Wednesday night was the first night I did dishes in 10 days! Believe me, I didn’t miss it one bit. Last week my husband and I had a taste of each other’s normal roles. A small taste, but it helped us understand each other a little better. For 3 days I was the one getting [...]

My Number One Tip For Taking Kids On Vacation
There’s lots of tips I can think of for vacationing with small children, but this is the one that has helped us the most. Try to stay on their normal schedule. If you try to get them to bed, get them up, and feed them at their normal times it helps things go better. It [...]
The Upside Down House
After driving past this several times we decided to go in to Wonderworks in Pigeon Forge. It was a bit pricey, but fun. My munchkins were fascinated by it – that means there were a million and one questions – until we decided to walk through that archway. The creaking and groaning sound effects in [...]
Traveling Through Virginia
Here’s a bit about our trip back from Tennessee since I told you so much about our trip there. We were already 3 hours closer to home because of traveling to Pigeon Forge on Saturday night. We stopped at the Natural Bridge and Foamhenge on Tuesday on our way to Pennsylvania. We bought tickets down [...]
Condo Living is the Vacation for Me
If you are an unmarried girl I have something to add to your list of requirements for a husband. Find one whose parents own a time share. Without having access to my in-laws condo we could not have taken half as many vacations as we did [and hope to take in the future]. Here’s some [...]
The Underwater World is Scary, Amazing, and Beautiful
During our last vacation we visited Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies. We got there an hour and a half before they closed in February so there were not many people there. All the fish were there, though, and that’s what mattered! My 2 year old was scared half the time because the pathways are [...]
Toto, We’re Not in the North Anymore
It’s amazing that just a couple state lines and the Mason-Dixon line changes people. It’s not a big change, but it’s different. Here’s a few things I’ve been noticing. I became everybody’s honey – bless your heart. There are Sonics everywhere and Taco Bells on every corner. Went to my first Sonic today. One [...]
In the Sky, Hallelujah! Me oh My. I Flew Away! (Part 3 of 3)
Our first steward’s name was Angel, the second stewardess’ name was Cricket. What is it with these people? Do you have to have a weird name to work on an airplane? We even had a Ronell. The one steward was downright begrudging and condescending, like we should be glad he was helping us lowly people. [...]
I Flew Away! Part 2 of 3
So there we are practically running through the Airport in Detroit. We had to get from the B Concourse through the tunnel to the complete opposite end of the C Concourse. We made those moving sidewalks work for us! It was just when I would land on the concrete at the end of the moving [...]
I Flew Away! Oh Glory! Part 1 of 3
It was finally the day of my first plane trip. Exciting and nerve racking at the same time. We got there in good time for the first of our three flights. You could almost cut the tension that was emanating off everyone in line for the security check. We had read up ahead of time [...]
