I absolutely love our neighborhood. It’s quiet, safe, tree-lined, with wonderful neighbors and dozens of kids for my daughters to play with. It has a close-knit community feel, but the yards are spacious and private. My girls leave their toys out in the yard and ride their bikes through the streets, carefree. We have a [...]
What ‘true kid’ moment will you never forget? [giveaway]
September 27, 2012 · by ·
Every couple of years, I interview my daughters, just for fun. I ask them random questions, hoping that this will get them thinking about their life at the moment, and will also be a wonderful thing to look back on years from now. You really never know what kids will say… they have an uncanny [...]
Dip, Dip, Hooray! A fun family game night
September 10, 2012 · by · 2 Comments
I find that my kids are much more likely to eat their dinner when they have a hand in making it! And if it’s something fun to eat, even better. Heinz, Tyson & Ore-Ida challenged me to make a creative meal with their products, and that’s exactly what we did. My girls will eat practically [...]
Pinch me! I’m dreaming!

That’s just about how I felt all weekend long. I’ve been to Walt Disney World three times in the last three years, and the third time was definitely the charm. The best trip yet! This photo kind of sums it all up… _________________________________________ As always, one of the highlights of the trip were all the [...]

May 1, 2012 · by · 2 Comments
Last Thursday morning, I woke my girls up ridiculously early, instructed them to get out of bed and get dressed. Then, a few minutes later, over Cheerios at the kitchen table, I told them something I’d known for several months – that we were going to Walt Disney World. I pulled out their new (and [...]
Counting down to Disney

We’re going to Disney! Again. I don’t know how it happened, but for the third year in a row, I’m taking my family to the Social Media Moms Celebration at Walt Disney World. As much as I want to, I haven’t told the girls yet. If I tell them too early, they bug me every.single.day. [...]
Wordless Wednesday: Dollhouse
September 21, 2011 · by ·
To say this dollhouse is huge is an understatement. It took my sister and I hours to put together, but was all worth it as soon as Maya saw it. She was thrilled! It’s big enough for several of her friends to play with her. Maura gets it all to herself while Maya’s at school!
East Coast Earthquake

I was sitting on my computer at my dining room table this afternoon, when I felt a rumble. I stood up and looked through the front window, seeing a guy on a ride-on lawn mower in the yard across the street. It sure was loud, but could I really feel that way over here? Then [...]
Wordless Wednesday: Off to college

My little brother (center) went off to college today. I wish I could go back home – if only for a second – to give my mom a big hug.
Wordless Wednesday: Chocolate Face

I ordered Maura chocolate mousse, convincing her it was a special type of ice cream. I foolishly thought it would be less messy. Ha!
