Wherever I travel to, I’m always excited to share my vacation experiences with my people. I’m heavy on the New York travel, because I’m a huge fan of my home state.

However, I’ve covered quite a bit of my travel to Connecticut, Florida, California and Pennsylvania. Honest reviews from the heart on hotels, and food, of course. Because food travel is the best kind of travel, in my book!

It's time to plan your big vacation, which means thinking about your vacation car rental. The last thing you want to do is rack up mileage on your own car, at least that's what Mr. Sunflower says to me before I start vacation plans! Or, perhaps, you need a larger car than what you’ve got. [...]

Disney Social Media Moms Celebration is an invite only event, but you still have to pay a conference fee. It's not FREE, but it is discounted. It's an invitation many of those in my industry would love to receive, but Disney can't invite everyone. Last year's invite shocked me to no end, as I'm not [...]

I'm sure everyone out there is familiar with Universal [...]

Hell, we rarely get to vacation, let alone vacation in a high-end resort like Disney's Yacht Club Resort. Don't get me wrong, we're classy animals, for sure. I say excuse [...]
