We visited Volcano Bay as part of the Family Forward Conference, all opinions are my own. Volcano Bay is Universal Orlando's newest park, making it the third as it joins Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure. But this theme park is so different than the other two because it's a full water park with a fun and vibrant polynesian theme. Water is Life. Life is Joy. That's the philosophy celebrated at Universal's Volcano Bay water theme park and it resonates throughout the park. … [Read more...]

Thanks to Sweet Reads Box for sending me the September Sweet Reads Box for reviewing purposes. All opinions are my own. Do you ever get that kind of lost feeling after you've finished a good book? It's bittersweet, I guess, but that feeling when you've really loved the characters and the story and you don't want it to end and now you're not quite sure how to move on without them.

Do you have a green thumb? I definitely don't, not for house plants anyway, I tend to kill most plants within a week. Nevertheless, last year we put in a raised vegetable garden at the side of our house and we had some success. It was a lot of fun growing our own food and a great learning experience for the boys so I was eager to plant again this spring. This year we decided to try out some zucchini and boy did we grow some nice big ones! We harvested 3 biggies late this summer … [Read more...]

This Hot Chocolate Brownies recipe was sponsored by Nestlé. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience. "Mommy, can I have some hot chocolate to feel me better?" How many times have I heard my little guys say this? Countless times. It started around the time my oldest was four and had just started kindergarten, it would often be the first words out of his mouth as he walked in the door from school on a cold winter's day. Soon after, the other boys would pick up the … [Read more...]

"Boys, stop playing with your food!" Who else is guilty of shouting that one out at the kiddos while they mess around with their lunch? This weekend was totally different when I surprised the boys with Whippet Sticks for a fun afternoon snack. The stick like shape of Whippets are just perfect for playing around with and the boys didn't hesitate to break into a light saber battle with theirs. When they caught me watching them from the other side of the room they looked a little guilty, but … [Read more...]
