S loves play dough and it’s always fun to make some. This time we decided to make fall scented play dough – pumpkin pie and apple cinnamon. My favorite way to make playdough is with a no cook recipe. That way S can help me, since that’s half the fun – all the measuring, pouring, […]

I just realized that I never wrote about the time that we spent at The Saguaro – a Joie De Vivre Hotel in Scottsdale, Arizona. When we arrived at the hotel we were met by a valet, who instructed us where to park while we checked-in. We were warmly greeted at the front desk, the check-in […]

10 Tips for Epcot’s International Food and Wine Festival

This makes for a fun sensory experience. We used just regular tempura washable paints and dumped in enough spices to be able to smell […]
