Day Out with Thomas: Leader of the Track Tour 2011

Thomas

My son's current obsession is trains.  He has a train set that he puts together almost everyday and will play with his trains for about an hour at a time.  He loves his "choo choos."  When I heard that Thomas the Train would be within driving distance of Indianapolis, I knew I had to take the boys.  So, a couple of weekends ago I took TJ and his cousin to Connersville, IN to see Thomas. We … [Read more...]


My Muppet Experience!

Kermit, Miss Piggy, and Me

My trip to LA in January was amazing.  From meeting Elton John to walking the red carpet the trip was packed with amazing opportunities.  One of those experiences I wasn't able to talk about until today!  On the last day we were in LA we were able to visit a movie set and watch a scene as it was being filmed.  The movie?  Well, it was none other than Disney's The Muppets!  I remember … [Read more...]


Its a Mickey Mouse Party for TJ!

Mickey Mouse Ears

I am still in shock that my little man turned two last weekend!  It seems like just yesterday that we were looking through a book of Baby Names trying to figure out what we were going to name him! Of course I had to pick the perfect theme for my little guy and he loves nothing more (except for his daddy) than Mickey Mouse!  I wanted to do something else, but I just couldn't when I saw how much … [Read more...]


My “Other” Calling

Mickey Mouse Invites

I love being a teacher, more specifically a kindergarten teacher.  One of the things I love is that I get to be creative in my classroom.  I love doing crafts (and learning along the way) with my students. If I wasn't a kindergarten teacher, I would have been a party planner. My husband told me once that I should look into getting business loans and starting up my own small business doing … [Read more...]

My Disney Weekend

Kelly Asbury

Disney really does make dreams come true... dreams I didn't know I was even allowed to dream.  I have tried to start this post over and over again for the past few days since I have gotten back home from LA.  I keep having to stop to really think through my amazing weekend and pinch myself to be sure it was real.  It was real, and a huge thanks goes out to Marshall and Dustin and the entire … [Read more...]


I’m Attending the Gnomeo & Juliet Red Carpet Premiere

Gnomeo & Juliet

I still can't believe that I was one of the 15 Mommy Bloggers chosen to attend the LA premiere of Gnomeo & Juliet.  I will be leaving the cold behind (it is supposed to be a high of 14 degrees in Indy) and heading to warm California on Friday.  We have an itinerary full of activities to keep my mind off of the fact that I will be away from my little man for 3 nights.  I have debated about … [Read more...]
