I’m so excited! We got the invite to attend Disney Social Media Moms 2012! We attended last year and had such an amazing time that we can’t wait to attend again this year. It’s such a fun event that is a wonderful mix of time spent at Disney World, at conference activities, and with family. Here’s [...]
When you think of Detroit one of the first words that should come in mind is cars. We do love the automobile. It not only provides a livelihood for so many of us, but also entertainment. We Michiganians can spend hours just looking at cars. The North American International Auto Show is proof of our [...]
In October, I had the chance to attend the Kraft Foods BlogEats Conference. It was a wonderful experience filled with new product information, recipe challenges, blogging tips, the opportunity to connect with other bloggers, and even a ride in the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile! While at BlogEats, there was an official Kraft Foods photographer there to [...]
What type of traveler are you? The type who doesn’t get excited until you lock in your door and are on your way, or the type who gets excited planning your trip all out? I’m the second one. I can literally spend days or even weeks planning out the perfect trip. Where we are going [...]
When we were picking out items for our wedding registry, we picked a nice set of luggage – or so we thought. The large bag has been great and we thought we were getting a deal on the two small carry ons that came in the set. Turns out when we actually try to use [...]
This week I had the wonderful opportunity to attend the Kraft Foods BlogEats conference in Chicago. It was an amazing event where we enjoyed: competing in a recipe contest challenge, sampling new products, learning about vlogging, food photography, seo, and knife skills in conference sessions,connecting with other bloggers, and members of the Kraft Foods team, [...]
Miles and miles of trees dressed in their ballgowns! It is the only way I can describe the fall beauty of northern lower Michigan. The oranges, yellows and reds intertwined with the greens on a sunny autumn day is breathtaking. All you have to do is get in your car and drive to the transformation of the countryside. Meandering [...]
How do you make an art show unique from the thousands of others that are held throughout the country? That had to be one of the first questions the organizers for ArtPrize in Grand Rapids, Michigan had to have asked themselves. Believe me, they succeeded, I bet even beyond their wildest dreams. ArtPrize is only three [...]
Who knew when Randy and I visited the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel in Grand Rapids, Michigan shortly after it opened 30 years ago, the changes that would happen to the city. I remember walking into the Plaza and being enthralled with the attention to detail and the breathtaking beauty of the hotel. I then remember getting up [...]

A couple of weeks ago we traveled to Lake Tahoe and had the pleasure of staying at the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, Spa, & Casino in Incline Village. The Hyatt is a gorgeous place tucked within the beautiful backdrop of the Sierra Mountain Range. The gorgeous sand beach overlooks the clear blue water of Lake [...]
Every time Grandpa Randy and I leave our house in Michigan and head towards Indianapolis, we always comment that a six hour drive is too long for a three day vacation. On the drive we swear this is the last time. Than we arrive in Indy and remember what keeps drawing us back. It is an amazing city. So much [...]
Grandpa Randy and I are college campuses snobs. We love going on a campus and saying “it doesn’t compare to Michigan State,” which is our alma mater. There is just something about the old brick buildings covered with ivy mixed with the new modern structures. The old trees towering overhead, spreading their branches like blankets [...]
Indianapolis has always struck me as a big city feel with a small community atmosphere. Since my sister lived there for several years, our daughters played a volleyball tournament every year there and the regional office for the company Grandpa Randy worked for was located there, it has become very familiar to us through the [...]
A couple of weeks ago we traveled to Lake Tahoe to watch extreme sports athlete, JT Holmes, book a hotel room while skydiving. In a previous post, I shared some photos taken from the ground. Hotels.com just released in-air shots and I put together a collection of the photos below. The final video follows – [...]
I’ve written a couple posts over the last week about my trip to the Whirlpool Real Whirled House. It was such an amazing and unique location that I put together a few of my favorite photos from the house. We also had the chance to visit the World of Whirlpool as well. It’s a gorgeous [...]

From left to right back row: Serendipty Mommy, Mommy Enterprises, Simply Being Mommy, Mom Spotted, Me, Tidy Mom, front row: Rockin’ Mama, Momma Findings. On the trip we were given an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at [...]
Top Thrill Dragster 420 feet high at 120 mph (see how tiny the coaster looks way up at the top?!) We live only 45 minutes away from Cedar Point and our most recent visit was just last week. It was a gorgeous day and the skyscraping rides stood out beautifully against the bright blue sky. [...]
This time of year is perfect for planning a family getaway. I hit the internet looking for the fantastic family getaways that are affordable as well. There are so many wonderful options out there that sometimes it’s hard to choose. I recently came across the destinations and packages below. All are at the top of [...]
Last week Dave and I were invited to Lake Tahoe to watch extreme athlete JT Holmes book a hotel room using the Hotels.com Extreme Mobile Booking App while skydiving!
