Why Not Visit London?

New York. London. Paris. As a little kid, I was a seasoned traveler. I had visited all of these cities and more by the time I was 9. My passport had stamps from the many cities we landed in. Of course I was a young enough and security was very lax back then, so...

Eat Pray Love on DVD [Giveaway]

I didn’t start blogging until I was in my early 40s. I’ve always journalled, but didn’t start a blog until I had to do one for a graduate class. I’m no stranger to what would have been called “keeping a diary or a journal” in the Dark Ages before the Internet. Yes…I wrote in...

Stumped on a Holiday Gift?

A guest post by Tanya Tashjian It’s always difficult to think of something nice to get your parents or relatives for Easter (or Passover). Gift Baskets are the perfect thing! Gourmet Gift Baskets have Easter baskets filled with chocolate bunnies, peeps, a fluffy bunny (stuffed animal) and tons of other candy and chocolates. There...

Hop on Over to the White House Easter Egg Roll

I tried in 2008 when my son was 5. I’m not sure why I never entered before. Probably we were not available on the day. But, by ’08 I was bound and determined to enter. What am I talking about? Why, the White House Easter Egg Roll. That was back in 2008. I entered...

Holiday Gift Guide: Imaginative Play and The Costume Trunk [Review]

The costume box was THE best purchase of all time. More so than the Step2 Kitchen or the Lego sets or the Thomas the Tank Engine trains or the Fisher Price Loving Family Dollhouse. Don’t get me wrong all of those toys were beloved my kids. No question about that. Played with constantly, but...
