I recently received my very first VoxBox from Influenster. I don’t often get pretty purple boxes full of complimentary products in the mail, so let’s just say I was a bit excited. There may or may not have been dancing involved. Here is a quick little pic (of the VoxBox, not the dancing) … If […]

Share Our Strength Culinary Events: Taste of the Nation, Dine Out, and the NYC Food and Wine Festival
02/08/2015 by
Usually my research leads me to the latest travel trends, the best beaches or the newest theme park rides (that is, when it isn’t sending me off to cute puppy pictures and amazing online shopping opportunities). Sometimes, though, it takes me down an entirely different path. It all began with Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville (which probably […]
Disney Cruise Line: ‘Frozen’ Characters take to the Sea
01/24/2015 by
Wanna build a snowwwwmannn … in the sand? Olaf’s sun-loving attitude and wonderlust for warm is a perfect representation of my own attitude toward winter. Yeah, it’s pretty, but I’d rather be where it’s warm. Now, Disney Cruise Line has figured out how to combine the best of frozen family fun with a summer adventure. […]
‘Downton Abbey’ Wines and Teas: Bring a bit of Britain to your Viewing Party
01/22/2015 by
Plum pudding, tea, and hot cross buns … it’s time for a “Downton Abbey” party. I, personally, have not gotten around to catching the Downton fever that so many across the country have contracted. I am, however, intrigued by the post-Edwardian era of the show, and I love the idea of spending an hour or […]

12/05/2014 by
As a parent, I’m thankful that I don’t have to worry about food allergies – or any other type of allergy, for that matter.

Many theme parks have implemented special menus and created alternate choices […]

Loews Sapphire Falls Resort to open at Universal Orlando in 2016
11/03/2014 by
The Caribbean is coming to Orlando. Universal Orlando, to be exact. I love a good theme, and if I can’t be in the actual Caribbean, staying somewhere that looks like the Caribbean is the next best thing. Being so close to the magic of Universal’s theme parks (which includes Harry Potter, Diagon Alley and Hogwarts) […]
