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 […]

Putting the Pedal to the Metal
05/06/2013 by
I rarely make New Year’s resolutions (due to the fact that I rarely keep New Year’s resolutions), but this year I decided to go ahead and do it. In addition to the “exercise more and eat less” ones, I made a concrete one that I actually stand a chance of completing. It also puts me closer […]
Luck, LeSportsac and the Artistic Flair of Mary Blair
05/02/2013 by
Recently, I entered one of those Facebook giveaways. You know the drill, you comment, like or share in order to get a chance at some sort of a prize. I do this stuff all the time (sorry FB feed friends). Well, this time I actually won. No, I don’t know how many others entered. I […]
Have a Blast with Snoopy and friends at Kings Dominion’s Planet Snoopy
04/29/2013 by
Not since the days of Hanna-Barbera has Kings Dominion seen such a colorful collection of characters and family-sized fun. The multi-million dollar expansion known as Planet Snoopy covers almost 14-acres and is the largest PEANUTS™-themed children’s area in the world. With a total of 18 rides, some re-themed from the former line-up and some completely new to the […]
Spread the Good: Voluntourism with Universal Orlando and Give Kids the World
04/23/2013 by
One of the many benefits of my job as a writer is that I get to share news, events and attractions with others. A lot of the activities and events are things that I actually do myself, but an equal amount involves just getting the word out about good things that are going on, whether […]
Hoofprints in the Sand
01/23/2013 by
I’ve always been a horse girl. Posters, figurines and Black Beauty books surrounded me as a child, preteen and beyond. While I don’t decorate my walls and shelves with equine icons anymore, I do still have an affinity for a soft mane and a friendly whinny. When I can combine my love of horses with […]
Happy Wholidays from Universal’s Islands of Adventure
12/24/2012 by
Seuss Landing is easily the most festively decorated spot in all of the Universe (Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure in Orlando, Florida, that is). Sure, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter is always snow-covered and stocked with snowmen and steam engines, but all of the greenery and red-trimmed wreaths just add a special sparkle […]
Very Vintage, Virginia: Christmas Town at Busch Gardens Williamsburg
12/09/2012 by
Miles of twisty, crinkly sparkly garland, vintage Coca-Cola signs, retro reindeer and more blow molds than you can shake a candlestick at, Christmas Town has gone retro with the all new Holiday Hills area. If you’ve ever wanted to step back in time, Busch Gardens Williamsburg is the place to do it. The Festa Italia […]
