After months (that felt like YEARS) of cold, dreary weather, the sunshine and warm temps are here! Mother Nature seems to have gotten things a bit confused, as we appear to have gone directly from winter to summer, but hey, I’ll take it! So, now begins the tedious task of planning out summer trips and activities that will […]
A Day at The Crayola Experience!
My children have a very enthusiastic crush on The Crayola Experience, so when we were recently given tickets to visit in exchange for this honest post review, there was a lot of squeeing that went down in this house. Wa-hoo! They love going there, I love taking them, and it’s pretty easy to see why. Why is […]
First Time Fun at Dorney Park
As families go, we’re sold-out amusement park aficianados in general, but Dorney Park holds a very special place in our hearts.

Packing for a Ninja Convention
I am unarguably the worst packer in the world. Seriously, I win the title. When it comes to planning a trip, I rock. I can nail an agenda and a to-stash-in-carry-on list like a boss.

First Time Visiting Disney World? You CAN Do This!
You might want to sit down for this announcement, friends: we have never been to Disney World.* I know, I know. Seems shockingly impossible. My poor culturally-deprived children will be accepting any and all sympathy cards and extra Halloween candy as condolences–but only for the next few months because here’s the bigger announcement: we are going […]
99 Days of Summer Said 99 Ways
From Memorial Day to Labor Day there are 99 days. 99 days of summer, to put it simply. Yet check in with any parent who’s been there, and they’ll tell you. These 99 days are our stage–our stage to shine, to crash, and to fall into endless heaps of exhaustion at the end of long days. […]

Find Your Way to Across the Way
I have endless memories of my mother, a natural-born shopper, delighting in browsing the shops at Cape May, NJ on our vacations. Much to my husband’s chagrin, I’ve inherited her shopping gene. That’s cool; he can go ahead and roll his eyes in the corner, I’m too thrilled with my hunting for special treasures to notice his silliness. […]
