I had heard SO MUCH about the Animator’s Palette restaurant on Disney Cruises. Boy was I in for a surprise on the Disney Dream! Last summer, before my husband and I had booked our cruise, I had received some recent gouge on taking Disney cruises from a couple of Air Force family friends. One of … Read more

| The “Midship Detective Agency” on the Disney Dream lets the kids interact with the Enchanted Art on the ship to solve a mystery. |
One of the unique features of the Disney Dream is their 22 pieces of “Enchanted Art” scattered among all of the artwork on their fourteen decks. In a Harry Potter-esque manner, random pictures on the wall will come to life! This is fun for the kids and adults alike!
I know most of you knew that we took a Disney cruise about 2 weeks ago. And perhaps you were wondering why I wasn’t writing about it? It’s because I had promised GeekMom.com several posts about our trip and I wanted to get those posts out there first. It’s easy enough now to translate the … Read more
I’m baaaack…. I’ve been VERY scarce lately since I was out of town for 17 days in January. So let’s play a little catch up, shall we? [OKAY VEGETARIAN READERS, YOU MIGHT WANT TO STOP HERE] First I want to show off our new toy, a SMOKER, which we bought with some money my parents had sent … Read more
I know, I’ve been pretty scarce. Sorry. I was in quite a funk the 1-2 weeks following Christmas. Then I spent last week in Nebraska doing some Air Force Reserve work.

Because I haven’t posted too much lately. Clerks. This is one of my favorite movies. Actually, I enjoy all Kevin Smith films and Clerks. — IMDB seems to think you need to include that period there — was his first. Much of the movie isn’t for children, but this is a more family-friendly conversation that goes … Read more
Happy New Year everyone! Our family had a fun weekend celebrating with friends and some folks from Dave’s squadron. One of his senior NCOs was promoted this week, so he had double reason to celebrate! As usual, it’s time for everyone to come forward with their resolutions. “I will eat less and exercise more!” “I … Read more
Fox hunting is now illegal in the UK, but Boxing Day is still the country’s biggest hunting day, with the hounds searching for a “dragged scent” instead of a real animal. Happy Boxing Day! I know for Americans, this is the day we get in lines to return gifts, and hit the mobs of shoppers … Read more
We had a fun couple days sightseeing and enjoying some of the local holiday traditions. Dave’s finally getting his “travel legs” back after his surgery and on Friday withstood about 4 hours in the car, to and from the Foley, Alabama area. We live about 1 1/2 hours from the Wales West RV Park…and Tourist … Read more
Why invest in those complicated key-ring-like wine charms when you might have a house full of THESE? I’d heard about it from one of the GeekMoms. I can’t remember whether it was on GeekMom itself, or one of the GeekMoms referencing another website with this idea. I went through my kids’ THOUSANDS of Silly Bandz … Read more
