Why Disney Alex And Ani Is Perfect For Disney Travel

Or the perfect souvenir to remember all of the Disney adventures. Definitely View Post
Best Life Jacket For Kids
We are a boating family. So naturally we are always on the hunt for the best life jacket for kids. Some of the life jackets out there are so very uncomfortable! If you've been following this blog for a while then you know this. Living in the Midwest means we are around lots of water. Not the typical water that people think of on the East and West Coasts but for us it is definitely water. View Post

San Antonio SeaWorld Giveaway Is Dandy
In March we took a family vacation to San Antonio and it was a great time. We love that city so much. The fact that we lived there for 6 years has given it a permanent place in our hearts. Can't wait to go back for another visit actually! Hopefully soon. Very soon. When we lived there we had season passes to SeaWorld. We loved going there on Saturdays and especially evenings during the week View Post

The Smile Of A Melanoma Fighter
When you search "images of melanoma" you will find so many scary pictures. You'll see slide shows. Charts showing how to identify what is and what isn't. You'll see what I saw in community health classes in college. The ABC's of Melanoma. Textbook images. Painful images. The images of scars. So MANY scars. Images of the progression when left untreated. What going undiagnosed looks like. View Post
Travel: CoCo Key Waterpark in Kansas City

Instead of dreaming about a white Christmas… I'm dreaming about that warm vacation View Post
