Disney World Road Trip

March 16, 2011 by Jennifer 2 Comments

We went on a little road trip today and the girls were awesome all the way because we are at Disney World for the next week!

Stay up to date with us over the next week as we will be blogging daily on all the Disney Happenings. We are here with the Social Media Moms Conference and getting the first hand look at all things Disney. My oldest daughter M is going to be participating in a super exciting event on Saturday morning at Epcot that I cannot wait to fill you all in on.

Come along for the journey and enjoy. I will leave you with a video that I took last year at Disney World at Animal Kingdom!

Let the Disney Magic begin 🙂

Red Lobster Now Offers Healthy Kids Menus

March 14, 2011 by Jennifer 1 Comment

While I was at the Blissdom Conference in January, I was so honored to be able to speak with Red Lobster over lunch and at their booth. It was such a pleasure to talk with them about their menu selections and especially their kid menus.

How many times do you go to a restaurant and your child orders milk, but they are not able to get any refills? If they order soda, they can get a refill. This has never set easy with me and Red Lobster is stepping up to the plate to change this. This mommy is so happy!

Also, watch the one-on-one interview I had with the executive chef of Red Lobster to find out what healthy side items that kids can now get instead of ordering french fries all the time.

Big KUDOS to Red Lobster for offering these healthier selections. We were already a big fan but now you just solidified us as a fan for life 🙂

Calling All Foodies – Need Your Help

March 14, 2011 by Jennifer 8 Comments

Unfortunately, I had another attack Friday night with my stomach. It wasn’t fun at all.

The doctor has me on new meds and so far they are working, but I am still awaiting word on my blood work that was supposed to have been back this morning. I called and the tests are not done yet or at least that is what I am being told.

Gastritis, pancreatitis, duodenitis, acid reflux are just a few of the things that have been thrown at me this weekend. I was took off food till today. I am eating very bland foods today to try and not rush anything on my stomach.

The doctor has told me to avoid:

– citrus Fruits
– chocolate
– peppermint
– spicy foods
– fatty foods
– fried foods
– garlic
– onions
– tomatoes

So to all my foodie friends, this is where I need your help. I need some new recipes that would have foods that don’t involve the above foods.

You all are creative, so I know you will not let me down 🙂

Howard Johnson Giving You Tickets to Harlem Globetrotters

March 14, 2011 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Harlem Globetrotters have been such a fun childhood memory of mine for as long as I can remember. My mom and dad took my brother and I every year when we were little. It was always a trip that was filled with so many laughs and smiles that would spread ear to ear. Now, my girls have reached the age to where I can take them. We were able to experience them live here in NC last weekend thanks to Howard Johnson.

I was hoping the girls would enjoy and and did they ever enjoy it! They had an absolute blast.

This video will give you just a sneek peek on how the evening began:

Are you laughing yet? I knew you would. The whole game is played with so many tricks up the basketball players sleeves. You just never know when you will find one of the players hanging out on the goal.

Lots of games are scheduled into the game that gets the kids from the audience involved.

And… yes, there is a basketball game that is played out during all of this but just know that it is not your ordinary basketball game 😉

The whole family enjoys this fun night and it really is a family friendly show. See if the Harlem Globetrotters are coming to a city near you and join in on this fun. Also, if you stay two nights at Howard Johnson, you are able to receive free tickets.

Disclosure: Thank you Howard Johnson for the awesome tickets!

We have been huge fans of Redbox for a long time now.
