Who doesn’t start out the new year by vowing to work out more, weigh less, or improve themselves in some way or another? While intentions may be good, they invariably fall by the wayside. We all need something to get us motivated to keep moving. The folks at TEAS’ TEA had that very thought in […]

It’s just not a holiday until the PEEPS® come out. Those sweet, cute, and incredibly yummy marshmallows themed to every special day from Easter, Valentine’s Day, and Halloween to Thanksgiving and Christmas have been making the world a happier place since 1953. I’ve even seen 4th of July PEEPS® … or perhaps that was just my wishful […]

Waterpark Recap: Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon

In all the years that we’ve made the migration to Walt Disney World (starting before the child was even born), and trekked our way around all of the parks many times over, we’ve never been to any of the water parks. On last summer’s trip to the Sunshine State, we decided to amend this overt […]

Waterpark Recap: Water Country U.S.A.

Deep within the dreary depths and freezing temps of winter, I like to reminisce about the warm and laid-back days of summer. I’m definitely a sun and surf kinda girl, and it’s always nice to look back over summer time pictures taken at the beach and waterparks. I thought I would take this time to […]

Show Your Disney Side with a Vine Video

I don’t often delve into Disney happenings in my columns. Mainly because there are already so many great sites devoted to the Disney parks (I’ve listed some of them at the end of this article). Every once in a while, I might give my opinions on a cool product or one of the resorts … or a restaurant […]

Ocean Spray brings its bog to the 2013 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival

I’ve had a craving for cranberries for as long as I can remember. Always my favorite food at Thanksgiving, it took me a while to figure out that you can buy cranberry sauce year-round (I’m sort of a slow learner), but once I did, I ate the stuff constantly (just ask my roommates). That was […]
