Camp Mom is in full effect in the Smith household! I do have the kids signed up for some church camps and a few weeks at the Carl E. Sanders YMCA, but this is still a summer where I am the lead camp counselor for my four kiddos. And while that’s great…it’s a lot of […]
Win $3000 worth of family friendly items from Red Tricyle Atlanta
Enter this great giveaway! I’m all about giveaways. They are easy to enter and (not that I want to brag) but I win pretty often. So when my friends at Red Tricycle Atlanta told me about their Big Peach giveaway to celebrate their launch in the ATL, I had to tell you about it. Sure, […]
I’m the Mom who didn’t plan a 1st birthday party
I had a recent case of mommy guilt that I just had to share. Most times those guilt pangs are mostly in my head and outsiders can tell me to let go of whatever I’m worrying about. But today was different. You see yesterday was my baby’s first birthday. And I did nothing. [insert gasp] […]
Three tips to survive the rain at Disney World
Rain. It ruins my blowouts, cancels my plans, and makes my otherwise cute clothes inappropriate. It can be so…annoying. And if there’s one place where I can expect to see a thundershower or two is at Walt Disney World. I recently returned from the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration held there and sure enough, it rained. But […]

Who has the best dessert in Atlanta? I know!
My mom, grandma & sisters & I circa 1982 I’m adopted. It’s not hard to figure that out when you look at a picture of my family. I was in the foster care system for about three months until my parents welcomed me into their family. (Their second adoption in 18 months.) Since I have […]

The Smith family is on the road again! This time we are heading down to the Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort and Spa near Jacksonville. My kids have been bugging me to go to the beach and so when my friends at the Sawgrass Marriott invited us down to check it out, I jumped at the […]
My super hero-in-training and Matchbox cars
I’m a boy mom. Sure I do have one girl but with three boys in the house I have cars, planes, trains, and all sorts of vehicles littering my house. When potty training my boys, their reward for staying dry was to be able to pick out a new Matchbox car. They LOVE that. (And […]
