Friends and family alike are always asking me questions about the Disney Dining Plan. Is it a good value? Can I eat anywhere I want? Can I eat anything I want? But the question that keeps coming up again and again is the question about how much people need to budget for the third meal…

As I was sitting enjoying a lovely dinner out recently, I was introduced to the most stealth of toddlers. It wasn’t a formal introduction, where I got to look him in the eye and shake his hand, tell him how much I admire his work. Our introduction was a sneaky one. What is that slimy…

Fast food restaurants are notorious for their cheap eats. You’ll find $1 hamburgers, cheap chicken nuggets, frugally priced french fries – things that would be a value deal for most families. The one thing that never made any sense to me in this “fair deal” environment was the price of sodas at these fast food…

Bite your tongue! Some people – including those of us with school aged children – are bound by school schedules, sports schedules, and even work schedules (says the teacher-to-be), and a vacation to Walt Disney World has to be done during the hot summer. When it’s hot. And humid. And did I mention hot? Summer,…

God knows, I love my husband. He can be thoughtful and considerate, and rarely goes into a store without bringing something out for me. He’ll go into WaWa or 7-11 for example, and come out with a bag of cheese curls or a chocolate bar. Then he’ll run into Walgreens and bring out a fitness…

So much to choose from!! Am I the only one that gets overwhelmed when my 180 days draws near and I have to start planning my dining reservations for an upcoming Walt Disney World vacation? It’s a bigger challenge than the New York Times crossword puzzle! How will I know six months in advance if…

…you just have to have a taste of Disney World. But you can’t always get there. So what do you do? I have, over the years, built up quite a collection of recipes for some of my Disney favorites, and one that I’m surprised I have (but use most often) is the Boma recipe for…

Seriously? Isn’t this where it all began?? I have battled weight my entire life. I was a chubby baby – some babies look like the Gerber baby. In pictures I’ve seen, I look like the Michelin tire man. I was fat through elementary school. By 8th grade, I was tired of kids making fun of…
