10 Reasons I Wish I Lived Close to Family

Monday, April 30, 2012 by Lolli 9 Comments

Playing with cousins

When we graduated from college and made the trek across the country to settle on the East Coast, we left all of my extended family back in the West. I loved growing up with my grandparents and aunts and uncles and dozens and dozens of cousins. Holiday meals together, vacations in Tahoe together, and plenty…

The Importance of Pictures in Preserving Memory

Monday, April 30, 2012 by Lolli 3 Comments

Mexico Study abroad 1993

After my sophomore year of college, my roommate Susan and I planned a trip to Mexico, just the two of us. I had spent the previous summer on a study abroad in Mexico and I couldn’t wait to return. The summer of 1993 had been full of incredible memories – camping in the jungle, climbing…

Project 365 {Week 17}

Sunday, April 29, 2012 by Lolli 3 Comments

Yesterday Candyman and I celebrated our 17th anniversary…by running around all day. But not with each other. The most time we spent together was 30 minutes or so on a lobby couch while we waited for last night’s short plays to finish (don’t worry, we watched Necco’s play completely). After the plays, we headed out…

Sport Some Color With SAFESKIN + $100 Walmart Giftcard Giveaway

Friday, April 27, 2012 by Lolli 48 Comments

red sports wrap from Safeskin

With me as their mother, it’s not a surprise that my kids are not star athletes. However, they have each tried a few sports – from soccer to football to swim/dive to basketball to track. And they are naturally active like kids should be. Add in a few injuries and pre-dispositions (a broken or a…

10 Reasons To Stay at a Global Resort Home in Orlando

Friday, April 27, 2012 by Lolli 8 Comments

Global Resort Homes Florida

One of my favorite parts of my recent trip to the Orlando/Kissimmee, Florida area was where we stayed. Although we were kept VERY busy all day long, having a comfortable, homey place to return to every night was an unexpected blessing. Two of my house mates and I took advantage of the hot tub each…

Monster Moth – Give Me Your Best Shot #PSF

Thursday, April 26, 2012 by Lolli 17 Comments

Big huge Maryland moth

A little while ago, my kids were playing outside and discovered a moth in our front yard. The kids ran inside to tell me about the moth. Finding insects and little critters outside is pretty common occurance, and nothing to get all excited about, I thought. And then I saw the moth. Yes, THIS moth…

Marvel’s The AVENGERS #Giveaway

Thursday, April 26, 2012 by Lolli 45 Comments

While I am still a little bummed that I couldn’t make the premiere of Marvel’s The Avengers this weekend, I am still so excited for it to come to theaters. I am hearing tons of amazing things about The Avengers, and the previews and trailers have me itching to see it in the theaters as…

What To Expect When You’re Expecting – Closet Full of Carter’s Sweepstakes

Thursday, April 26, 2012 by Lolli 10 Comments

What to Expect Sweeps

When I found out that I was expecting my first daughter WAY back in 1996, I was already packing my bags for a summer internship in Russia with CandyMan. There was no time to visit the doctor or even tell the exciting news to our friends and family. I left for Russia, armed with my…

Barclaycard Ring – The Credit Card That Gets Community

Wednesday, April 25, 2012 by Lolli 1 Comment

Transparency. Community. A place where the customer has a voice. These are factors that are important for me when I am getting to know a new business, whether it’s a restaurant, a house cleaning service, or a bank. Before this week, however, I never expected to find those things – transparency, community, and customers with…

Doctor Who Tardis Easter Egg – Wordless Wednesday

Tuesday, April 24, 2012 by Lolli 18 Comments

Dr. Who Tardis Egg

My almost-13-year-old daughter, Necco, is a huge DOCTOR WHO fan (so is my 15 year old daughter, who by the way, claimed she was going to marry David Tennant until his recent birthday made him older than her dad). Necco is also an artist, and her current craze is turning everything (like her Kindle case…
