My family of seven spends a lot of time together. We eat dinner around the kitchen table every night, everyone shares a bedroom, and we sit together at church every Sunday. We see a lot of each other. And then summer happened. This summer has been different from every other summer I can remember. Instead…
Digital Family Summit 2012 – Meet Me in Philadelphia
I am a digitally savvy mom. Or at least digitally connected. My kids know that, and they watch my social media involvement. My kids are entering that age where they are going to start to become more and more connected soon. I am so excited to announce that I am bringing my family to the…
Happy Father’s Day 2012!
To all the dads in my life….Happy Father’s Day! I’m being a bad wife and traveling on Father’s Day, leaving my husband home alone with four of our kids (Necco, our 13 year old, just left us to spend the summer at my sister’s house). But he’s man enough to handle it. It’s one of…
First 5K – Father/Son Run – Give Me Your Best Shot #PSF
Twizzler is a natural runner. We noticed his natural speed and love for running a few years ago, but unlike team sports like soccer and football, track seems to be completely absent from the normal sports offerings for young kids. Now that he’s finished with elementary school, he’ll be able to join the track team…
Naming Baby – How Did You Decide?
Naming a new baby is a HUGE responsibility, and one that CandyMan and I didn’t take lightly. Every time we were expecting a baby, we pondered over baby names, including first name and middle name combinations. We looked at name meanings, discussed what the baby’s initials would be, and how their name would go together…
Fifth Grade Graduate – Wordless Wednesday #Linky
It’s amazing how fast the time flies. My third baby finished elementary school yesterday, and I now have more “older” kids than younger kids. Twizzler graduated from 5th grade last night with the Presidents Education Award for Outstanding Academic Excellence, Honor Roll Award for 3 consecutive marking periods (actually, more than that), and the School…
A Mom’s Review of the Kia Sorento Midsize SUV
When I get behind the wheel of a car, I’m not thinking about the engine or the transmission (those worries come later for me…when the car is in the shop). When I’m driving, I want a car that is comfortable, easy to maneuver, with features that make my life easier. When Kia dropped off a…
Tips for a Happy Summer Break – Big Family “How Do You Do It?” Series
Do you ever feel like the mom in the picture above, playing a massive game of tug-of-war during the summer just to maintain a sense of sanity with the kids? How often do YOU hear: “Mom! I’m bored!” “What are we going to do today?” “Mom, when are you going to be dooooone?” I adore…
Michelle Obama Speaks at Disney’s Magic of Healthy Living Press Conference
There are a few benefits to living in the Washington DC area, including (but certainly not limited to) exclusive invitations to breakfast press conferences with Disney’s CEO Robert Iger and First Lady Michelle Obama. Yeah, I don’t want to brag too much…but that might have been the best breakfast invitation ever. If you know anything…
Bike Season – Wordless Wednesday #WW
Almost all of my kids (minus KitKat, the oldest) are having a blast on their bikes this week. AJ learned to ride last year, but hasn’t had practice in a while. We were all thrilled that he did so well his first day back for the new season! I even video taped him riding with…
