As part of my Sweetest Moms Ambassadorship this year, my girls and I were invited to spend Saturday (which happened to be my birthday!) at Hersheypark for the opening weekend of Hersheypark in the Dark – Hersheypark’s annual Halloween celebration. Although we were given tickets, we covered all travel expenses and food ourselves. All thoughts…
The Chocolate Lab at The Hershey Story
My family visited the Chocolate Lab while we were visiting Hershey, Pennsylvania as part of my Sweetest Moms ambassadorship. Although our overnight accommodations at Hershey Lodge and Hersheypark tickets were compensated, we payed for the Chocolate Lab experience on our own, because it was something we wanted to do. We loved the Chocolate Lab and…
7 Tips to Make The Most of Your Day at Hersheypark #HersheyparkHappy
The kids and I spent Memorial Weekend Saturday at Hersheypark and had SO. MUCH. FUN! Definitely a #HersheyparkHappy day! We were invited to attend a media dinner and family day as part of my Hersheypark Sweetest Moms ambassadorship.

ZooAmerica at Hersheypark
For years, my sister and her family lived right across the street from ZooAmerica (we could see – and smell some of the animals from her front door). And yet, before this month, I had never spent much time ZooAmerica. What a missed opportunity with my kids! Now that I’ve been introduced to the zoo,…
Christmas in Hershey: The Sweetest Place on Earth
I was honored to be invited to Hershey, Pennsylvania, this past weekend to experience Christmas Candylane – the incredible holiday celebration at Hersheypark – and all of the holiday festivities happening in town. My accommodations and activities in Hershey were covered but all thoughts and opinions (and excitement) are my own. Information and photos that…
Flinchbaugh’s Orchard & Farm Market Farm to Plate Tour
How often do you get to see what real farming looks like? For a girl from the suburbs like me, that’s not too often. I love when blogging affords me the opportunity to have meaningful, teachable moments with my kids…and our visit to Flinchbaugh’s Orchard and Farm was a wonderful opportunity for all of us….
Day Trip to Gettysburg #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
This past Saturday, the kids and I got together with some old friends (two families that we share lots and lots of memories with) and spent a very cold March day in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. We spent a lot of our time looking through the amazing new museum and even more time in our car,…
Flight 93 National Memorial, Stoystown Pennsylvania #WW
The very first stop of our 3000+ mile family road trip was the Flight 93 National Memorial in Southwest Pennsylvania. Things to know before you visit: There is a limited restroom facility (basically, a permanent outhouse) but no water or food. Bring your own water if you’ll need it during your visit. The Memorial…
Duck Pond with the Cousins #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
After iRetreat ended on Tuesday, my sister and I had fun with all the kids in Hershey. We visited a nearby duck pond and stream and let the kids loose to explore. We had a hard time convincing everyone that it was time to leave…but we DID have to feed them dinner eventually. Every…
Butterfly Garden #WW
After 2 fun days at iRetreat 2014 at Hershey (where I-can’t-believe-I-call-myself-a-photographer forgot to take a single picture!!) my Hershey-local sister and all of the kids ran up to Hershey Gardens for a quick run through the butterfly gardens. I had my Samsung NX300 with me (side note: I am becoming more and more hooked…
