Our #VisitLancaster Stay at Bird-in-Hand Family Inn

#VisitLancaster Amish Country Cow

Amish Country, Lancaster County is a pretty popular tourist destination here in the US. In fact it looks like 10 million people knew better than me because I had never been to Lancaster, PA before. Even sadder to learn is that it is only an hour from me. Luckily we were invited to visit Lancaster [...]




A Weekend in Amish Country #VisitLancaster

Bird In Hand Family Inn

Accommodations are being provided for the #VisitLancaster trip but all opinions are my own. This weekend is a Girls Weekend but probably not the kind you are thinking. I’m headed to Amish Country to #VisitLancaster with Shae and Sabreena for a mini retreat with some of my favorite bloggers. We’ve been invited for an overnight [...]




A Weekend in Ocean City, MD

Ocean City, MD Playing on the Beach

Last week our family was in need of a little together time. Between work, school, sports and personal lives we’ve been a bit disconnected. Shaun had a lacrosse game in Berlin, MD (about 2 hours from us) so I thought the best idea was to get a hotel room for the night before at the [...]

Shopping for kids clothes is a HUGE expense. Mine don’t seem to stop growing, not even if I’ve already shopped for that season.  While I love shopping new trends and styles I also prefer to save money on basics like jeans, coats and tees.  By gently used I’m able to stock up on great deals [...]

A Longwood Gardens Christmas

In all of those years I’ve never visited Longwood Gardens even when I was only 20 minutes away. Longwood Gardens is a 1,077 acre estate in Kennett Square, PA that includes gardens, meadows, [...]




What I Learned at the Kenmore Fall 2012 Blogger Summit

So like I [...]
