Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point, Salt Lake City, Utah

Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point, Salt Lake City, Utah I'm at the SNAP Conference and we were lucky enough (or maybe the amazing organizers planned it this way?) to be at Thanksgiving Point during the Annual Tulip Festival.  One of my favorite things to take photos of is flowers and nature.  I took a TON of photos and thought I would share a few (ok a lot) of my favorites with you .  If you are ever in the Salt Lake City area I definitely recommend visiting the Thanksgiving Point gardens.  If you can't make it there I...

Family Camping with BRIGGS & RILEY #BRXTravelGear

Family Camping with BRIGGS & RILEY #BRXTravelGear   Our family camps. I love it, our kids love it even more. Not everyone would guess that about me.

Lake Erie Shores and Islands ~ Perfect Family Getaway

Lake Erie Shores and Islands ~ Perfect Family Getaway Can you believe it is the middle of August already???? As much as I am ready for school to start, I am also sad that it flew by me so fast this year.  I have been so busy traveling myself and getting settled into my new job that I blinked and summer is done ;(  Maybe you are in the same boat as me, scrambling at the last minute to get in some fun before school begins, but you don’t have the time or the money to go too far from home.  If you live in Western PA or Ohio, I have the...

Enjoy a Relaxing Night In Pittsburgh at The Fairmont Hotel

Enjoy a Relaxing Night In Pittsburgh at The Fairmont Hotel A few weekends ago I had the pleasure of enjoying a complementary evening at the Fairmont Hotel in Pittsburgh and it was just what I needed to relax and unwind after a very busy week in NYC for the Toy Fair. Over the last few years I have had the pleasure of staying at lots of fantastic hotels when I travel, the comfy pillows and inviting decor of each one is always what I enjoy the most.  It never occurred to me that I could get the same experience without even having to leave my city!...

Making Autograph Books for #DisneySmMoms Celebration

Making Autograph Books for #DisneySmMoms Celebration Only 16 days until we leave for #DisneySmMoms conference and we are so giddy! One thing I wanted to make sure we all had for the trip was an autograph book.  Last time I went to Disney with kids was in 2000 when Emilee was 3 and Zac was 1.  We got the standard Disney autograph book at the park and when I got home I added photos and stickers. It turned out ok and has been a great keepsake, but this time around I wanted something a little more personal and with more room to work so I decided...
