I LOVE my minivan! It may not make me look like the hippest mom in town, but when I'm behind its wheel I'm definitely one of the happiest. To me, my minivan represents so much more than just a vehicle. It symbolizes our season of life and our focus on family. I'm a mommy chauffeur and proud of it!
I actually didn't set out to be a minivan mom. When my first son was a few months old and we needed a new family car, we bought a Subaru Forester wagon. It seats 5 comfortably, which was perfect because that was the size of our family at the time (I have two older stepsons). But then I had my second...
I have never looked forward to a vacation the way I have looked forward to my Disney vacation this year. August was a blur, September is my busiest work month of the year, but then came October ... vacation at DISNEY WORLD! My son and I had a full week together in the happiest place on earth. We flew out less than 48 hours after I executed the largest conference of my career followed by six glorious park days then we'd be home the following Friday.
Whelp, that plan went out the window somewhere around Thursday morning, our last day in the parks when word of Hurricane Matthew went from "oh yeah, a hurricane could hit" to "a hurricane could very likely...

Baby's First Plane Trip {Tips on Traveling with a Toddler}
My son is active. I think he was born wanting to walk, and I firmly believe he was a difficult baby simply because he was frustrated that he couldn't get anywhere on his own. As soon as he got the hang of the walking/running/climbing thing he's been a different child. He finally sleeps at night, he entertains himself, usually by running or climbing, and he is just all together MUCH happier than he ever was as a baby.
When the opportunity came for us to go visit my sister in New York I was both excited and terrified by the prospect. My level of worry was in direct correlation to his...
