Last week, I went to Type A Conference in Philadelphia (hashtag #TypeACon) with Lisa from Mom a la Mode. Going to any type of conference is always a fashion conundrum. You want to look stylish, yet you need to be comfortable and ready for those freezing cold conference rooms. Since Lisa and I were waking [...]
The hubby and I have been together for 16 years, married for 14 years, and of that, 10 years with kids. I can count on one hand how many times we’ve gone away together without the kids: one; for a friend’s wedding in San Diego, three years ago. For my 40th birthday, I told my [...]
We had a family trip to Flagstaff, Arizona over the holidays and not only had a wonderful, adventure-packed trip, but our tummy’s were very pleasantly surprised and thankful for the amazing South Western flavors we got to experience in Flagstaff.

This past Christmas holiday, we went to Flagstaff, Arizona for a post-holiday winter activity vacation and some SKIING. YES, THERE IS SKIING IN ARIZONA!

When my brother graduated college, my husband, Miss O, Miss S (then a 4-year old and infant, respectively) and I went to Connecticut for his graduation ceremony. My parents got us a suite at the Marriott Residence Inn. This was the first time we ever stayed at a Marriott Residence Inn and we were BLOWN. [...]
Our oldest daughter is in 4th grade so she is in the midst of studying the birth of the United States: the Mayflower, the Pilgrims, and the 13 original colonies. With Philadelphia so close to New York City, I thought it would be an easy, fun, yet educational weekend to take the family to one [...]
For the past several years, when I research our yearly family vacations, there is always one resort that I always research and always want to try: Beaches resorts. Why? Because I know Beaches Resorts are family friendly, all-inclusive and have a ton of kids activities. I know that for some the term “all-inclusive” is a [...]
Last weekend was Chevrolet Appreciation Day at Hershey Park in Pennsylvania where they celebrate Chevy family loyalty past, present and future. The Triple Threat Mommy family was one of ten blogging families who were treated to a sweet family weekend in Hershey, Pennsylvania where we got to test drive the Chevrolet Traverse for the weekend.
