Woodloch Resort in Hawley, PA has been such a special place for my family over the past few years. With two very active kids playing multiple sports each per season and my husband and I both working full time jobs we are constantly on the go and have little time to getaway. When we do get away, Woodloch Resort has become our go-to spot. Destined to always have a good time, my kids beg to get ...

Walnut Street Theatre Kids Series
On a rare weekend day with no soccer in the forecast, we decided to take full advantage of the time off and head into Philadelphia with the kids. We were invited by the Walnut Street Theatre to attend their Kids Series show Aladdin, Jr.! Last winter we were lucky enough to check out Annie and it really made such an impression on the kids. For me it reminded me of growing up and being lucky ...

DIY Halloween Tees For Kids
I love having my Silhouette Portrait because I can whip up custom shirts for the kids any time I want. My kids are at an age where they want to be in line with whatever the theme is at school or the holiday of the season. This is especially true for my daughter Hayley and she is all about GLITTER.

Storks Movie Pass Giveaway
One of the best memories I have from childhood is my dad picking me up early from school to take me to the movies.

Our Winter Getaway at Woodloch Resort

Life Time Athletic Summer Camp
February is in full swing and buried inside the month dedicated to love is also a bit of panic. It's the month that I need to be sure our forms for after-school care next year get in and accepted for my son. It's also the time I need to sign my daughter up for Kindergarten and be sure she is accepted into extended day care since our town only has half day Kindergarten. Both of which ...
