Road Trip Tips & Tricks

Summer time also means summer road trips! My family travels by car a lot, and I have learned a few things along the way that make our trips a little easier each time. Being prepared is key, check out these road trip tips & tricks! 

Spicy Fish Kimchi Tacos

Everyone loves a good taco right? We sure do! I love the classic beef tacos, but I also like to get a bit adventurous with taco night too! My family and I recently tried some amazing fish tacos, topped with Spicy Napa Cabbage kimchi. It was a hit!

Grand Canivale at Kings Dominion!

Kings Dominion is full of fun this summer! My family and I have been frequenting this park for the last 10 years, and our first visit of the summer is always special. This year was ne exception as we arrived for their debut of Grand Carnivale!

SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME GIVEAWAY

Calling all Spidey fans! Are you ready for this next chapter? Following the events of Avengers: Endgame, Spider-Man must step up to take on new threats in a world that has changed forever. I have a few sets of tickets to giveaway to an early screening! 

Peapod ~ Meal Kits For The Win!

The dinner time struggle is real in my house. Especially during the summer time, when all the kids are home. Going to the store and spending an hour or longer grocery shopping is not my favorite activity. This is where Peapod comes in and becomes my new bff! 

Busch Gardens Food & Wine Festival 2019

Theme park enthusiast and foodies unite at Busch Gardens annual Food & Wine Festival! My family loves this time of year at the park. Not only do we get to ride and explore the beautiful park, we also get to try culinary delights from around the globe.

FROZEN 2 ~ New Trailer, New Images, New Reaction Video!

Another trailer for the highly anticipated sequel to Frozen is here! I am always wanting more Elsa and Anna, and I will never let it go! This new clip is full of mystery and adventure. From the Academy Award®-winning team—directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, producer Peter Del Vecho and songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez—and featuring the voices of Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff and Josh Gad, “Frozen 2” opens in U.S. theaters on Nov. 22, 2019.

Join Giant, Help Support the USO!

I was honored to help support the USO-Metro last night in partnership with Giant Food at their Red, White and BBQ fundraiser event. My husband and I enjoyed a delicious dinner at Myron Mixon’s while raising funds and awareness for the USO-Metro. During the evening it was clear just how important this partnership is to Giant. 

Onward Teaser & Poster!

Star-Lord and Spider-Man as brothers? I’m in! Okay, not really. The voice talents of Chris Pratt and Tom Holland are coming together as brothers in the new Disney Pixar movie Onward.

Help Your Child Master Math at the Mathnasium!

Does your child struggle with math? Or does your child need to be challenged in math? The Mathnasium can help with that! If you are like me, maybe you are looking for something to help your child improve their math skills over the summer. Or maybe you need your child to be challenged and advance further. The Mathnasium will develop a customized learning plan for your child!

Come along with me to the learn about social media Come along with me to the learn about social media safety for teens at the @instagram Screen Smart Event! 📲✨

Instagram is making it easier for parents to feel confident about their teens’ online experiences with Teen Accounts. The Teen Accounts have built-in protections that limit who can contact them, what content they see, and how they spend their time.

Parents, set the right boundaries for your family with: 
✅ Automatic safety settings
🎬 PG-13 guidance for content 
🌙 Sleep Mode + other screen time tools
🤝 Parental approval for changes
💡 Parent-to-Parent Tip: Keep the conversation open. Ask your teen what they’re seeing online, connection and curiosity go a long way!

Online safety is so important to me as a mom. I am happy to partner with @instagram & @meta to help share this info with other parents! Learn more about Instagram’s family tools at Meta’s Family Center- familycenter.meta.com
