    Safety Tat Review: Keeping Your Children Safe #travel

    August 1, 2011 - By 

    My daughter using the Safety Tat on her arm at Disney’s Blizzard Beach recently Safety Tat goes on like a transferable tattoo but it has the thickness and texture of a bandaid Did you know that 90 % of families will experience losing a child in a public place? Almost everyone will remember the trauma of getting lost. And in the US over 2,000 kids get lost every day. In Canada, in 2009 alone 50,492 children were reported missing. When it comes to safety and public places you can’t be careful enough with children. And even when you are sometimes…

    Worldictionary App Review – Decoding Different Languages for Travellers

    July 29, 2011 - By 

    Worldictionary is a great new app for travellers and business people. Also excellent for Moms and Dads with a child learning a second language in school. (Me!) So yes, it is virtually a good tool for anyone. I have been playing with this one for a couple of weeks and thought it worth sharing here. But How Much is It? The APP sells for $5.99 and uses the camera feature on your Iphone. It provides instant real-time translation for travellers. A useful feature if you are abroad and wondering what that roadside sign in Mexico means. Worldictionary by Penpower Technology works well…

    Monday Mingle: July 11 and Driving Distractions

    July 11, 2011 - By 

    Hi there and Happy Monday Mingle. I did this one on the fly today and couldn’t recall question 2. So here is question two in  print. Q2. Where do you go to relax or have peace and quiet.? I used to go the bathroom, but my kids often bust in or slip notes through the door or holler loudly on other side of door, so no escape there. Once in awhile I now use the YMCA as my quiet place. Workout time equals quiet time. So if you see me at the YMCA back away slowly.

    Radisson Resort Orlando-Celebration

    July 8, 2011 - By 

    The main pool near the grotto with 40 foot waterslide and one of the buildings in the background. Vacation silliness and the billboard near the kiddie pool. Ping Pong near the activity area and warm pool Overview: On our second big family trip to Disney and the Orlando area we chose to stay at an economical family friendly place. Our first family trip three years ago was epic fun and really incomparable because we stayed at a Disney Moderate Resort called Port Orleans. Port Orleans was a bit more expensive than our usual accommodations, but it was Disney A+ service…

    Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil : a review and some thoughts about tipping points

    July 7, 2011 - By 

      When I first received this product from Tropical Traditions for review I was a bit taken aback. It is a jar of Virgin Coconut Oil and I will confess at the risk of sounding foolish, it came with no instructions and I assumed it was a skin care product. I saw nutritional information on the side and that made me wonder. Also the consistency of the product was well – a bit lumpy and wrong for skin care. I read the nutritional information two or three times and may have even tried to see if I could use it…
