The Happiest Place on Earth & Link Up On the Edge #293
Have you ever been to the happiest place on earth? And no, I am not talking about Disney World. I have been to Disney World four times and I swear to you I was never as happy there as I was at the Strong Museum of Play in Rochester, New York. Plus it was only a two hour drive from home instead of a two hour flight and a whole day in the museum for this family of four cost a whopping $56 (with our military discount, of course). What does it cost for a family of four to visit Disney World these days, I wonder. I am guessing a…

It has been a few years since we have experienced the transition from infant to toddlerhood in our home. In fact, we are now at the transition from elementary to middle school. How in the world that happened so quickly I cannot say, but I do recall the infant to toddler transition being one of the more challenging parenting phases I have had to face. So with Mother’s Day just around the corner, I figured why not share some tips that I have learned along the way that might be beneficial to some new moms reading. Monica, I’m thinking of you!

Easter Weekend Highlights & Link Up On the Edge #292
I am wildly behind on all things in my life right now so I am going to share some highlights from spring break and Easter weekend and then I need to prepare for another night away this weekend. On Satruday, we are taking the kids to the Strong Museum of Play in Rochester, New York. I am excited to see the National Toy Hall of Fame and the boys (old and young) are really excited to check out the World Video Game Hall of Fame. I will share about that experience in the next week or two. For now, here are some holiday highlights… The first few days of spring…

Look Alike Day & Your Own Twist Link Up #43
You might be wondering about Look Alike Day. You also might be thinking that Monica and I look nothing alike in that cover image. Although Monica and I have inadvertently dressed alike for previous Your Own Twist themes (my favorite time was when we both wore giant unicorn heads), this time we were not meant to look like each other. National Look Alike Day happens every year on April 20. I do not think it is a coincidence that it falls on 4/20 because it is the silliest of silly holidays but it is also one of the best holidays. This holiday celebrates those individuals who look like another person.…

Whether you suffer from driving anxiety or not, who doesn’t want their road trips and other driving experiences to be as comfortable and…
