Disney: Love It or Hate It?

March 9, 2011

Let the debate begin. Over the last few years, I have teetered with the Disney Love-Hate war.  I love the idea of a magical place “Where Dreams Come True”.  But I can’t get past the obsession with Disney characters as icons and for crying-out-loud the cost to go. How are regular families suppose to afford [...]

Knew I was in love when…

March 3, 2011

We’ve been married for four years today!  It’s been 11.5 years since our first kiss. 14 years since we first met. I knew I was in love when I was thirteen years old.  I knew I was in love when we had those awkward phone calls that tweens have. I knew I was in love [...]

Meet the In-house Entertainment: Milligan

March 2, 2011

I have a little critter that lives with me. She eats goldfish and sings Bohemian Rhapsody.  She has charcoaled feet and frequently wears her clothes backwards.  She scales the furniture and dances all day long. Well, when she’s not pooing, eating, or blowing bubbles.  We’ve grown pretty fond of her and call her Milligan.  Or [...]

Passport America Saves the Day [and other camping discounts]

February 24, 2011

When we first purchased the RV, I took the final purchase cost and divided it by 12 months.  I figured if this number was reasonable as a “rent” payment, then our purchase price was reasonable.  I mean, we are living in it for the next year instead of renting.

February 22, 2011

My goal is to expose Milli to language. Whether it’s conversing, singing, or watching a show, she is gaining pounds of knowledge about communication and expression.

RV Home and Garden Tour

February 2, 2011

So maybe we don’t have bountiful room upon room or even a garden (although I do have one seriously overgrown plant), our RV has become our perfect little safe haven. Now I know many of you like the idea of RVing but can’t imagine living in such a small space full-time. I would be lying [...]

Wait, this isn’t Florida!

January 27, 2011

When we were planning our initial few weeks of the trip, we kept saying, “We have to head south fast.  We have to get to warm weather.” While we had every right to be concerned, with pipes freezing and higher heating costs, we’ve found that being in the cold isn’t all that bad.  Don’t worry [...]
