My first mission for Bloggers and Tiaras is to post my thoughts on Mom Beauty.  Here it goes: Before I was a Mom, I didn’t think “beauty” was something that described me.  I always thought of myself as the “cool” girl, not the “beautiful” girl.  I didn’t focus on myself, I didn’t try very hard, and I didn’t think very much about beauty. After I became a Mom, I didn’t feel beautiful... 

Last night, we went to Disney on Ice in Charlotte as guests of MomCentral and Feld Entertainment.  We had a great time meeting Mickey Mouse and Minnie!  The show was fun, the costumes were fabulous and the skating was excellent.  My daughter really enjoyed the music and, of course, seeing all of the Disney characters.  Celebrations is a show that features all kinds of celebrations.  From Halloween and Valentines Day to a winter wonderland to...

I will say that I have never been too much of a card person.  They never really spoke to me.  I am not into super sappy lovey dovey cards, because, well, I’m not super sappy or lovey dovey.  So, I distanced myself from cards, saying things like, oh, who cares if they get a card.  I have since changed my mind.  Cards don’t have to be super sappy dripping with saccharin, they can be funny.  And not nice funny, I mean really funny. The...

We safely arrived at the Country Inns & Suites in Camp Springs, MD.  It is a modestly sized hotel with a homey feeling.  The staff is pleasant and the accommodations are lovely.  The lobby is reminiscent of a living room and they have a great front porch area with rocking chairs.  The suite has a sitting room with a microwave and mini fridge and a bedroom with a King Bed.  I was happy to see energy saving light bulbs in our room and the most...
