I instantly felt a connection with these three beautiful sisters – Sierra (18), Lauryn (15), and China (13) McClain – better known as the McClain Sisters. There was something about their interaction with one another that endeared them to me and let me know right off the bat that they would fit in with my…
Wild Africa Trek at Disney’s Animal Kingdom – Give Me Your Best Shot #PSF
How do I adequately describe the experience of being taken behind the scenes at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, being led on a three-hour private safari where I was close enough to reach out an touch animals (don’t worry – I didn’t), and enjoying African-inspired delicacies on the savanna? I truly felt transported to another world. I…
Invisalign Teen – A Teenager’s Story
It’s hard to believe that KitKat is approaching the end of her Invisalign treatment. It feels like yesterday that I was writing about KitKat’s smile and her need for braces. I never would have guessed (though I did hope) that because of my article, my daughter would be chosen for a full Invisalign “scholarship.” From…
Disneynature Directors Discuss the Magic of Chimpanzee
Truth really is stranger than fiction. There is simply no way that Disney could have planned for something as dramatic and unexpected as the adoption of a young, orphaned chimpanzee by such an unlikely male chimp. When we interviewed Dr. Jane Goodall after viewing Chimpanzee, she mentioned that during 52 years of intense observations, she…
Meeting a Living Legend – Interview With Dr. Jane Goodall
Last week, I had an incredible opportunity. I was able to sit with Dr. Jane Goodall, who has spent a lifetime studying chimpanzees and paving the way for better treatment of animals. Dr. Goodall met with our group of 20 bloggers right after we saw the premiere of Disneynature’s Chimpanzee (she was at the premiere…
Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival – Wordless Wednesday
I had intended to leave my camera home for my Saturday at Disney World, but my friend Carrie convinced me that I would appreciate having a camera with me at Epcot. So I begrudgingly packed my heavy camera bag for the day. I am SO glad I listened to Carrie. She knew what she was…
Disneynature’s Chimpanzee Movie Review and Red Carpet Premiere
I just returned from a 6 day whirlwind trip in Florida for the red carpet premiere of Disneynature’s Chimpanzee. If you’ve been following my twitter or Facebook pages, you’ve probably seen my frequent photo glimpses into all the fun our little group had, but there is so much more that I’ve been dying to tell…
When It’s Not Worth “Going Cheap” – #CloroxLounge
In a house full of seven people, I have to buy a ton of things in bulk. That little tidbit shouldn’t surprise you at all considering the name of this site…. Not only do I try to shop frugally and smart, but I have an open conversation with my kids about how they can tell…
When Mom’s Away…Beware of the Wild Onions
I am heading home today, looking forward to seeing my family again in a few hours. I was surprised on Sunday when Candyman sent me a blog post….the third he’s written on the blog since I started blogging in 2007. I’m guessing that he will be just as happy (or happier) to have me back…
Photo 365 {Week 15} – Kissimmee Edition
I know I won’t get any sympathy….but I am so exhausted. I am not used to so much excitement and so many hours of being up and moving every day. It has been an incredible week, but I can’t wait to get back into my own bed. What have you been up to this week?
