One of my favorite beach states is North Carolina. I spend as much of my summer (and sometimes fall) as possible on the sandy shores of the Outer Banks. Between the surf, sound, sun, lighthouses and other natural elements, I never fail to fill up my camera’s SD card. The North Carolina Division of Tourism […]

Travel Tips: Pack light with the Travel Lux Microfiber Towel by SolEscapes
07/09/2013 by
As much as I love beach and resort getaways, I don’t relish packing bulky towels and other water-related necessities. Yes, hotels usually provide pool towels, but they don’t generally allow guests to take those towels to the beach. If you know of anybody that does, please let me know. I recently read about the Travel […]

If you haven’t heard by now, there is big news coming out of Universal Studios Orlando. And its initials are not H.P. this time.

Cedar Fair and Panama Jack extend partnership

Sunscreen is one of the biggest necessities of summer. I don’t step foot onto the beach or into the water park without spraying myself, and everybody around me, with a pound of sunscreen. I go through a ton of the stuff every summer. The cost far outweighs the risks of sunburn or worse. Whether it’s […]
Busch Gardens: Mom and Me Meet-Up with Mom Central founder Stacy DeBroff
06/19/2013 by
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 […]

H2O Plus expands partnership with Walt Disney Parks and Resorts

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 […]

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 […]
