IMG00451-20111204-1100

I want to start this by saying I feel like I am a totally fair mom. I say yes in all the appropriate places and I really feel like life should be fun and I consider what I am saying before I say no. You want to go to the movies and see Happy Feet [...]

If you are reading this from a hotel room, the chances are you are an amateur vacationer. I want to teach you how to vacation like a pro here in the Kissimmee area and it starts with this: Stop Sharing a room with your children. I don’t know about you, but crowding your kids inside [...]

With the smell of sunscreen and treated water in the air, I most definitely knew we had arrived to the right place…Universal’s Islands of Adventure. While this was my daughters first time experiencing this park, I was at the grand opening many years ago when red carpets lined the walk ways and we rode the [...]

My daughter is constantly moving furniture. To make forts. Fine, I am cool with that, but then it started to be where the furniture was getting torn up, there were holes in the wall, screws were coming loose and I had to put a “no moving furniture” ban on Charlotte.

The new Target ad came in and Chris asked Charlotte to circle some of what she would like for Christmas… This is what came back: Does she think I am going to sell a kidney or something? ~Trisha

So today when she messed around for 10 extra minutes after the bus dropped her off trying to sneak a piece of candy into her mouth before she got home, she got [...]
