My Secret Santa Came!

Monday, December 26, 2011 by Lolli 4 Comments

Christmas is officially over. The gifts have been wrapped and unwrapped. As a mom, the gifts that I give to my kids and husband are much more exciting to me than the gifts that I get myself (maybe that’s because I’ve either shopped for myself OR have a bunch of boxes of candy under the…

Shout It Out – Laundry Tips! {Giveaway}

Wednesday, December 21, 2011 by Lolli

There is one truth that you can be absolutely 100% sure of in a house of seven: There will always be laundry. Just when you think you’re getting caught up, there’s another basket-full ready to be washed. The laundry in a household with 5 children is literally never-ending. So I know laundry. I also know…

Muddy Buddy Chex Mix Recipe + Sam’s Club Gift Card Giveaway

Monday, December 19, 2011 by Lolli

I love to bake during the holidays, but I admit that candies and cookies take a lot of time and elbow grease to make….and I haven’t had much extra time on my hands this season. This weekend, I spent a few hours at the stove stirring caramel and English toffee, which I love, but boy…

I’ve been talking a lot the last 2 weeks about War Horse – the Red Carpet Premiere (and seeing Steven Spielberg!), the exciting RUN through New York City to get there, the celebrity interviews….and today I am back with an exclusive Dreamworks-blogger-only clip from the movie that you won’t be able to find anywhere else….

Mary Poppins on Broadway – the New Amsterdam Theater

Friday, December 16, 2011 by Lolli 1 Comment

This month marked a first for me (and at my age, it’s hard to come by firsts very often). While I was in New York City with Disney/Dreamworks earlier this month, I was able to see Mary Poppins on Broadway. The performance was everything I could have hoped for and imagined….and more. Necco saw Mary…

It has been nearly two weeks since my trip to New York City and I still haven’t even scratched the surface of the amazing opportunity that it was to be in New York at Christmas with Disney/Dreamworks and a group of talented bloggers. The day after our group attended the world premiere of Steven Spielberg’s…

Georgetown Cupcakes with a Friend – PSF

What do two blogging friends do when they meet for the first time? Photo by Kristi (from her iPhone!) They find a place to eat, of course! And what do those two bloggers do when they order a dozen famously gourmet cupcakes? Well, if they are photographers, they take pictures of those cupcakes for 20…

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Gift Card Weekend for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Who doesn’t like to give and receive gift cards during the holidays? Yeah, I didn’t think I’d get any hands raised. Gift cards are the perfect gift for teachers, friends, family members (especially those…

Friday, December 9, 2011 by Lolli 11 Comments

Hopefully you aren’t tired of hearing about my trip to New York City yet, because I still have so much to share! The other day, I told the story of the adventurous journey to the War Horse Premiere. But I didn’t have a chance to say much about the walk down the red carpet or…

Central Park on Sunday Morning – Photostory Friday

Thursday, December 8, 2011 by Lolli 7 Comments

I had about an hour to myself on Sunday morning in New York City last weekend. The weather was uncommonly clear and mild for December, and I took full advantage. The hour that I spent in Central Park was in extreme contrast to the hustle and bustle and excitement of the rest of the weekend….
