Thank you to everyone who quickly jumped on board with the 30 Days of Change Challenge before really knowing what we would be working on together. Today I’m sharing our first challenge: Parenting.

Did you know that when MP3 players are purchased as gifts, the majority of purchasers are moms? That finding emerged at the Mommy Tech summit at the recently concluded Consumer Electronics Show. But do you know about the potential risks? Kids often don’t know how to use audio technology safely and they can harm their…

Last month my family went on a one week vacation to Walt Disney World. We had fabulous service at parks, restaurants, and our hotel, enjoyed countless rides and entertainment, and even found something exciting to do during two days of rain.

The daffodils are ready… Emma is ready… Noah is ready… But it’s January. The beautiful days don’t last, and we may be up to our eyeballs (or waists) in snow again. Are you ready?

We frequently search for Disney videos on YouTube, but primarily my kids and I are looking to hitch a ride with someone’s video camera as they scream through Space Mountain, get soaked on Splash Mountain, or fly past Cinderella’s Castle on Dumbo. Now you can visit YouTube to check out videos from experts on everything…

Last month I wrote a basic guide to staying on property at Walt Disney World, but as promised, it’s time to delve deeper into all that Disney’s flagship resort, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, has to offer. I have to admit that I was somewhat concerned about staying at the Grand Floridian with small…

Last summer I wrote a post that came back to bite me a few times about bloggers and their relationship with members of the public relations field. Some of you will remember the PR black-out brouhaha, but what you may not know is how much incredible support I received in e-mails and Twitter messages about…

In planning for multiple Walt Disney World vacations, I have read stacks of guide books and searched through countless forums and websites. My hands down favorite planning guide is The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World, and the most resourceful Disney website is All Ears. That said, I love the idea of a Disney planning…

Due to changes in schedule, this calendar has been taken down. Thank you for your patience as we create an updated version.

With every Disney vacation we fall in love with new rides and experiences while clinging to our old favorites, some going back all the way to my own childhood. Going to Disney and want to know our favorites? Here is a park by park list of the rides we love the most. The Magic Kingdom–…

For months I’ve been meaning to share this idea, but there never seemed to be a good time. I tweet with hundreds of hashtags for anything from Sitewarming Parties to snarky remarks best suited to one big jumbled word. Tonight is the night I share my idea with the world. Okay, so for right now…

As you may recall, I’ve been participating in a #Tastemaker online cooking challenge sponsored by the U.S. Potato Board. December was a big month as I completed two challenges at once. It took me some time to get everything together after camera glitches, dead batteries, and ingredient gaffes, but at long last they are here….
