Disney is magic…but we all knew that, right? This summer, I had a very cool opportunity to get a peek behind the curtain. I got to spend a day at Disney Animation Studios and talk to the awesomely creative people behind the upcoming movie, Ralph Breaks the Internet. Even though I got to see a…
I love to cook. Give me a few hours, a clean kitchen and the sound tracks to Wicked, Dear Evan Hansen and Kinky Boots and I can whip you up a meal that will make you cry and slap your mama. But on an ordinary Thursday night, who really has time for that? Not me….
I love upstate New York and I think this region is one of the BEST kept secrets we have as a country. I was lucky enough to get to spend some time in this area this fall and I’m already planning my next trip…yes, really I am! The scenery is beautiful, the people are friendly…
I often wonder about my boys’ lives before they joined our family (for newer readers, my boys were adopted at two-years-old and three years-old, respectively.) They are four months apart and are now eight and in the third grade. I always wonder how they will see their adoption stories when they are older. I wonder in…

I recently had the opportunity to spend…

Texans like their trucks. We all know this, right? Big hair, big trucks, everything’s bigger in Texas. We’ve all heard that. I have never owned a truck, though. My dad had a truck during most of my growing up years. I’ve certainly driven my fair share of trucks over the years but I’ve never owned…
If you’re in the San Antonio area (or planning a visit) during the month of October, you’ll want to check out SeaWorld. They’ve got a ton of fun, scary, and non-scary Halloween fun…absolutely something for everyone. Here’s everything you need to know about Halloween at SeaWorld San Antonio. Everything you need to know about Halloween…
Have you ever been to Rochester New York? If you haven’t, I absolutely recommend it as a weekend city break or a longer vacation. I just came back from a week in upstate New York and I’m in EL-OH-VEE-EE LOVE with this area of our country. If you think New York is just the Empire…
