Three years ago, when my husband and I on a whim took a tour of the new Saratoga Springs Resort at Walt Disney World, we were immediately sold.  We had done time share tours before, and I had always managed to find something wrong with the property, the way we had to vacation, or the…

    Just when I feel like we’ve done most everything we could do at Walt Disney World, something new comes up that makes me realize why I love going back there time and time again! On our recent visit to Walt Disney World, we had the opportunity to join some Disney World Moms Panel…

It’s that time of the year!  Tweeple are Tweeting!  Facebook statuses are updating!  Even the on life support MySpace is taking notice.  Walt Disney World is about to begin it’s search for candidates to serve as members of the Disney Moms Panel! Last year at this time, I was anxiously awaiting the announcement.  I had…

We finally arrived at the Museum of Science and Industry, and we discover the very best invention for a family of sleep laters like us – it’s called the Central Time Zone!!  Have you heard of this fabulous creature?  As we are pulling up to the museum and I am bitching casually mentioning to my…

Again, we are so diligent with our planning, that no one is surprised that our decision to leave at 5 AM turns into a 6:45 departure.  We don’t have long to travel through Ohio before we reach Indiana, and we are expecting to arrive at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry around 10:30. The…

After a rather uneventful coffee day yesterday, with easy access to my Starbucks fix on the Pennsylvania and Ohio turnpikes, we are finding Starbucks a bit more elusive between western Ohio and Indiana.  We have passed rest areas with Gloria Jean’s coffee, and while I’m sure ol’ Gloria knows quite a bit about coffee, she’s…

So, we thought we’d make it to Chicago on our first day, but that was when we were wild eyed optimists, with nothing ahead of us but the open road and the promise of a new adventure at every mile marker. Once reality sets in, we find ourselves praying to make it to Toledo, where…

I, like many people, have a morning routine.  I get up, shower, brush my teeth, get the kids off to school or summer activities, and then slip over to Cherry Hill, where I have carried on a three year love affair – every morning, sometimes in the afternoon, and even an occasional evening. I head…

A few weeks ago, Jim brought up the idea that we should take the family on a cross country road trip.  Yes – as in our country, not one of those tiny little ones where you find characters like Balki or Latka.  He’s talking the good ol’ US of A. Many years ago, when Brighid…

Anyone who knows me knows that I have a short list of Hollywood celebs that I think are absolutely adorable.  I’m not a big Brad Pitt fan, don’t get all ga-ga over Johnny Depp, and I think I could walk right into McDreamy or McSteamy in the grocery store and not know who they were…
