The Dinosaurs Unearthed exhibit at Kansas City’s Union Station was a treat for my family. From my nephews who, at 7 and 8, think dinosaurs are the coolest things to ever walk the Earth to my daughters who, at 3 and 5, see dinosaurs as friendly creatures on Dinosaur Train, to my husband and brother-in-law […]

Savvy Auntie Travel Tips
My friend Andi interviewed me for her Savvy Auntie Travel series. Her questions: [1] If you had a childless sister (or brother), would you let them take your children on a trip? Even out of the country? For either answer – why? [2] Do you have a couple of travel tips for childless aunties/uncles? The […]
The Boardwalk Inn: Coastal Elegance at Walt Disney World
I was treated to pure Disney luxury during my “5 stars to Mickey bars” weekend at Walt Disney World. My room at the Boardwalk Inn, a deluxe resort at Walt Disney World, was incredible. Decorated in tones of pale sunshine and crisp white linens, it felt fresh and clean. The view of the boardwalk from […]
Being Productive on the Go
I call myself a “mobile mommy”. No matter where we go I’m connected. Which is quite handy as we are constantly on the go. Between travel, waiting at gymnastics lesson and school drop-offs, productive home time is short. And I’m really not good at waiting. Back in December my husband and I “broke down” and […]
Epcot World Showcase: Travel the World
Much of my “free time” during my culinary tour of Disney World was spent wandering through the World Showcase at Epcot®. I was trying to make myself feel better about not going to Ireland this year. While I don’t have a large amount of tips I do have some photos I really want to share. […]
Views from Epcot’s International Flower and Garden Festival

With Disney’s memorable characters in topiary almost everywhere you look you may spend an entire weekend trying to find them all (apparently I completely missed Tiana who was near the Test Track). The Festival includes Garden Tours (ages 16 and up, $59), […]
Avoid Sadness at the Happiest Place on Earth
Now, I’m no expert on Walt Disney World, but I just want to share some observations from my weekend at the Mouse’s House. 1) Walt Disney World is HUGE. To give you a visual- it’s twice the size of Manhattan. Without the subway. Walt Disney World has free transportation that will take you from park […]
Eating Around the Happiest Place on Earth
While my culinary trip to Walt Disney World began and ended with travel trials, what happened in between was truly magical. The fine folks at Disney made me feel like a princess and I can’t thank them enough for the opportunity! Because my trip was a “culinary tour” it began, rightfully so, with a few […]
Dinosaurs Unearthed!
It’s not often you see a T-Rex standing outside one of Kansas City’s most well known venues- and looking like he can easily stomp the school buses behind him. Luckily he wasn’t on the loose but is there to promote Dinosaurs Unearthed!, the new exhibit at Union Station. From the Dinos at Unions Staion site: […]
