Tuesday, May 22, 2012 by Lolli 11 Comments

chicken cordon bleu recipe

This is an old favorite recipe of mine that underwent a “meal makeover” with the Meal Makeover Moms Janice and Liz, making it not only easy and tasty, but healthy, too! I won a meal makeover consultation a month or two ago, and I had a blast chatting with Janice and Liz on the phone…

Our Recipe for the Perfect Grilled Steak – Just “Cross Your Fingers!”

Monday, May 21, 2012 by Lolli

grilling secret recipe

I asked my husband to share the story of how we learned how to grill the most delicious meats on the block. “It doesn’t take a master chef to grill a good steak.” ~CandyMan   When Lolli and I got married, neither one of us was an amazing chef. I had worked in Richmond’s LeMaire…

Project 365 (Week 20)

Sunday, May 20, 2012 by Lolli 1 Comment

This last week was more exciting than usual at home. My mother in law was here for the week (and to celebrate the birthday she shares with AJ). Nana and I had adventures almost every day, including the adventure of another hernia surgery for Candyman, a trip to the Smithsonian, and the development of caterpillars…

I’m Heading Back to CA for Disney/Pixar’s BRAVE and CARS LAND Opening #BraveCarsLandEvent

Saturday, May 19, 2012 by Lolli 10 Comments

Yes, the title IS quite a mouthful. I simply couldn’t figure out how to pack so much awesomeness into one small line. I don’t know what I’ve done to deserve such an amazing year of travel. Oh! The places I’ve seen! We’re not even halfway through 2012, and already I’ve been to New York City…

Being a Kid for a Day #YesMemory – Give Me Your Best Shot #PSF

Thursday, May 17, 2012 by Lolli 10 Comments

Dave and Buster's YesVide blogger trip

It seems like ages ago that I got back from my trip to San Jose to visit YesVideo’s headquarters, but it really wasn’t that long ago. “Real life” tends to envelop me and make those glorious days of travel seem to be more distant than they really are. I left my memory card with all…

10 Travel Photography Tips

Wednesday, May 16, 2012 by Lolli 9 Comments

It shouldn’t come as a shock to anyone that photography and traveling are two of my favorite things. Since I’ve had a chance to play tourist in my own area, as well as take several trips already this year, I have had plenty of chances to remind myself of my un-written rules about travel photography….

Smithsonian National Zoological Park – #WW

Tuesday, May 15, 2012 by Lolli 21 Comments

National Zoo

A few weeks ago, when my brother and sister in law were in town, we spent a day at the National Zoo in nearby Washington DC. The day was perfect, the animals cooperated, and we had a blast. And there were 9 very tired Franklins at the end of the day. What are your favorite…

I’m a Skype Ambassador

Tuesday, May 15, 2012 by Lolli 9 Comments

Grandparents using skype to talk with Grandchildren

A few years ago, I had no idea how to use Skype or why I would want to learn. My husband swore by it, but as a mother of then very young children, it simply sounded like something that would take more of my non-existent time. How wrong I was! CandyMan was finally able to…
