Nerf Rebelle – Powerful in Pink and Purple | #Giveaway (11/8)
Now that Kylie is a teen, I am SO out of the loop when it comes to toys for girls. I know that there have been brands who have started to appeal to girls by taking popular toys marketed for boys and making them pink and purple, but until now, I didn't realize that Nerf has their own line of toys for girls called Nerf Rebelle! Honestly, I think Braxton (our 9 year old) would love this line for himself, because his favorite color is pink! These are so cool, and you can find the whole Nerf Rebelle line at…
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,…

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…
Titanic The Experience Orlando, Florida | #travel #vacation #orlando
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.
