This past Saturday, I used some free Amtrak tickets to take my family (yes, all 7 of us!) to New York City for the day. Because we are within 3 hours of the heart of New York City, I consider a trip to New York City a Staycation. I have traveled to New York City…
Child Safety Advice….From a Child
I am getting ready to take all 5 of my kids to New York City for a whirlwind day of sightseeing (yes, I decided that I am well enough to survive a day trip to NYC!). As my husband was prepping the kids for our trip (paying particular attention to the younger kids and safety…
Interview with Paige O’Hara – Belle from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast
Beauty and the Beast’s Belle is one of my favorite Disney princesses of all time. She’s strong, she’s quirky, and she makes it clear that she is not searching for a man in her life. She’s content with her books and her beloved father. When love comes, it comes naturally, starting as a friendship and…
Cannonball! Wordless Wednesday #linky
The kids had the pool to themselves for an hour….there’s nothing better than doing tandem cannonballs in the deep end with your siblings! This phone shot was taken at the pool in Florida on our last day, just hours before we headed home to Maryland. For more inspiring photos, check: 5 Minutes for Mom, High…
Christmas in Florida – Photostory Friday
We just rolled in to Maryland earlier today, and BOY is the temperature difference between here and Florida drastic. In fact, less than an hour after arriving back home, snow started falling. I think we were all ready to turn back around to enjoy a few more days of Florida temperatures and sun. I’ve hardly…

This week at the beach has not only been heavenly. It has been eye opening. Sometimes it takes a vacation and a complete break from work to make needed changes become more blaringly obvious. Here are a few things that my Florida vacation has reminded me about this week: – Eight hours of sleep is…
Photostory Friday From the Beach
Merry Christmas from the warm beaches of Florida! We survived our 16 hour drive (which normally takes us 17 hours…) and have already enjoyed the 80 degree weather and the white sand in our toes. I can already feel myself decompressing. Hosted by Cecily and Lolli To play Give Me Your Best Photo Story Friday,…
Mary Poppins on Broadway – the New Amsterdam Theater
This month marked a first for me (and at my age, it’s hard to come by firsts very often). While I was in New York City with Disney/Dreamworks earlier this month, I was able to see Mary Poppins on Broadway. The performance was everything I could have hoped for and imagined….and more. Necco saw Mary…
Emily Watson Discusses Parenting, Acting, and War Horse
It has been nearly two weeks since my trip to New York City and I still haven’t even scratched the surface of the amazing opportunity that it was to be in New York at Christmas with Disney/Dreamworks and a group of talented bloggers. The day after our group attended the world premiere of Steven Spielberg’s…
War Horse Premiere Re-cap – I Walked the Red Carpet!
Hopefully you aren’t tired of hearing about my trip to New York City yet, because I still have so much to share! The other day, I told the story of the adventurous journey to the War Horse Premiere. But I didn’t have a chance to say much about the walk down the red carpet or…
