    PULSE :: Providing Village Ambulances to Remote Communities in Uganda

    April 24, 2015 /

        Giving birth can be such an amazing experience but imagine if you were unable to have access to a hospital!  My pregnancy went really well (minus the 50 pounds I gained) and I had assumed my delivery would be without complications as well.  Boy, was I in for a surprise! In the summer of 2006 on July 28th  I was admitted into the hospital at 8:40 pm and within a half hour I was on the table having an emergency C-section due to a torn Placentia (how does that happened?). Yes, it was very dramatic and my little Kate had to stay in the NICU for 4 days for monitoring.  I completely understand…

    RFP Testing Provides a Safer Sporting Environment for Athletes

    April 17, 2015 /

    “The King-Devick Test is beneficial to me because it’s a sideline objective test. It’s easy to use and allows me to have another sound backing in my assessments of a head injury. Since I have been involved with the K-D Test, I have had nothing but positive outcomes. The athletes seemed to have taken well to it, and it’s not overwhelming to implement within an already established head injury protocol. All-in-all the King-Devick Test has proven its worth by its ease of use, validity, and time-efficient objectivity.” ~ Rickey Perales, ATC, Head Athletic Trainer at St. Laurence High School   As a parent I had my reservations about my daughter playing…

    Inspiration Found at Disney On The Road

    July 10, 2014 /

          Okay, by now you probably know I am a big kid at heart and love all things Disney!  After attending the Disney Social Media Moms event back in April I truly appreciated (even more) what an amazing visionary Walt Disney really was and love that he never gave up on his dream of creating the Happiest Place On Earth!  Which I can honestly say is one of my favorite places to go with the family.  I love to see my daughter’s face light up while on the roller coasters or when she runs into a Disney character at the park.  Plus, there is something about eating popcorn while walking…

    Our Disney Side Party Brought Out the Kid in All of Us!

    March 2, 2014 /

       “I received free products in order to host the Disney Side @Home Celebration. The opinions expressed here are my own.” Our Disney Side Party was a Blast! Last week we had our Disney Side Party at a local park with my daughter’s Daisy Troop.  We asked that everyone dress up as their favorite Disney character and we had a party filled with some great costumes!  It was so much fun that I had to share some of the pictures with you all!  Disney and Mom Select chose a couple hundred mom bloggers to work with on their Disney Side campaign which basically encourages people of all ages to tap…

    Fun Ideas for a Disney-themed Party!

    February 20, 2014 /

    Next week we are throwing a Disney Side party for some of my daughter’s friends.  I am really excited to be working with Disney and Mom Select on this campaign that encourages people of all ages to tap into their Disney Side.  You know the big kid that is inside all of us.  Just some of us need to be reminded to be goofy from time to time (or all the time if you have kids) and leave work behind and enjoy yourself!  Here are some fun ideas to incorporate into your own Disney-inspired party!  Just love the ideas people come up with – like the Mickey Mouse Oreo cookies by…

    February 11, 2014 /

          “I received free products in order to host the Disney Side @Home Celebration. The opinions expressed here are my own.”   There is just something about walking through the gates at Disneyland that makes me feel like I am 7 years old again!  I am usually rushing through the entrance as I can’t wait to ride the roller coasters – Space Mountain is one of our favorites, and take a ride through Pirates of the Carribean for the 100th time.  It has been so wonderful sharing Disneyland with my daughter and we have had season passes since she was old enough to walk.  Last year my husband…
