SeaWorld at Chrismas – #typeatrip day 3
SeaWorld was decked for the holidays, from Christmas trees with a seaside theme to twinkling blue lights. There were also several holiday-themed activities there. The Arctic attraction with the polar bears changed from a simulated helicopter ride to a Polar Express ride. Shamu also put on a special Christmas version of Believe (although we went [...]
Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure – #typeatrip day two
Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure are where we spent day two of our holiday visit to Orlando. The highlight of the day at Universal Studios for the grown ups was probably seeing the Mystery Machine and the Simpsons area, and the kids enjoyed the Feivel play area the most. Over at Islands of Adventure, [...]
Thanksgiving at Disney World – #typeatrip Day One
“I’m really here.” That’s what my 3-year-old son said yesterday, softly to himself soon after we arrived at Disney World. I know many families do the traditional Thanksgiving, but this year we decided to pack up the minivan and head south. Today, Thanksgiving Day, was our first day at the parks during this visit. A [...]
Test Drive of A Full Cup Coupon Site
OK, so straight up, I am not a coupon clipper. I like the idea of it, and from time to time I’ve bought papers and cut them up. But from week to week, I just don’t have time to do that clipping and organizing. But then, you know, five humans and four pets and a [...]
Join the Sustainable Kitchen Project
As spring arrives, I’ve been thinking over the past year since I started my personal Sustainable Kitchen Project. I actually accomplished quite a bit considering the hectic pace of a busy mom. It dawned on me maybe many of us can support each other by my inviting all of you to participate in the Sustainable [...]

My Traveling Mamas Interview
I was so pleased to get interviewed by one of my long-time online travel writer buddies, Jen Miner (a.k.a. MudslideMama). I met my fellow travel writer who is a cohort feature writer for the Outdoors & Recreation section at Suite101. So needless to say, I was thrilled when she asked to interview me for TravelingMamas.com [...]
We’re Going to Disney World
In two days, we hit the road to experience the holidays at Disney World. This was kind of an impromptu thing. It started with my previous post on the Mom Panel. I wrote about all the holiday happenings there for my Suite101 Family Adventures site. What really clinched it, for me, was when I heard [...]
Angelina Jolie, Shame on You From a Former Breastfeeding Twin Mom
A close friend of mine just sent me a link to this People story, Angelina: Breast Feeding Twins is ‘Very Hard.’ Here is an excerpt from the People post: “It’s very hard,” the actress confessed on Britain’s morning show GMTV. “I stopped at three months, [it was] about as much as I could do.” I [...]
Motrin’s Offensive Mom Ad is Proof Companies Must Hire Chief Mom Officers
Have you seen this ridiculous Motrin commercial? The one that says moms wear their babies because it’s in fashion, and to look like an “official mom.” The one that asks if baby wearing makes moms cry. Also be sure to watch the baby version, which claims moms secretly want to be committed. You know, for [...]
