When I first heard that we were having a Flashing Blinky Lights Brandcation 80's party, I was stoked!  I love the 80's!

When I first told my extended family that I would be going to Pigeon Forge with all of my Brandcation girls, my parents began to point out all of the places that I should visit while I was there.  They didn't realize that our itinerary was pre-determined (and pretty full), so they were happy to find out that I would be headed to the Titanic Museum Attraction Pigeon Forge.

How many bloggers does it take to set up a roll-away cot?

I think I laughed harder at Brandcation #4 than any other Brandcation I've attended! We laughed so hard that Lulu (Moscato Mom) commented several times that we need Poise or Depends to sponsor our next event.  We had an absolute blast! There was tons of Cabin Fever Vacations fun to be had. One of the most memorable moments for me was actually setting up for bed. Ever wondered how many bloggers it takes to set up a roll-away cot? Ha! At one point, we were so loud, that Blondie (The Blonde Critic) and Lulu had to come upstairs to find…

Being a nursing mom, I'm always on the look out for places that have accommodations for moms who breastfeed.  Aside from the awesome hospitality, Dollywood is breastfeeding friendly! When we arrived, Jenn from asked me if I noticed the nursing stations located around the park, and I went out on a mission to find them!   To my surprise, located in the bathroom area, I found a cozy little room with a comfy glider rocker in the air conditioning with a door that said "Nursing Room". On a side note, it was awesome to see some babywearing dads while I…
