In case you don't know by now, we went to Florida for two weeks over Christmas -- and 4 of those days were spent in Orlando. We decided to visit SeaWorld and had the absolute best time. We really couldn't have asked for a better vacation -- and to think we almost...
She came. The dreaded meter reader. Every January, we sit and wonder just how severe our bill will be for the previous year...and if the monthly payments we made in advance will actually cover what we burnt up in electricity. You see, since we first bought this house,...
The Senckenberg Museum of Natural History in Frankfurt is a place that we've driven by often in the 10 years we've lived in Germany...but we never quite made it inside. It's hard to overlook the Bronotsaurus and T-Rex that are standing outside in the middle of all the...

Mackenzie is going to be starting pre-kindergarten at the beginning of November (if we get things moving along with the potty training) and we thought she would be ending up in a regular, run of the mill preschool setting down the street from us. We have two...
When I received an email from the PR department at Skin MD, telling me all about their Skin MD Natural line and their super hydrating Shielding Lotion, I was really intrigued. The winter was rough on my hands; and I'm sure that any housewife will agree that washing...
