When a couple of my tennis friends asked me to go away for a long weekend to an Adult Tennis Camp, it didn't take much arm twisting on their part to get me to say yes! Really, they had me at Florida in the winter but the tennis thing was an added benefit I was intrigued about. I'm somewhat new to tennis. I played a bit as a kid because my Mom … [Read more...]

Hi friends! It's most definitely been awhile! Life is busy, as always.

We moved both of our … [Read more...]

Starting March 9, 2018 running through April 15, 2018, Spring-a-palooza at Great Wolf includes some … [Read more...]
I've been kicking this post around in my head for awhile now. And now that the Eagles are going to the Super Bowl (aww yah!) this topic has come to light in a lot of news stories over the last few days. I love Philly and I love the Eagles. I couldn't be more excited that we've made it to the Super Bowl... but I'm embarrassed to lump myself in … [Read more...]
Hey guys! I'm still getting adjusted to being back home and on East coast time after a couple of fun-filled days out in the Seattle area. We were invited back to Nintendo headquarters in Redmond, WA, which is like a dream come true for our little gaming family. {You can read my review from our 2016 trip here} Nintendo is the favorite in our … [Read more...]

Have you guys heard of Paint Nite? Or maybe you don't know Paint Nite specifically but you probably have been to or know of local paint companies similar where you bring wine and paint with your girlfriends for an evening? I'm a big fan and a few have cropped up in our area over the last couple of years that I've been to. So when I was recently … [Read more...]
Two separate people last week asked me for an update on my IPL facial laser disaster from last April. You can click to read, but if you missed it, I basically went for a laser treatment on my face in the spring and it did not go well. It's called an IPL and I was looking to get rid of some age spots and tone down some of my freckles. I had never … [Read more...]
I'm so sad today. My last kiddo went off to school this morning and while I've done some serious celebrating in previous years on this day, I'm only feeling sad right now. So far I've distracted myself with a 10,000 meter row-for-relief challenge at my local Orangetheory for Hurricane Harvey relief and I decided I'd do a random post with my … [Read more...]

There's a little hidden gem of a resort in the northern Poconos of Pennsylvania. It's called Woodloch and you may have heard of it if you're from the area. If you haven't been, you can't possibly understand the wonder and fun that exists there. Not until you go. And then you'll never want to leave. Woodloch is a family-run business and they have … [Read more...]

I'm not a native Philadelphian. I've lived in the Philadelphia area for almost twenty years now (!) but there's some things I've still not experienced despite their iconic statuses when it comes to this area. For example, eating a cheesesteak from Pat's or Geno's. Nope, never done it. (I don't eat beef but still, I've also never been.) I have … [Read more...]
