I found the perfect gingerbread kit for my family this year – instead of one big gingerbread house, the kit included FIVE mini houses…one for each one of my kids. They loved having their own little houses to decorate (and I loved not having to listen to the kids fight over who got to do…

Muddy Buddy Chex Mix Recipe + Sam’s Club Gift Card Giveaway
I love to bake during the holidays, but I admit that candies and cookies take a lot of time and elbow grease to make….and I haven’t had much extra time on my hands this season. This weekend, I spent a few hours at the stove stirring caramel and English toffee, which I love, but boy…
Exclusive WAR HORSE Clip!
I’ve been talking a lot the last 2 weeks about War Horse – the Red Carpet Premiere (and seeing Steven Spielberg!), the exciting RUN through New York City to get there, the celebrity interviews….and today I am back with an exclusive Dreamworks-blogger-only clip from the movie that you won’t be able to find anywhere else….
Something To Be Thankful For
Yesterday, sitting pool-side at my oldest daughter’s swim meet, I found my missing Thanksgiving photos, which I assumed had been deleted off my memory card the day after Thanksgiving. The photos were nothing spectacular, but I was over-joyed to find them. Their discovery was something to be thankful for, for sure. PS – yes, I…
Mary Poppins on Broadway – the New Amsterdam Theater
This month marked a first for me (and at my age, it’s hard to come by firsts very often). While I was in New York City with Disney/Dreamworks earlier this month, I was able to see Mary Poppins on Broadway. The performance was everything I could have hoped for and imagined….and more. Necco saw Mary…
Emily Watson Discusses Parenting, Acting, and War Horse
It has been nearly two weeks since my trip to New York City and I still haven’t even scratched the surface of the amazing opportunity that it was to be in New York at Christmas with Disney/Dreamworks and a group of talented bloggers. The day after our group attended the world premiere of Steven Spielberg’s…
Who’s Your Santa? #jcpSecretSanta
I’m not a big fan of surprises….for myself. But I love being part of a surprise for someone else. I was so excited to find out that I was chosen to participate in a blogger Secret Santa program with JCPenney. Yes, I admit that I LOVE shopping for other people. It’s one of my favorite…
Georgetown Cupcakes with a Friend – PSF
What do two blogging friends do when they meet for the first time? Photo by Kristi (from her iPhone!) They find a place to eat, of course! And what do those two bloggers do when they order a dozen famously gourmet cupcakes? Well, if they are photographers, they take pictures of those cupcakes for 20…
Win a $25 Applebee’s Gift Card
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Gift Card Weekend for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Who doesn’t like to give and receive gift cards during the holidays? Yeah, I didn’t think I’d get any hands raised. Gift cards are the perfect gift for teachers, friends, family members (especially those…
The Swim Meet – Wordless Wednesday
We’re done with soccer for now and on to SWIM TEAM. KitKat’s first official high school swim meet was this weekend. The meet started at 9:30, and she told me not to get there until 9:45. Of course, she swam both of her events in the first 10 minutes…. So I took pictures of her…
