Back to reality
I was on vacation from my full time job from Christmas Eve until yesterday. I had fun hanging out with my kids, watching them play, staying up late, watching movies and just relaxing. I stayed up really late a couple of times and slept past 6am every day. I let the kids stay up late [...]
Home Is Calling – a request for help and a giveaway
I am a big believer in the importance of home and family. Pillsbury’s new Home Is Calling campaign brings to mind the family and home cooked meals that so many of us look forward to during the holidays. Sadly, not all people are fortunate enough to have these things to look forward to. Pillsbury is [...]
What if this happened to you?
Would you be upset if someone in your family decided to celebrate something and everyone else in the family knew about it but you? I would be, and I am. Earlier this week brother 1 (oldest of the three, all younger than me) invited brother 3 (Navy brother, new Dad, the youngest of the 3) [...]
Destination Hawaii in 2011?
I didn’t make this trip but it looks like I’ll have at least one more shot at seeing Hawaii. My Mom told me today that Disney has acquired property in Hawaii for the purpose of adding Disney Vacation Club units, and that it’s scheduled to open in 2011. She’s planning on being there when it [...]
Libby’s Get Back To The Table and a giveaway
Sometimes we get so busy in our daily lives that we find we’ve spent less quality time with our family members than we would like. Until a couple of years ago there were times that all four of us could not end up in the same room at the same time on any given day. [...]
The circus is coming to your town!
One of my earliest memories of a family outing is a trip that we took to the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey circus. My Mom and Dad took us. I will never forget watching the performers in awe, with my thoughts alternating between “that’s amazing” and “how do they do that”. When I asked [...]
Noodleboro Learning To Listen Pizza Palace Game review
Kids all love to play games. Hasbro has created the Noodleboro game series for children ages 4 and up. Three games are part of this series – the Learning To Listen Pizza Palace game, the Learning To Share Fun Park game and the Learning About Manners Picnic Basket game. Each of these games comes with [...]
Heads Or Tails 49
The theme for this week’s Heads or Tails meme is Doctor. The first thing that comes to mind when I think of the word Doctor is the way my sons play pretend Doctor. When TJ was young, we always thought he was the wackiest pretend Doctor around. When TJ wanted to play doctor we had [...]
Pork pork pork
Do you have anyone in your family that’s not the greatest sport? My hubby is a really sore loser, and my oldest TJ is just like his father. When I saw that Mom Most Traveled asked people to write a story about playing a game I remembered something funny and realized that my hubby and [...]
A NewBaby is born
Moms, there’s a new site created especially with you in mind. It took more than two years to bring NewBaby.com to life. NewBaby is a social media network where mothers can interact with each other through the use of videos and photos. The site is free to join and offers vlogs, blogs and a family [...]
Halloween’s just around the corner
I stopped at the party supply store this past weekend to pick up a couple of things for my son’s 9th birthday party. I was shocked to walk in the door, on the fifth of July, and see an aisle with Halloween costumes. The girl behind the counter told me they were starting to bring [...]

RVs.com for old and new rvs
As I mentioned recently, we have a tiny travel trailer and have been considering getting something larger. My parents recommended we be triple sure that we could see ourselves in whatever we buy ten years down the road. I was in the mood to window shop a little bit today so I hit the internet. [...]
Want a WonderFALL Caribbean vacation?
Recently as a member of MomCentral I received an amazing offer for a deeply discounted vacation at a place we’ve always wanted to see. I was so impressed with the offer that I sat down and told my parents about it. The offer is from Beaches, in the Caribbean. Now before I continue, you’re probably [...]
Training wheels question
CJ is going to be nine in a month. He’s very small for his age, he’s only in size 6 clothes. He got a bike last year, a little two wheeler Thomas The Train bike with training wheels. He whips around on this thing like you wouldn’t believe. He’s gotten really good at riding it. [...]
