I am guilty of focusing on only what is right in front of me, which is common for busy parents, isn't it? I sometimes forget about the service members who are dedicating their time and lives to protect our country. Hundreds of thousands of service members will remain on duty, away from home, this holiday season. So how do we give to those who are giving their all for our country? The USO Wishbook is a great place to start if you want to support troops around the world! View Post
When I was a kid, Christmas was IT for me. I thought of Christmas all throughout the year, wanted to decorate early (and make my wish list, of course!) I loved Christmas. There is something about having kids, however, that always takes things to a new level. My boys love Christmas time, and while they are not always eager to listen to Christmas music, they love decorating, making Christmas cookies, going to Christmas parties, buying and wrapping View Post

As a child, I was never a *true* fan of Disney. I know, that is both tragic and sad, but I was in love with other things and did not truly become a Disney fan until adulthood. Sure, I watched "The Little Mermaid" in the theater and had seen Disney World advertised on TV, but never knew what I was missing. This allowed me to explore the World of Disney as an adult, and it was a magical experience when we finally took our family to Disney View Post

These festive holiday appetizers would be perfect for snacking while the View Post
If you have spent any amount of time with my family, you know that my kids LOVE sports of any kind. Our house and yard look like the local YMCA on some days. What I love about buying gifts for sports kids is that if they use the basketball or soccer ball you gave them last year as much as my boys do, they will likely need another by the time the next holiday rolls around! My youngest has literally asked for a new soccer ball each and every year View Post
What are some ideas for ornaments for kids to make? One of my fondest memories as a child is making Christmas ornaments. Whether it was at school or at home, there was something so special about making ornaments that I could put on our family tree. My sweet mother even saved most of these ornaments over the years and even though some are quite embarrassing, I do treasure them! It was very popular to make ornaments with pictures and View Post
