So after the theatre tonight, Jim decides we should go grab a bite to eat.  I like the diner across the street.  The people are friendly, there are “safe” foods for me, and it’s close to home so no one has to drive home.  Jim is on a kick to eat at different locations as…

I’m ranting again.  If you aren’t ready to listen to a total and complete rant, brought on by middle of the night television, tune out now.  It’s going to get ugly, people. So I am up at the crack of dawn, flipping through the infomercials, when I tune in to the ever reliable with a…

Just a few quick pictures of Brighid and her date Tom getting ready to leave for his prom in Philadelphia.

To borrow a line from my favorite Doctor – Seuss – Oh the places you’ll go as a member of the Walt Disney World Moms Panel!  Having felt pretty well bonded after our training experience, the idea is bandied about a few times about the opportunity for a bit of a reunion.  Well, we are…

Okay, who does not think this is an amazing idea?  When I first saw that Disney was going to be adding the Picnic in the Park meal at Animal Kingdom, I knew that I wanted to try it as soon as I could!  How fortunate that just a week or so after the meal option…

The whole family packed into the minvan this week to take Brighid to the University of Central Florida, where she will be one of a small city of young adults entering as a freshman this coming fall.  The odd thing about this picture is that when Brighid applied to the University of Florida, I appealed…

A restaurant that bills itself as a Prehistoric Family Adventure sounds like the perfect way to spend a lunch, and my daughters Eilis and Granuaile did just that on our recent visit to Downtown Disney in Orlando.  Seeing an obvious lack of a lunch crowd, we walked into the restaurant and were seated right away…

As a mom, there is very little in life as exciting as having the opportunity to defeat your children at something that resembles a video game.  My daughters spend their lives telling me how I am an epic failure at things like Wii, XBox, World of Warcraft.  But today is the day I exact my…
