This time it was different, it was all about the learning, tasting, and doing! New and Fun Things To Do & Eat in HersheyPark- Hershey, Pa.

Last month I was invited to Hershey, Pa. for a #SweetWelcome tour and it was everything!

Splish Splash Water Park

Welcome Summer and Family Traditions

Splish Splash is the Place to visit this Summer!

Summer is finally here and I am one happy girl! My husband and kids enjoy the summer months as well. We get to spend a lot of time outdoors in the sun and we take advantage of the warm weather by going swimming as often as possible. We all love the beach and the pool, but by far our favorite place to visit that is pretty close to home is Splish Splash Water Park. [Read more…]

Pumpkin Farms are good for the Soul

by Lily @militaryfamof8

Pumpkin Farms are good for the Soul
Since my kids were babies, I have always made sure that I do as much as I can with them.  I try to take them not only to amusement parks, but local places as well.  One of the things my 14y.o.  told me is that her favorite part of Halloween; is that we get to spend a day at a pumpkin farm.  Sadly, since living in New York,;we have not been to one yet.  So I was naturally happy today to be invited to attend The Wright Family Farm.  While we lived in San Diego we would drive out over an hour to this small Family pumpkin farm.  The drive to the Country was beautiful, but better are our memories.  So as you can imagine, I am extremely excited to surprise the kids next weekend.

Pumpkin Farms are good for the Soul

The Wright Family farm has so many things for the Family to do, you really DO need a full day!

Looking for Something Specific?

Hi!
Welcome to our little world!
My name is Lily, I am a Mommy to 6 kids; and wife to a US Navy Sailor of 15 years. We are a typical Family trying to live the American dream, and though my son’s Autism and my Husband’s PTSD and TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) sometimes try to dampen our mood; we try our hardest to push through it and keep on movin’!

I absolutely LOVE blogging, sharing our life, and our adventures; whether good or not so good.

Our Family went through what WE hope is the worst week ever a year and a half ago, and tragedies continued to hit our Family for a while.
In 4 days, our car was totaled, our house broken into, and our house caught on fire. We are literally having to start over from scratch.
