Early in our marriage, my husband and I discovered that we had very different vacation expectations. Luckily, after almost 18 years together we’ve been able to adjust, compromise, and enjoy vacations together, but it wasn’t easy. When he’s on vacation, CandyMan likes to be busy all the time (that’s how he is at home, too)….
The Happiness Project – Join Me?
I love the holidays…I really do. But sometimes the end of the year brings a few stresses that I’d rather not have to deal with. And then there’s the pressure of New Year’s Resolutions starting in January (which really just cause added pressure – don’t you think?). The fact is, there’s no better time to…
Snickerdoodles Recipe – A Little Bit of Cookie Heaven
I came home from a photo shoot on Saturday night to find my 13 year old baking in the kitchen. I was both thrilled and proud….thrilled that she had decided to make a batch of Snickerdoodles and proud because they were both gorgeous AND delicious. I was extra proud that she experimented a little with…
Boggy Creek Airboat Rides in Kissimmee, Florida #PSF
Kissimmee, Florida, trip: Day 2 You’d never know that any of my kids were nervous and hesitant about taking their first airboat ride. Last Monday I had my second experience at Boggy Creek Airboat Rides, but this was the first time any of my kids had been on an airboat ride. And we all had…
2012 Osceola Fall Art Festival in Kissimmee
Kissimmee Trip, Day 1 We arrived in Kissimmee last Saturday afternoon, after a long 14 hour drive through the night. Sunday started early with a visit to church, and then back to the Global Resort home that we were staying in for a restful afternoon. I knew that once Monday began, things would get hectic…
Downtown Disney – Wordless Wednesday #VisitKiss
Surprisingly, last week’s trip to Kissimmee did NOT include a visit to Disney World (I’m still just a little sad about that…) but I did manage to drag the family out to Downtown Disney. Unfortunately, our night out on the town was cut short by some cold rain, but we still had fun. You may…
Remembering and Creating #HolidayMemories – #YesMemory Twitter Party Tonight!
I have many fond memories of holiday seasons form my childhood, though most holidays are blurred into one collective memory of late nights at Grandma’s house with cousins, music, and an abundance of good food. This is my mom’s family Christmas card, circa 1959. I love it! I remember sitting around the piano singing…
Tips for Effective Study Time
This post on effective study time habits is sponsored by Tyson® Any’tizers® Snacks, but all thoughts and opinions are my own. Progress reports for the first marking period were sent home a little over a week ago. The reports were full of A’s and B’s, O’s and S’s, and lots of +’s. I’m very…
Conquering Cold and Flu Season With Kleenex #ShareTheSoft
Cold and Flu Season is here once again, and although (knock on wood) we’re not sick at the moment, I know better than to think that we’re safe for very long. With 5 kids in public school, I know that the sniffles…and the coughs….and the sore throats are right around the corner. It’s inevitable. As…
Oh, the Memories We Made in Kissimmee! #YesMemory
Home again! Home Again! I don’t know if I’m quite ready for a jiggety-jig….but I’m happy to be back in my own bed! Our week in Kissimmee has finally come to a close, and I’m ready to buckle down and get back to work in the morning. Although I am always sad to see a…
