms Hersheypark Ambassadors and receive compensation as part of my participation.** Our family has loved Hersheypark for many years.

Hershey Park Rides: Roller Coasters Rating System for Scared People
HersheyPark in Hershey, PA has thirteen roller coasters. THIRTEEN. You guys, I don’t ride roller coasters. Okay, I do. Sort of. But not as a general rule. I go to Disney World once a year (yes, I am here now!) and I ride everything in that place (minus the Tower of Terror because, hello, that is not even a roller coaster, it is an elevator
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
Summer, The Evil Season for Work At Home Moms
A couple of nights ago, our Internet went down for about an hour. It was right at the time that every human being in this house was engaged in some sort of online activity. I was struggling with the TV and before I realized what was causing the issue, four large male creatures came huffing and puffing into my area of the house (the living
