Mommy and Maya Vanenture Day!


The merry-go-round! We also rode on the "twirly thing" which Mommy will never, ever, never do again. I kept saying "slow down" and Maya kept turning the wheel to make it spin faster and faster saying, "it's like a space ship!". Dizzzzzzzz-y!!!
Fun at Build-A-Bear. If this is "work" doing product reviews, bring it on! Hehehe.

Gypsy Family Returns

Me and Cousin Pat at her beautiful home! Wayne, Maya and I stayed with Pat, while my parents stayed at her condo. It was such a good visit - we enjoyed every minute. I am continually amazed at how kind and funny my cousin can be!We had lunch before we left with our nephew Scott and his fiance Ashley. We so enjoyed meeting her and as you can see Maya loved meeting her little dog, Brooklyn, too!
We are home after our month long marathon traveling! Here's the latest installment from our trip out West. There are a few less pics than Disney, hehehe. Most of our time was spent happily visiting with loved family!At the airport

Last Day - *Cry*
Marissa Winokur (Hairspray and Dancing with the Stars) - one of the speakers and so kind to pose for photos!The first speaker at the conference was Maxine Clark, CEO of Build-A-Bear. She gave such an awesome speech.......very touching. There was a quotable soundbite every other sentence. Amazing woman. She had a bear/plush on every table with a princess costume and they were given away as door prizes.
"Think about what COULD be."
"One word employee training manual - YES."
"You can never have too many shoes or too many teddy bears."
"You can take the girl out of BAB, but you can't take the BAB out of the girl."
"Cute sells."A toast at lunch to new friends and the wonderful Disney company.
Debra from A Frugal Friend.

In addition to all the wonderful gifts from Disney, I won a culinary basket filled with cooking tools and two cookbooks! Even the basket is adorable.
The party the last night was at Hollywood Studios. Maya and Jenna had a blast. Jenna's mom, Maricris, writes Zen MamaVentures. Lucky for me, our paths crossed frequently and I loved hanging out with her and her family.
FTC regulations require that I disclose attendance at the Social Media Moms Celebration at Disney World. As part of the conference, I am receiving complementary items, special discounts, and other benefits so that I can experience the magic of Walt Disney World.
