Today (7/30/12) is National Cheesecake Day! Andy’s family doesn’t call them cheesecakes, though They call them cream cheese pie, and Andy prefers his with a hint of lemon in the actual pie and no toppings. (Of course I don’t have a picture of it, so I borrowed one from kraftrecipes.com where you can find another…
“Dr. Jones! NO MORE PARACHUTES!” Yes, that’s what we hear around our house when we’re waiting for someone to arrive. It’s our boys’ code for “THEY’RE HERE!” Why, I don’t know. They’re just geeks like that! My boys are going to FLIP OUT when I come back from Brandcation in October with pictures of myself…
I love history. I love to compare the times and look at where we (as a country) were as well as where we are now. Times have changed, but that doesn’t make our history any less relevant. To add to our awesome itinerary at Brandcation this October is to take a tour of and eat lunch at…

My kids are really missing out. Growing up, I remember, even though we moved several times, almost all of our bathtubs has slides on the back. You know what I’m talking about! Where you rest your back on the tub, there was just enough slant that, as a child, you could put your rear at…
This summer, it was nice to be able to go on a vacation and not stay in a small house or hotel. We went to South Padre Island and stayed in a very nice and very large house for our family of 14! The quarters were very close, but we had a great time. This…
I am a Brandcation Lifer! There are a few of us who have attended all of the Brandfluential: Brandcation events, and we will continue to do so as long as we’re able (and quick enough to get a ticket) in the future! I’m especially excited, this time, because we’ll be headed out to Pigeon Forge,…
