I am heading out of the hotel in just a few minutes for another very packed day of Disney-style fun, but I had to show off a few pictures from my GREEN carpet experience last night (normally, of course, there would be a red carpet leading up to a world premiere of a movie, but…

Summer Salad Recipe: Romaine, Shrimp and Raspberry Salad
I love salads….especially during the summer when produce is so fresh. Today a blogger friend of mine, Olfa from Our Family World offered to share this amazing summer salad recipe with you guys while I’m traveling. What I love about summer is that we have fresh produce that helps us prepare delicious and crunchy salads!…
Help Your Kids Avoid the #SummerSlide
My kids are officially on Summer Vacation, as of last Tuesday. Summer time is both a blessing and a curse. I love letting my body wake up when it wants to. I love spending time at my neighborhood pool and playing games with my kids. I love taking day trips to see my sister in…
Happy Father’s Day 2012!
To all the dads in my life….Happy Father’s Day! I’m being a bad wife and traveling on Father’s Day, leaving my husband home alone with four of our kids (Necco, our 13 year old, just left us to spend the summer at my sister’s house). But he’s man enough to handle it. It’s one of…
Race Across America With SenseAware
Necco loves to ride bikes. In fact, she has been enjoying it so much that she and Dad are working towards a cross country biking trip (with camping included and everything). While what they are working toward is an exciting and worthy endeavor for our family, their biking journey is nothing compared to the route…
First 5K – Father/Son Run – Give Me Your Best Shot #PSF
Twizzler is a natural runner. We noticed his natural speed and love for running a few years ago, but unlike team sports like soccer and football, track seems to be completely absent from the normal sports offerings for young kids. Now that he’s finished with elementary school, he’ll be able to join the track team…
Naming Baby – How Did You Decide?
Naming a new baby is a HUGE responsibility, and one that CandyMan and I didn’t take lightly. Every time we were expecting a baby, we pondered over baby names, including first name and middle name combinations. We looked at name meanings, discussed what the baby’s initials would be, and how their name would go together…
Skype Makes it Easier to Stay Connected
Let’s face it. We’re a connected world. Not only is it easier than ever to stay connected, but we’ve become accustomed to being able to connect to anyone, anywhere, anytime. Skype has become one of my favorite ways to stay connected with my family, friends, and the people I work with. In fact, I often…
Fifth Grade Graduate – Wordless Wednesday #Linky
It’s amazing how fast the time flies. My third baby finished elementary school yesterday, and I now have more “older” kids than younger kids. Twizzler graduated from 5th grade last night with the Presidents Education Award for Outstanding Academic Excellence, Honor Roll Award for 3 consecutive marking periods (actually, more than that), and the School…
Malibu Grand Prix Racer {Drop-out} #YesMemory
I’ve always been a cautious driver. I’ve never had a ticket, and have never been pulled over for speeding. So I guess it shouldn’t surprise anyone that I was not exactly a pro at the Malibu Grand Prix when I was out in San Jose with YesVideo last month. Honestly, I was excited to let…
