One of the greatest things about writing so frequently on my blog is that I can look back on the year and reminisce about all of the best moments. 2012 was full of travel (something I love!), great opportunities, and tremendous growth from my kids. I can’t wait to see what 2013 has in store….

SeaWorld Orlando – #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
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…
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…
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…
I Have Pre-Vacation Brain – #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
It didn’t really hit me until just a few minutes ago that it was Thursday evening. I mean I knew what day it was….we’ve been doing the countdown to our big Florida trip for weeks and we are finally leaving TOMORROW. This afternoon, we’re in the middle of pre-vacation craziness. The kids are bouncing off…
The Best Restaurant at Disney World – 50’s Prime Time Cafe
I love food. Finding good food is often a huge part of my travel plans and the places we eat can certainly make or break a day’s on vacation. Although my day at Disney World without kids last month was wonderful on its own, the dinner I shared with Caryn from Rockin Mama, Liz from…
10 Reasons To Stay at a Global Resort Home in Orlando
One of my favorite parts of my recent trip to the Orlando/Kissimmee, Florida area was where we stayed. Although we were kept VERY busy all day long, having a comfortable, homey place to return to every night was an unexpected blessing. Two of my house mates and I took advantage of the hot tub each…
A Mom’s Review of the 2012 Honda Odyssey
Talk to me about transmissions and engines and you’ll lose me pretty quickly. When I am shopping for a new car I am looking for a few very specific things: space (does it hold my family of seven?) features (does it have a DVD player? GPS? Bells and whistles?) comfort (how do I feel driving…
