Experience The Disney Social Media Mom “On-The-Road” Conference With Me!
A few weeks ago I received some Pixie Dust from the crew over at Disney Moms. They are the group that put on the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration On-The-Road Conferences that are held a couple times a year in various spots across the country. I always enjoy going to these conferences because it just brings out the kid in me (doesn’t Disneyland do that to everyone?!) and also to hear about the cool things happening with Disney. We also heard from social media industry experts such as Erin Glover, who is an editor for the Disney Parks Blog and Megan Sayers Chapman from Babble who provided wonderful advice to…

My friends over 40 this post is for you but I do believe these outfit ideas can work for any woman at any age. I was a little distressed to find that when I typed in Summer Fashion for Women Over 40 mostly frumpy outfits came up on Pinterest! When I say I was a little distressed is an understatement.

I am on a mission now to make sure that we provide some cute fashion tips for all women – especially over 40! Let me know…

Perfectly Grilled Steak & Lobster Recipe
This week my ever-growing daughter asked to have steak for dinner. It reminded me of the first time she ever had meat – like right off the grill ribs. She was about 4 years old and was at a friends birthday at the zoo. The boy’s father was a chef (lucky kid!) and was grilling up some baby back ribs. I can still remember the look of surprise Kate had while eating these tasty ribs. I think she went back for thirds! To this day, we call her the carnivore because she just loves to eat meat. I try to buy grass-fed, no-hormone steaks because frankly I think they…
