Party Ideas :: Balloons Make Any Party That Much More Fun!
Balloons can make any type of party that much more fun and colorful! I think I love balloons as much as I love polka dots – both remind me of childhood and just bring a smile to my face. There are a ton of ideas on how to incorporate balloons into a birthday party, baby shower, or even surprise someone special with a box of balloons on their doorstep. I might be an adult now (and forever 28 years old) but I still love love balloons and would be totally thrilled to either get or give a box of balloons! At my daughter’s birthday parties they always play a part…

Get Away Today Offers Affordable Disneyland Family Travel
Disney On the Brain: This past month has been a whirlwind of all things Disney! My family and I spent four days and three nights at the Disneyland Resort for the Disney Social Media Moms conference where I developed a newfound love for anything Disney. Disneyland really is a top notch family destination and the customer service is just wonderful! We stayed at the Disneyland Resort and I was so impressed with the quality of the food and our room. One of our favorite things in the room (besides the Mickey Mouse lights) was the backboard – when you flip a switch, the board lights up like there is a fireworks…

It really was a dream trip for my whole family and I plan to write more about the trip and how I have a newfound love for anything to do with Walt Disney.

Instagram Inspiration: Making Memories
Growing up in Southern California in the 1970’s and 80’s was a great time to be a kid! We would spend hours at our pool and had many family trips to the beach. It has been great incorporating these same activities we did as kids into our family outings. My husband and daughter have been hitting the beach early in the am for years (and letting tired mom sleep in). He has been secretly wishing she would take to surfing because he has wanted to teach her how to surf since she was a baby. I think he wants a surfing buddy so he has an excuse to hit the beach…

Inexpensive Ways to Update Yourself and Home for Spring
Spring, ahhh… a fresh start. There is a lighter mood to Spring. We trade in our heavy sweaters for a lighter jacket, our boots for perhaps a sandal. Even the smallest of change can make you feel good and it doesn’t have to break the bank. A little something to celebrate the new season. It can be as small as a new nail polish shade, a new lipstick or changes around your home. There are a few ways that I like to do this. image courtesy of pinterest Brighten Up the Place With Flowers: Nothing says Spring like flowers, right? I love love love flowers in my home and…

How to Encourage Good Reading Habits in Children
Image found on Flickr Celebrate Reading During National Library Week: Those of you who like to celebrate the many holidays this month such as April Fool’s Day, Easter and of course National Chocolate Mousse Day, you might be interested to know its National Library Week! As an avid Kindle reader, I can’t even tell you the last time I really spent time in a library. As a kid my mom used to take me to the library all the time, and it was always a great feeling finding new stories to experience, or just to check out a magazine or video. (Remember the days of VHS?) Recently, I read an…
