We went to the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta to see the theatrical version of Disney’s Mulan. And can I just say that it was like every single thing I loved all wrapped up into one?
Family time? CHECK. Theatre? CHECK. Musical Theatre? CHECK. Puppetry? CHECK! Cool Kids’ Activities? CHECK. Disney? CHECK.

Did you hear about the Ringling Brothers Circus zebra that took a walk down the streets of downtown Atlanta yesterday? No, that wasn’t a lead in to a joke. Apparently he escaped from the circus and the police had to chase him down! Wouldn’t you have loved to be the one who called that in?
We [...]
Did I ever tell you about the time I met Harry Connick, Jr.? Yeah, well, it’s because it hasn’t happened. YET. I have a long time crush on Harry and his music. I can’t remember the first time I heard one of his songs but I do remember the first time I ever saw him…
My [...]
Remember my TJMaxx Spendervention Challenge? I was given a $25 giftcard to TJMaxx and a $25 giftcard to Marshall’s. I gave the Marshall’s card to my husband. Then I challenged him to save more money than me. If you remember I saved between $78 and $102. THAT IS PRETTY STINKIN’ GOOD.
My husband is a better [...]
I’ve been wanting to teach Lydia to read. I know, she’s only 3 years old. But she loves books! She knows her letters and sounds (mostly), she even knows the alphabet in sign-language. Actually, I think she recognizes the signs quicker than the written letters! (Thank you, Signing Time!)
So, I randomly picked up a Strawberry [...]
A few weeks ago the good people at TJMaxx and Marshalls asked if I would like to help them with their SPENDERVENTION push. They said they’d send me two giftcards to do a shopping experiment. UHM. Giftcard? TJMAXX? I’m there!
So, I decided to play a little game and have a contest with my husband. I [...]
A review? A giveaway? What happened to your bloggy manifesto, Amanda? Well, I already had about 4 or 5 things to review sitting on my virtual desk when I wrote my manifesto. But regardless I would have accepted this book because I LOVE IT.
A few years ago I picked up Donita K Paul’s first book, [...]
So, a few months ago I went to this conference. When I got my sweet pink swag bag, one of the yummies inside was an entire box of Little Debbie 100 Calorie Pack Triple Fudge Brownies. I was totally excited to open up that box and scarf one down. When I opened it and saw [...]
Contest closed…the winner is Katie from All Places In Between!
When I was packing up for the cruise, I stuck a few books in my bag. I’m going to be sharing most of them with you in the next week or so. But this one book, If Tomorrow Never Comes, I was supposed to share [...]
Random House sent me a short little book entitled, Day With a Perfect Stranger. I think it was the title that hooked me. Doesn’t it sound mysterious and fun?
Anyway, it’s a small novella about a girl named Mattie who sits next to a guy on a plane. They strike up a conversation and suddenly she’s [...]
