When I was in the early planning stages of our trip to Florida at Thanksgiving, I figured that our big theme park experience would be at Disney World. I mean….Orlando IS Disney, right? Strangely, as much as we are Disney fans, my kids had other things in mind. I guess for the teen crowd, Harry…
Where to Get the Best Orlando Theme Park Tickets – Kissimmee Guest Services
As our family of 12 planned our recent trip to Florida, there was a lot of discussion about where to get the best theme park tickets. As magical as Disney World, Universal Orlando, and SeaWorld are, deciding when to go, how many days to spend at each park, and where to purchase tickets was not…
Become a Minion – The New Despicable Me Ride at Universal Studios #WW
My almost-16-year-old is a huge Despicable Me fan, and so she was particularly excited to ride the new Despicable Me ride at Universal Studios. The ride was awesome, but we had nearly as much fun in the line, taking pictures at each poster along the way…. Linked up to Wordful Wednesday, Wordish Wednesday, and Wordless…
Global Resort Homes – The Perfect Vacation Spot
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)….
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…
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…
