Pocket People–When Toys Have Beautiful Stories
I’m just back and processing everything from Toy Fair. I always enjoy wandering the halls and seeing so many wonderful toys, games, dolls, and accessories.

In the Land of No Boredom
As I got ready to get my kids from the bus stop today, I started to think of what we might do this afternoon. With nothing planned, I figured we’d do something fun. We have some games we haven’t played yet, a couple of science kits, some engineering activities, a few unopened LEGO sets, and

We’re Going to Disney World for Disney Social Media Moms
We’re off to the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration and I am so incredibly excited. I had the pleasure of attending the first Celebration in 2010, but wasn’t able to bring the family. This year, we’re all going and I know the kids are going to have a fantastic time. Disney knows how to throw
Healthy Babies: Taking Things for Granted
Last week I had an ultrasound done at a local hospital (and, no, I’m not pregnant). I’ve had more than a dozen done over the past few years with two at-risk pregnancies and various other things that crop up. The ultrasound tech was a student, and it just may have been her first ultrasound on
