Not too long ago, I was invited to a media preview at Splashdown Beach in Fishkill, NY for the unveiling of their new Bob the Builder Splashworks section. Splashdown Beach is America's biggest little Waterpark located approximately 90 minutes away from New York City and 90 minutes away from Albany, NY. It's a fun adventure getaway for the whole family. Bob the Builder Splashworks is a 1,600-square-foot Bob the Builder themed spray and play area. It's the first, permanent play place at any … [Read more...]

April 6, 2011 by 1 Comment
Did you hear the big news from the Disney Cruise Line? Thank goodness I get updated emails from Disney Cruise Line because I'm what they call a "Silver Castaway member", having sailed back in 2002. They have announced they will be sailing from the Big Apple aka New York City, Galveston, Texas, Seattle and Los Angeles, California next Spring! That's right folks, in 2012. Being a New Yorker, I am ecstatic that Disney will be sailing from New York City, which means no airfare for many people. … [Read more...]

Next week, I will be in Orlando for my second blog conference, the Disney Social Media Moms Conference. I'll be in Orlando for 4 days and I'm so excited to go.

I'm so ready to network, meet other bloggers and spend some time at the greatest place on earth, Walt Disney World.

February 4, 2011 by Leave a Comment
A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of speaking with Amy Tara Koch, a former trend reporter for NBC and author of the popular pregnancy style book – Bump It Up: Transform Your Pregnancy into the Ultimate Style Statement about traveling tips in the Winter months.

January 21, 2011 Today's the day! I'm on my way to Hollywood! My day started at 4 am - not an easy task when sleep is a top priority.

I’m Attending The Gnomeo and Juliet Red Carpet Premiere in HOLLYWOOD!
January 20, 2011 by Leave a Comment
I cannot believe I'll be leaving tomorrow morning on a jet-plane to go across the country to California -- by myself! Is this a dream? Not anymore! ;) A few weeks ago I received an email from Disney inviting me to the Red Carpet Premiere for Gnomeo and Juliet. It couldn't have come at a better time because it was right after Christmas. What a way to start the new year! The email stated that it will be an all-expense paid trip to Hollywood, California filled with a busy schedule of … [Read more...]
Special K Resolution Challenge: I Stepped on a Scale in Times Square!
January 9, 2011 by 10 Comments
Yes, I did. For once this wasn't your typical scale with numbers that tell you your weight -- instead it was a scale that showed each individual inspirational words or phrases. Now if it were a "real" scale with numbers, then that would be a whole other story but it wasn't so bad stepping on a scale in front of people in Times Square. It was quite liberating to be honest. The Special K Team was there to launch their "What will you gain when you lose" campaign to help women get inspired … [Read more...]
