Back to School Style with Old Navy | #myONstyle

We spend three quarters of the year waiting for school to be out so that our kiddos can be free of homework, after school activities, late nights, and early mornings, and we spend three LONG months of the year waiting on the first day of school to roll back around!  The only thing that I dread about back to school, now that I have three in school, is the cost of clothes!  With Old Navy, my kids get great quality clothes at awesome prices! This is a great Mix-and-Match outfit for Hawk!  He can wear one shirt or the other…

Cadbury® Ice Cream Bars High Tea Party | #CadburyHighTea

When I was selected to be a party host for the Cadbury® Ice Cream Bars High Tea Party through Mom Select, I was baffled and excited, because it was for girls ages none of which I have!  My daughter is 14, so I had to go to my Facebook friends and find little girls to invite to my tea party! Blue Bunny and Cadbury came up with some pretty awesome ice cream bars! I sent out the invite for a Sunday afternoon, and I had a birth to attend!  I rescheduled it for the following Sunday.

We lost our kids at Disney World | Tips to find them quickly! #travel

Yes, you read that right.  We lost our kids at Disney World.  I'm pretty sure it's not all that uncommon to lose kids at Disney World, and even though it didn't come down to needing this, I'm thankful that my sister gave us a cool little tip before we left for the day (more about that in a bit)! Of course, it rains quite frequently in Orlando.   We had just decided to find something to eat because it looked like a storm was brewing.  We wanted to make sure that we were inside somewhere before the bottom fell out.  Well,…

You can always use this old phone… | #vacation #mcroadtrip2013

After eating and playing around at Pizza Planet for a few hours at Disney's Hollywood Stuidos, Hawk was tired, and pretty hot!  He looks at me and asks, "Mom, can you call Mimi and ask her if we can buy some swords?" When I replied and told him that my phone was dead, he pointed to this and said, "You can always use this old phone." He spotted the phone well before he asked me that question!

Orlando Stroller Rentals Review | Rent a Stroller in Orlando #vacation #orlando

Earlier this summer, we headed to sunny (and sometimes rainy) Orlando for our family vacation.  With Jett being the youngest of the group, we knew we were going to need a stroller, but we don't own a really nice one, and the ones that we do own would have taken up valuable space in our van.  I'm so thankful that a friend told me about Orlando Stroller Rentals. I love this company.  It's a genius idea.  Most families fly to Orlando, so by the time they lug a stroller to the airport and check it with their baggage, it's a…

During one of my blogging trips, I visited a Titanic Exhibit, and I was looking forward to taking Kylie to see it, because she's a huge Titanic fan.  When our vacation changed from Pigeon Forge to Orlando, I was a little bummed that she'd not be able to see it, however, I was happy to see that one of my friends visited the museum on one of her trips.  The Titanic Experience in Orlando Florida is definitely a must see for any Titanic buff visiting the area.
