It’s official.  I’m THAT mom.  You know the one.  She wants to know what foods her kids are eating, she limits the amount of television they watch in a day, and yes, she even keeps her kids home from parties where movies she deems inappropriate are being shown. I don’t know when I began this…

If you were to take a look at the papers on my desk, you’d find a running theme whether they are work or family related – tons of lists.  A long time ago lists became a powerful tool in my arsenal against attention deficit disorder and saying yes to too many things.  I have always…

In the summer of 2009, my family spent the most amazing weekend at Walt Disney World.  Unlike our vacation six months earlier, this visit was completely unplanned.  We moved through the parks at a calm pace, saw just our favorite rides and shows, and enjoyed the pool at the Pop Century hotel.  Some of my…

I love this grainy old picture of me, and not because I was much thinner and had the long, flowing tresses that twenty-one year olds actually have the time and energy to maintain.  I love this image of me because it captures a particular moment in my life that was powerful and special and to…

After just over a week in our new house, it’s beginning to feel like a home, and these warm, autumn decorations have helped… Did you post a Wordless Wednesday today?  Share it with Resourceful Mommy readers here:

According to the USDA, 56% of Americans say they eat snacks three or more times daily. Healthy between-meal snacks not only benefit your body – healthy snacking can help promote healthy communities! For nearly 30 years, Trail’s End has been in partnership with the Boy Scouts of America, providing delicious snacks, including microwave popcorn. This…

This afternoon a friend of mine sent me a message that he was scanning in pictures from his first trip to Walt Disney World back in 1981.  While picturing my friend as a funny little six year old would have been amusing, my mind instead immediately turned to images of myself that same summer, running…

While preparing for our move to our new house last week, my husband and I found many things that we no longer needed from baby clothing to an old entertainment unit I had bought used in college.   We thought about holding a yard sale with the items that were worth a decent amount of…

Several weeks ago I asked for reader questions about dining at Walt Disney World parks and resorts in preparation for a Disney dinner here in Washington, DC at the Old Ebbitt Grill.  The fact is, we had such a wonderful evening of eating and chatting that I never got around to asking any questions at…

Thank you for bearing with me during my family’s move this week as we try to find the house we fell in love with under all of these boxes.  I’m beginning to see the  light at the end of the tunnel, and am looking forward to regularly blogging again starting next week! Did you post…

Remember that song from the musical Camelot, If Ever I Would Leave You?  I am thankful that we are saying good-bye to our home of six years in the fall, because I keep hearing these lyrics in my mind… If ever I would leave you how could it be in springtime? Did you post a…

My children have always loved to sort and create patterns whether it was with the cereal on their high chair tray or the utensils on the dinner table.  Encouraging their natural inclination to rearrange the objects before them has led us to find creative yet simple ways to reinforce known skills and practice new ones….

After a crazy series of busy weeks involving travel for work and pleasure, back to school, a heavy work load, and purchasing a new home, this weekend my body finally waved the white flag.  I went to bed Friday night a happy woman who had just reached a professional milestone, celebrated with a brownie sundae,…

For this reason, we’ve created a Twitter Party Calendar page, which is the…

Over the weekend I spent some time in Asheville, North Carolina for the Type-A Mom Conference where I spoke about marketing to social media moms and blogger/company relations.  I had an amazing time with new friends and old, and I learned an incredible amount about blogging, business, and even myself.  One of my favorite days…

One of the questions I am asked most frequently by friends and readers asking for help planning their Walt Disney World vacations is this: Where can I stay at Walt Disney World with my family of 5+?” In the past I’ve most often recommended a Walt Disney World Resort Deluxe Villa or Disney’s All-Star Music…
