After great debate, we took the plunge for swim team photos for 6 year old Kenzie. Somehow I wasn’t going to do the individual photo figuring it would be something we could just “skip.” Luckily friends convinced me otherwise. I don’t know what I was thinking -other then it was a combination of exhaustion from … Read more
Sigh. I was super bummed and shocked to get a phone call from our Pediatrician the other day with Kyle’s blood test results showing that his blood test results tested positive for Celiac disease. His numbers were sadly actually “off the charts” high to the point that he was beyond where they stop measuring. The … Read more
The patriotic kids love to dress in red, white, and blue. I couldn’t resist buying these outfits from Gymboree and figured we’d make the most of them on Memorial Day, 4th of July, and on our trip to Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Tetons this summer. Aren’t these outfits so fun? Kenzie was super … Read more
What a wild ride! This photo captures it all. Splash Mountain is probably our favorite attraction at the Magic Kingdom – it’s a fabulous ride with just enough thrill to make us nervous but not too many giant drops to make my 4 or 6 year old “freak out” totally. Plus getting wet is a … Read more
There’s nothing like a local summer fair. We hopped over to Phoenxiville’s annual Dogwood Festival on Thursday evening for a fun night out with the kids. The excitement of the crowds and the transformation of our ordinary park into a giant carnival atmosphere was thrilling for my kids. The expressions of pure joy on my … Read more
So sometimes we do crazy things for our kids. Blame it on love. Last week was a fun one that I’m sure we’ll remember for a long time.

I live for these moments. Mother’s Day Tea is just the cutest thing of the year at our preschool. This age is so adorable I want to bottle it up and keep it with me forever – especially someday when I’m all old and alone – I’ll be able to remember and return to that … Read more
Raising an Olympian. Can you imagine? Yesterday I spent the day with TEAM USA Moms of Olympic athletes & Olympic hopefuls. As part of Procter & Gamble’s Thank You Mom Campaign, they announced yesterday they will be giving $1000 to EVERY single Team USA Mom – 800 of them – to help them get to … Read more
Reliving the fun! Better late than never, I figured I’d share some of our fave memories from Disney’s Social Media Moms’s event where we partied at Animal Kingdom for a Dino-Riffic event after the park closed. We snapped this Family photo walking into the park which captures that glorious tree of life in the backdrop. … Read more
Last night the kids got into the Pirate vibe at the Swashbuckler’s Soiree to kick off the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration. We all kicked off our shoes, went barefoot in the sand, and enjoyed a casual Pirate Party BBQ with great music, yummy food, and excellent company of bloggy Moms from across the country … Read more
