Not long ago, someone called @YayPlanes started following me on Twitter.
The name made me laugh, so I followed them back.
Badda bing, badda boom, shortly thereafter @YayPlanes direct messaged me with an offer to review Yay! Planes, the DVD.
Yay! Planes is hosted by two sock puppets who live in a lost suitcase.
Kicking off with [...]

Playing in the sand is good fun, but what about when it is time for the family to pile back into the car?
If you want to leave the sand at the beach or park, Sand Gone is a clever product for sand removal.
Sand Gone is a dry body powder when applied to sandy [...]

Jojo is still really into Indiana Jones, and he likes the idea of going on “baventures” (adventures).
When we were at Atlantis Resort in Paradise Island, Bahamas, he saw the climbing wall and I asked him if he wanted to give it a try.
Of course he did! And it got me out of [...]

It is hard to believe that just two short weeks ago I was on Paradise Island in the Bahamas, enjoying time with Jojo on the beach.
The scenery was beautiful, and the water was very cold!
Undaunted, Jojo played and frolicked in the surf and the sand.
The water was gorgeously clear. I can’t enjoy myself in [...]

Atlantis Resort public relations emailed me, and it turns out that they did have a few more pictures from our shallow water dolphin encounter!

Dolphin hug!

Squinting together! I bet the dolphin [...]

I went on a cruise way back in 1988, and I have often thought it would be a fun, low-stress option for a family vacation.
However, I don’t know anything about how to get the most for my money, or how to find the type of cruise that would be best for us.
Wouldn’t you know, there [...]

Until now, I haven’t really considered taking my family to a theme park.
There are pros out there, like Theme Park Mom, but I haven’t had the courage to subject myself to a theme park with my two preschoolers.
However, I’m convinced that Jojo, age 5, would have a fabulous time at a place like Walt Disney [...]

Jojo and I got to experience the Shallow Water Dolphin Encounter at Atlantis Resort, Paradise Island, Bahamas.
We got to pet the dolphin and even hug and kiss it. Truthfully I passed on the kisses, but Jojo had stars in his eyes.
We suited up in Atlantis Resort wet suits, and Jojo started being a dolphin himself, [...]
