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…
Happy Thanksgiving – Photostory Friday/GMYBS
I completely forgot that it was Thursday today until I was getting into bed….exhausted after a very full day at Universal Island’s of Adventure. I’m a little worried I won’t be able to keep my eyes open for much longer to write this post. I really need to stop typing before I say something stupid…
Chicken Pot Pie – Perfect Recipe for Thanksgiving Leftovers
Chicken Pot Pie is pure comfort food. It’s also one of the few recipes in my arsenal that every single person in the family cheers for. When I made this last batch of chicken pot pie, my 11 year old son said, “Mom, you do NOT make this often enough. Can you please…
5 Tips for Online Holiday Shopping #ebates
I’ve already seen Christmas lights popping up around the neighborhood, and the stores are covered in holiday decorations. My kids have started writing their Christmas wish-lists….but I haven’t done ANY shopping yet. I’m hoping to avoid stores as much as possible and do the majority of my holiday shopping online. Several years ago, I wouldn’t…
Happy Halloween 2012!
A few days ago I wasn’t sure if my kids would be celebrating Halloween at all this year, with the threat of Hurricane Sandy looming over us.

How to Teach Children Values – Compassion, Kindness, and Generosity #OCCGiving
Teaching children to be kind, compassionate, and generous is neither easy nor quick. Values such as generosity and compassion aren’t learned overnight. Every Sunday I am reminded just how tricky it is to teach children values. My 7 year old son rushes into my classroom, where I teach the 3 year olds at church. After…
Labor Day – The Last Hurrah of Summer
I started out my Labor Day sleeping in (one last end of summer indulgence). That was the good part of the day. Then I got some weird idea that it would be fun to head down to the thrift store with Reese and 5 bags of donation toys and clothes. Labor Day is 50% off…
Happy 4th of July! #WW
While I was in Philadelphia this weekend, I was able to see some of the most incredible fireworks ever (and we had amazing “seats”)! Philly fireworks blew my socks off, and I had a blast snapping pictures for the entire fireworks show. One of my favorite things to do during fireworks displays is leaving the…
5 Tips to Throwing a Great Backyard BBQ Get-Together #SummerwithSears
Nothing says outdoors and grill like the Fourth of July. This week was made for grilling (really, it should be a crime to NOT cook something on the grill on the 4th of July, don’t you think?) and friends and family. I love grilling during the summer months, mostly because I want to do anything…
