Riviera Bowl
Around my hometown of Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, the only way you can get into a bowling alley is if you join a league. Since I’m not that good at bowling, this is out of the question.
That’s why, when I was in Sauk City, Wisconsin a couple of weeks ago, …

Calgary Public Library
I was never much of a library user in my younger days. If there was a particular book I wanted to read, I’d probably just go out and buy it. Now that I’m married and have kids, I can definitely not afford to just go out and …

Wild Adventures Theme Park

Scotty Cameron Kombi Putter
This is the first time I’ve ever seen the Scotty Cameron Kombi putter.

Man this is fun to the max!! Of course, you always stand in a line at Disney World unless you have a fast pass, but it sure is worth it. The Disney staff puts 8 people in a log boat. I sat with my husband, of course. …

Forever Flawless Salon, SM SuperCenter, Muntinlupa City branch

“The Shangri-la”: Sagada Mountain Province

Center Parcs, Elveden Forest
A holiday the British weather can’t spoil. I also guarantee you will feel, and perhaps even act, like a kid again.

Wenzel Klondike 16′ X 11′ Tent

Paradise Banquet Hall
I’ve been there once for my school prom. The outside was kind of ugly; like the doors were plain and it doesn’t suit the “prom”-style where everythign should be glamorous. It was next to a small creek with a bride and some “greek” style ruins. But I didn’t really …
Morton Arboretum Lisle IL
I took my 4-year-old and 10-month-old to the Morton Arboretum the other day.
