Disclosure: I received free Michael Angelo’s products to review for this post. Not having to pay for them didn’t sway my opinions. I bet you didn’t you know October is National Italian Heritage month. Furthermore, I bet you didn’t know I come from an Italian-American family. Yup. Don’t let my curly hair, brown skin, and […]
Win a family vacation to Wilderness at the Smokies
Wilderness at the Smokies Waterpark Resort and Family Adventure Center is Tennessee’s largest indoor waterpark and my family and I were thrilled to be invited to come check it out for this review.

Three ways to make family travel FUN #waxfan
Traveling with kids is tough. No two ways about it. But when you soldier through it and go anyway, you create these amazing memories of family fun.

The easy way I got my kids to drink milk
I love it when I come across a new “find” for families! Recently, Promised Land Dairies sent me my first ever milk delivery to review their products.

Review: Omni Hotel at CNN Center

The Omni Hotel at CNN Center hosted us by providing accommodations and a spa treatment so I could facilitate this review. I’m so glad they did!

Make the perfect summer drink with Keurig’s Brew Over Ice
I bought a Keurig single serve coffee maker for my husband last year. He loves coffee, loves the single-serving nature, and loves me for buying it for him (well and for other things).
