Last month, my girls and I had the opportunity to take a road trip down to Orlando, FL for my annual TravelingMom retreat. We really enjoyed the time together both on the road and at the parks – especially since the girls are older now and much more self-sufficient. For three nights, we had the Read More
I received a Panasonic Lumix ZS60 digital camera while on the TravelingMom 2016 retreat. As always, all opinions stated here are either my own or those of my family. Two years ago, I had the great fortune to receive a camera from Panasonic to review as part of our annual TravelingMom #TMOMDisney retreat. My Lumix Read More
Has it really been fifteen years since the day that we brought our firstborn daughter home from the hospital? Back then it was impossible to imagine what she would be like as a little girl, running around, with hair… 🙂 Nowadays it’s difficult to remember back to the baby, toddler, preschooler and kid that she Read More

I should be ecstatic, jumping for joy, more than ready to resume Read More
On January 22nd of this year, an IV dripped toxic chemicals into my daughter’s body for the first time. Chemicals that are necessary to stop any more spread of her cancer, but which ironically could cause additional cancers in her themselves. Or damage her heart. Or her bladder. Or cause other issues that could follow Read More
I participated in an Ambassador Activation on behalf of Influence Central for the Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk. I received a promotional item to thank me for my participation. Six months ago, I had never heard of the Jimmy Fund. Previous to 2013, I also had the ‘luxury’ of not knowing that research funding for Read More
This post is sponsored by P&G and I was provided with a Walmart gift card as a thank you for sharing this information. As always, all opinions stated here are 100% my own or those of my family. This year has truly been a challenging one for my family – in ways we never anticipated. Read More
This is a sponsored post for SheBuysCars on behalf of OnStar. As always, all opinions stated here are 100% either my own or those of my family. It’s something most of us do every day – multiple times – and yet we very rarely think about the risks. We buckle our kids up into their Read More
