The Wonder of Disney :: Part One
Image courtesy of Flickr Last month I was invited to attend the Disney Social Media Moms Conference and stayed at the Disneyland Resort Hotel for three nights and four days. Talk about a dream come true! My husband and daughter came along as well as it was geared towards mom bloggers and their families. My daughter was so excited to stay at the hotel, especially when I showed her the amazing water slides and pools. It really was a dream come true to be able to do this with my family and I will always hold dear the memories we made. The conference was absolutely amazing and I have…

Play :: Time to Embrace Your Inner Rock Star
As the school year draws to a close, school plays and spring musicals are just around the corner. Whether you were Sandy in your high school’s adaptation of Grease or have two left feet and sing off-key (we’re not judging!), Netflix has has some titles that will get you and your kids singing along to some popular show tunes. If you are like most people who grew up watching Grease, you probably know the words to most of the songs from the movie! My husband and I joke around and sing songs all the time from Grease – especially that scene in the garage where the high schoolers are…

Spotlight On :: The Movie “Moms’ Night Out” Delivers!
“I laughed, I cried, and I found myself feeling affirmed. If you’re a mom, you need to see this movie!” ~ Jill Savage, CEO Hearts at Home, Author, No More Perfect Moms In early March I had a chance to preview Moms’ Night Out with a good friend at The Irvine Spectrum. I didn’t really know what to expect but within a few minutes of the beginning of the movie, my friend and I were laughing hysterically – and this continued on throughout the movie. Moms Night Out features four friends who decide they need to have a night out together. The plan is to get dressed up,…

The Tooth Fairy
Image courtesy of Flickr The summer of 2010 was a busy summer for my youngest son Hayden. It was a summer filled with many firsts. He learned how to ride his two-wheel bike—without the training wheels. He learned how to swim in the deep end—without a life jacket. He learned how to blow a bubble (bubble gum). He learned how to whistle. He lost his first, and second, baby teeth. Considering how animated and energized Hayden was—and still is—most of the time, he is also a very relaxed, go-with-the-flow kind of child. That summer, while we were visiting with friends in Montreal, the kids were eating corn on…

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…
