Ever since my oldest kids were little, my husband and I have always talked about taking the kids to Gravelly Point Park to picnic and watch the planes fly overhead. It's taken us over five years, but we finally had the chance to do it a couple weeks ago.


Gravelly Point Park is located in Arlington, VA, off of the George Washington Memorial Parkway. It's located adjacent to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, with the airport's runway located just 400 feet away! Depending on the wind direction, you can watch planes take off or land.

This past Fall, my family and I had the chance to visit the Ripley's Believe It Or Not in Baltimore, MD. It was our first time visiting a Ripley's Museum and we all had a great time! (See my previous post about our last trip.) We've been wanting to go back, especially because my oldest daughter had missed it the first time. She had a field trip with her History Club at school and had to go to that instead.

Starting this Friday, June 19, a new display will be coming to the Ripley's Believe It Or Not. The Legendary Fertility Statues will be on display in the lobby. It is believed that if you touch the statues, you will be able to become pregnant!

DISCLOSURE: I received a free copy of The Ultimate Disney Party Book to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own.

If you ask anyone who knows me to name two things I like, they'd likely tell you it's Disney and parties! So you can imagine my excitement when I heard about this book that combines the two things I love!

I've thrown several Disney-themed parties in the past. This book would have been an awesome resource to have! The Ultimate Disney Party Book gives you ideas and instructions on every step of your party planning -- from invitations to decorations and food!

DISCLOSURE: I received free products from Crowdtap in order to throw a Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Star Wars-Themed Party. All opinions are my own.

My two boys are Star Wars fans. So, they were pretty excited when I told them we were picked to host a Star Wars-Themed Kraft Macaroni & Cheese  Party! They love mac and cheese!

We received a fun kit that included:

• 5 boxes of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Star Wars Shapes
• Star Wars themed tablecloth
• Star Wars plates, cups and napkins
• Star Wars tote bag
• Coupons
• $10 VISA gift card

As hard it is to believe, it's already June and summer will be here soon. Once school lets out, the kids and I usually talk about all the things we want to do during the summer. But, sadly, by the time school starts up again, we've only accomplished maybe a quarter of those things. This year, I thought if we sat down and made a list of the things we want to do, it might make it easier to go down the list and get more done this summer!
