We watched wolves, fed lorikeets and flew over Europe, all without ever leaving Williamsburg, Virginia. The natural fun of walking, riding thrill rides, enjoying beautiful landscaping and learning about conservation was better than any iPad, Wii or Internet provider could have offered. We weren’t even deterred by a few drops of rain. Along with a […]
Mom Central Survey Says: Tech Time is at the Top of the List When it Comes to Kids
06/17/2013 by
As the recent recipient of my first technological toy, an iPod, I have gotten quite addicted to all of the various apps, games and fun educational downloads. I’ve become an expert Candy Crusher and can find my way around Walt Disney World, Busch Gardens and SeaWorld with the greatest of ease thanks to my handy […]

H2O Plus expands partnership with Walt Disney Parks and Resorts
05/30/2013 by
One of the best things about staying in a hotel (well, besides all of that free ice) is trying out the cute travel-sized bath products. These little pint-sized toiletries are some of my favorite “souvenirs,” especially when they are Disney-inspired. You can’t help but have a happy day when your shampoo is sporting a pair […]
Tea for two, anyone? Win a trip to Australia from TEAS’ TEA
05/28/2013 by
Whether you’re from the north, south, east or wild, wild west, nothing is more refreshing than a tall glass of iced tea on a hot summer day. Pull out the camera or iPhone and snap a shot of yourself enjoying that tea and you just might be on your way to the land down under. […]

05/28/2013 by
Theme parks provide thrilling rides and fun times for the whole family. They also offer some fun extras such as concerts and shows. Most parks put on a music festival or two throughout the season. I’ll be updating this page as I hear of new festivals and events, so check back often. Rock the Universe […]
Wear sunscreen and become the ‘ultimate fun family’ with Banana Boat and Great Wolf Lodge
05/22/2013 by
As a fun-in-the-sun aficionado, I am a strong proponent of the use of sunscreen. And lots of it. My child doesn’t leave the house or head to the beach without being slathered or sprayed with a pound of sunscreen. Since summer is a the time that many families join together to have fun and make […]
SeaWorld designs new cup with the concept of reducing, reusing and recycling
05/15/2013 by
I have more theme park-branded mugs, bottles and tumblers than any one person really needs. If it is in cup form and I can refill it for .99, or free (free is always good), I will be the first one to pull out my wallet. For anybody as addicted to the concept of the refillable […]
‘Blog Every Day in May’ day 9: A Moment in my Day
05/09/2013 by
I am back for day nine (well, technically it’s day two for me, but I’m not into technicalities so ignore that). Today’s topic is “a moment in my day.” Since “a moment” is a pretty relative term, I’m going to share a really cute flowering plant I found for Mother’s Day. This will be the […]
‘Blog Every Day in May’ day 8: My Advice
05/08/2013 by
Okay, so I am new to the “Blog Every Day in May” sensation started by Jenni at Story of My Life. I am trying to be more consistent with writing posts, but sometimes I’m lucky if I get in one post a week. That being said, I am going to try this challenge and hope […]
RVA Dessert Diary: Part 1
05/08/2013 by
While not on the mainstream foodie front as such cities as San Francisco, NYC or L.A., Richmond has a restaurant scene all its own. From elegant settings in refurbished tobacco warehouses to the casual coziness of exposed brick and beams to the tried and true, hole-in-the-wall eateries that only the locals know about, there is a […]
