    I've been involved in PTA or Booster Clubs in some way over the last 6 years. The easiest fundraiser I've coordinated is a Spaghetti Drive Thru Dinner. Dinners were prepped late in the day of the event and placed in to go boxes. We delivered curbside to the families that pre-ordered. The...

    Fleet Feet

    It stinks that the employees were not so helpful. Fleet Feet has a huge following in my area as they are publicly active with run groups, race sponsership etc. I would be shocked to hear of less than stellar service at any of the locations nearby. If you like New Balance shoes, try Joe's New...

    Is it really worth it to stay at DLR?

    This is exactly how our family feels.. If we can't swing one of the on property hotels, we don't go and continue saving until we can. We've been 3 times staying offsite, onsite, offsite. We LOVED out first trip offsite! We had a great time, the shuttles didn't seem to be a hassle, basically...

    Question About RSR

    When it comes to race time, make sure to hoot and holler as loud as you can because the loudest car is usually the winner! My husband mentioned this theory to me and later on that same day we overheard a cast member saying the same thing to other guests while waiting in line!

    2014 Refurb Rumor?

    We're heard something similar from a cast member working the Autotopia ride when we were there last September. He mentioned changes overall to Tomorrowland and that Autotopia wouldn't be around much longer. No mention of specific theme-ing though. One of my kids love it, but the other two...

    Do you find you save money on groceries shopping at sams club or costco??

    I honestly can't say how much we spend a month as I haven't tracked that in a while, but I know my prices and I do feel I save on my staples when shopping at Costco. We buy milk, eggs, cheese, bread, lettuce, English cucumbers, bananas, and some seasonal fruits. There are also some household...

    I'm a flip flop fiend and wear them throughout the year but I'm ready to move on from Old Navy. So what are the specific style of Reef sandals? I'm looking and love the look of the leather bottom style but I assume everyone is wearing the squishier styles? Pigletto-what do you think made...

    Here is the videos to our surprise trip!

    For an entire month we tricked our kids into thinking that we were going to Hearst castle. They hated the idea. Our oldest daughter kept crying after looking up Hearst castle on the internet because all she saw was "old" people dressed up in period clothing. We tried to make them feel better by...
