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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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…
A Mom’s Review of the 2012 Honda Odyssey
Talk to me about transmissions and engines and you’ll lose me pretty quickly. When I am shopping for a new car I am looking for a few very specific things: space (does it hold my family of seven?) features (does it have a DVD player? GPS? Bells and whistles?) comfort (how do I feel driving…
The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie #Recipe
Last night, after a nice and easy dinner with my brother and sister in law, everyone turned to dessert. I didn’t move fast enough, and missed getting some ice cream, but secretly I wasn’t too disappointed. What I really wanted was a few warm chocolate chip cookies. Lucky for me, my 12 year old stepped…
