I love Target. You probably do, too…and you know how it goes: You go in for cat food and laundry soap and coming out with throw pillows, a new bra, several candles, lipstick, cheese…pretty much a cart full of everything but whatever you went in for in the first place and then you go back….
The “Year of the Pig” is almost upon us and we’re celebrating with some Chinese New Year Coloring Pages over here. Chinese New Year (often referred to as Lunar New Year) begins on January February 5th. Two of my kids are adopted from China so celebrating Chinese New Year is a thing for us. It’s…
Disneyland is the happiest place on earth but that happiness is increasing in price, which doesn’t make anyone super happy. I do have some good news on how you can get around that price increase…but you have to act fast. Here’s how to get the best prices on Disneyland tickets right now. I’m a Getaway…

Happy (almost) Chinese New Year! We are celebrating the Year of the Pig in 2019 but that’s no reason not to do this super cute Year of the Dog Chinese New Year Craft. People who were born in 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006 and 2018 all fall under the sign of the dog,…
Do you remember the 90’s when the Spice Girls sang about Girl Power? Forget all that. Soon-to-be-released Captain Marvel takes girl power to such another level that using such a fluffy term to describe her sheer badassery probably shouldn’t be allowed. Captain Marvel will hit theaters on March 8th (yes, that’s less than two months…
2018 was such an outstanding year at the movies and Disney blew it out of the water with some amazing films. My 2018 favorite was Ant-Man and The Wasp because not only am I a huge, obnoxiously geeky Marvel Fan, but because we needed that lightness (as well as a few questions answered) after Avengers:…
The number one rule of cruising is to be on the ship as fast as possible. Why? Because you want to be soaking up the sun, eating delicious food, sipping frothy drinks and in general, enjoy being on vacation. Maybe it’s a little “nanny nanny boo boo” of me, but I like being up on…
Happy 2019, everybody! All the cliche phrases pop into my head (and into my Facebook feed) this time of year, like “New Year, New You” and lots of happy crappy talk about fresh starts and new beginnings. ‘Tis the season, right? I wrote a post a year ago today about my blogging goals for 2018…
I love being able to work from home. It allows me to contribute to my families income, be here when my kids need me to be here, and do a job I really love doing. I love the flexibility, the opportunities to travel and do other cool things, and…the dress code is pretty sweet, too….
