I had the opportunity to attend the newest Disney on Ice show, Rockin’ Ever After, at Philips Arena last night and it was SO good. It was even good enough to keep my 4 kids out until 9:30 at night! For a rather regimented organized mom like me that says a lot. The kids loved […]
Maria’s newest favorites
Today’s favorite person is the FedEx man. And can you blame me after seeing the great box of Aveeno goodies he brought me?
