Our Trip to Disney Started with….a Flat Tire! #DisneySMMoms

So we decided it would be best to start off driving at night as soon as my husband got home from his grad school class.  We hit the road around 9 P.M. and had to stop on the way to pick up my 13 year old sister who was coming with us.  We were finally [...]

Screen shot 2011-01-14 at 2.57.07 PM

My husband is a huge hockey fan and can’t wait to get our boys into hockey.  Since we are from Chicago, we are big Blackhawks fans, but since my boys are little it doesn’t make sense to spend all the money on a Blackhawks game for the four of us.  The Chicago Wolves is a [...]

Last month I had the chance to attend a LEGOLAND Discovery Center Media Event.  My family along with 50 or so other families got to have LEGOLAND all to ourselves and experience everything it has to offer.  First we were greeted by the manager who is so friendly and nice that you can tell he [...]

IMG_7335

So my three year old is more Duplo aged, but he does love it when I let him play with actual Legos we also have.  When I realized there is a Legoland only 20 minutes away in Schaumburg, I knew I had to take him.  I checked out Legoland Discovery Center online, but I still [...]

Disney Social Media Moms: Day 5 and 6 #DisneySMMoms

Now the conference is officially over (so sad) and we were on our own. Saturday we checked out of the Polynesian because it is a Saturday night and we could not afford a room (I can’t even remember what was available) and I wanted to try out another hotel. Since we were going to the [...]

Disney Social Media Moms: Day 4 #DisneySMMoms

Okay so this day was jam packed for me, as I was in conference sessions basically from 8 AM -5 PM. We had breakfast, lunch, and cocktails, which were fabulous as usual! We heard from Maxine Clark who is the CEO of Build-A-Bear and told us about her story of how she had a dream [...]

Disney Social Media Moms: Day 3 #DisneySMMoms

First thing Thursday morning I had to catch a bus over to Epcot for a Disney Moms breakfast and to hear from Guy Kawasaki. He is the co-founder of Alltop.com, author, former Apple employee, and Twitter expert! He was funny, insightful, and really showed us how to use Twitter to network and get more visitors [...]

Disney Social Media Moms: Days 1 and 2 #DisneySMMoms

Okay so this is actually going to be a combination of our first two days at Disney, since we arrived late in the afternoon on Tuesday, so I am combining it with Wednesday. First, off what was I thinking when I suggested we drive to Florida with a three year old boy and a twelve [...]

Our Trip to Key Lime Cove Indoor Waterpark Resort

We went to Key Lime Cove Indoor Waterpark Resort in Gurnee, Illinois, which is right across the street from Six Flags Great America. We decided to go because we didn’t [...]
