Cruising with Disney
At the end of May, we took our most epic family vacation ever, a 14 day transatlantic cruise on the Disney Magic. We planned, booked, and saved for our trip nearly a year in advance. In that time, we’ve gotten lots of questions about the cruising with Disney. So, I’ve decided to do a series of posts about our trip. Below is a post that Craig wrote and originally posted on another blog last summer about planning our trip. In January of 2010, we took advantage of the “Kids Sail Free” program and went on a 4-night Bahamas cruise on the Disney Wonder (2nd oldest DCL ship) with two young kids (3 year girl and 2 year old boy). As soon as that cruise ended, I started looking into our … Read entire article »

Arkansas Women Bloggers Meetup – a success!
Last Sunday, the Arkansas Women Bloggers had our first meetup. It was a great event that I’m sure will lead to many more blogger get-togethers around the state. The entire two hours was filled to the brim with meeting, eating, and learning about blogging. I also got to recap the event as a guest blogger over at the Museum of Discovery’s Blog, if you want to hear more about this blog-tastic event. … Read entire article »

A Newbie’s Experience with Race for the Cure
Welcome guest blogger Stephannie Baker, who recently completed her first ever 5k at Arkansas Race for the Cure... If you had asked me one year ago if I was a runner, I would have told you that I am just not biologically cut out for it. I have always been relatively fit but not athletic. Sure, I can handle some yoga, some weight training. But cardio? Not so much. I was that girl at the gym who would run on a treadmill for about 1 minute and get so out of breath that my ribs would hurt and my thighs would itch. I really just assumed there was something wrong with me. But I love obstacle courses, at it brings some kind of adventure into my life. You will get what I … Read entire article »
