    Four Fun Places to See African Wildlife Up Close – South Africa

    July 30, 2016 /

    Along the Garden Route that runs along the coast of South Africa, there are many animal parks where visitors have the chance to go on educational tours and get up close to many beautiful African animals. We had a fantastic experience driving along the Garden Route for 2 weeks and stopping at many parks along the way. It was a big check off my bucket-list to finally get up close to cheetahs, lions, monkeys, and so many other wild animals. So here are my favorite 4 parks that we visited! TENIKWA Tenikwa is a rehabilitation center for big cats where you can learn all about the animals and how we…

    Delicious Chicago-style Hot Dog Recipe

    July 25, 2016 /

      During my visit to Chicago this past May, I was determined to try out a couple restaurants famous for Chicago-style deep dish pizza and hot dogs.  I had never had a traditional Chicago dog so I really didn’t have any expectations!  I’ve always been a ketchup kind of girl so I was in for a nice treat.  Let me say this is the only way to eat a hot dog now.  We duplicated this delicious style hot dog at home and it was super easy.  You can mix it up a bit.  Like some people like to put lettuce or cucumber slices on the dog, but by no means…

    Comic Con 2016 delivers and then some!

    July 24, 2016 /

    This week I had a chance to sit down with the filmmakers, producer and stars of the upcoming Dream Works Animation movie Trolls Justin Timberlake and Anna Kendrick at Comic Con in San Diego.  And when I say sit-down, I mean at a round-table setting within feet of the one and only JT!  Yes, I was in heaven. Be sure to check out my post in the coming weeks about this interview and I’ll share some funny stories with you all like when Justin broke out singing Madonna’s “Like a Virgin” for us mom bloggers (we all about died).  I can say he was super down-to-earth as was Anna and…

    Don’t Miss Out: Halloween at Disneyland If you haven’t heard, Disneyland announced their official Halloween Time and Mickey’s Halloween Party dates for this year!

    Start Walking and Reclaim Your Mind and Body

    July 17, 2016 /

    “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.”                         ~ Albert Einstein A few months ago I decided to take time out for myself and get back in shape. I was SO over carrying this extra weight I gained from my neck injury and taking steroids (it is a real thing people) and I wanted to find a form of exercise that would fit into my busy lifestyle.  Heck, we are all too busy these days, but finding time to take care of our body is so very important. I think many times…
