Still eating out…

Food, food, food…. My review of 12 Disney restaurants will begin late next week.  Until then we are still busy eating, and eating, and eating.

Eating Meals Out

So, I am on a break from cooking right now.  We are eating every meal out.  In some ways this is a dream and in another way it is a bit of a nightmare.  I love food.  Good food.  We are in Walt Disney World and each meal so far has been wonderfully prepared.  But,…

15 Family Dinner Conversation Starters for Tween and Teens

My family never seems to have a problem talking during dinner.  I sometimes have to ask for them to settle down and actually eat their dinner.  We sit at our little kitchen table each night, laugh, and solve the world’s problems.  Sometime they are simple.  Sometimes we have moral dilemma conversations that we will never…

Season’s Greetings

Let our New Year’s resolution be this: we will be there for one another as fellow members of humanity, in the finest sense of the word. Goran Persson Whatever holiday you celebrate I wish you happiness and health in the coming year. I am making my grandmother’s recipes for German Pigs in a Blanket and…

Disney Social Media Moms – On the Road Chicago

I am so excited!  I have been invited to participate in Disney’s Social Media Moms on the Road Conference in Chicago, Illinois.  All right, let’s get to the truth, I am terrified. This is a conference with many Social Media specialists that I have been following for quite a while.  I am a little fish…

What Happens When Mommy Doesn’t Make or Plan Dinner

Things have been crazy here and I have been trying to keep on top of the meal planning and cooking.  This is what happens when Mom doesn’t plan a dinner or leave something cooking for them.   They figure it out. I volunteered at school today and then I had to do three pick-ups and…

Disney on Ice – Princess and Heroes: A Night Off

Yesterday after school we picked up the kids and headed out to see Disney on Ice.  It was a complete surprise to the kids who didn’t even know where we were going until we pulled up in front of the arena 2 hours later.  At first my daughter was upset because she had been expecting…

The Imagine Award

I was amazed when Meagen, from Chaos and Cookies,  http://chaosandcookies.com/ nominated me for the Imagine Award.   I have been writing this blog for two years now an wasn’t even sure people understood what I was trying to do for my family.  This is an amazing way for bloggers to show support and appreciation for…

One of Those Days Dinner

Yes, we all have them.   We tend to feel overly guilty about them too.  Those dinners we view as “bad” or “unhealthy.”  I stopped at the grocery store yesterday on my way to pick up the kids for dance and tried to find them something quick and easy they could eat in the car for…

Slow Cooker Chicken Gyros

My 200th post.  I thought it would be something spectacular like boeuf bourguignon or something.  Definitely not a chicken dish. But, it has been a long, strange journey for me and my family over the last 20 months.  Moving twice in one year (don’t recommend it) threw a monkey wrench into everything, but despite two…
