My favorite Super Bowl ad is always the one where some revered player says “I’m going to Disney World! (or Land as the case may be). The folks at Disney sure know what they’re doing because that is always the time of year that I most want to be in a Disney park or resort. […]
Five ‘Fs’ for Fitness
02/06/2014 by
Reebok’s motto (according to the little hang tag thingy on my most recent purchase) says “Find your own fitness.” I like that. Whether we’re into fitness for the fun of it, for health reasons, or for the competitive spirit, and regardless of whether we’re running, bicycling, jogging, walking, or swimming, we are up and moving. […]

01/07/2014 by
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 […]
PEEPS Dessert Recipes from Great Wolf Lodge

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
12/11/2013 by
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 […]

11/28/2013 by
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
10/21/2013 by
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 […]
