Visiting the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis

We packed up the kids and headed to the midwest on a roadtrip to the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis. Our 9 hour road trip from Rochester, NY to Indianapolis, Indiana took us to the one of the best children’s museums in the United States. Coming from Rochester, NY...

Five Reasons to Take a Family Road Trip

As a kid, our summer family road trips were the most exciting part of summer. Now with my own family, my husband and I have embraced road trippin’ as part of the experience we want our kids to have.

Day trip to Niagara Falls USA

Growing up in Rochester, NY, a trip over the border to Canada was a pretty common thing. Living about an hour from another country doesn’t seem like a big deal, until you are old enough to really appreciate that you live an hour from another country.

Our Visit to Letchworth State Park

In a time where it’s very easy to be distracted by electronic things, I’m happy that our kids are engaged and enjoy exploration around parks and trails. Western NY is full of some of the best parks in the country including, Letchworth State Park. 

Family Road Trip to Cedar Point Amusement Park

My first trip to Cedar Point Amusement Park was a summer vacation with my family when I was about 15 years old. I was long overdue for a return visit when we decided to take our family road tripping to Cedar Point Amusement Park.

LEGOLAND New York is Open

LEGOLAND NY is the 3rd Legoland resort in the United States, joining California and Florida. There are a total of ten LEGOLAND Parks across the globe.

These theme parks were all designed with kids age 2-12 in mind. Even if your kids are not LEGO fanatics (mines are not), there is something for all adults and kids alike. You know because at LEGOLAND, everything is awesome (pun intended).

Visiting Boston and the Franklin Park Zoo

There was a time when I was sure I was going to move to Boston. I’d never been to Boston, but somehow it landed on my list of post college destinations. Boston was only 6-ish hour drive from home (Rochester, NY), 1 hour flight, a big city on the east coast and offered...

Get the Book

From a young age, I’ve loved reading and that passion evolved into a love of writing.  That passionate pursuit eventually led to earning my M.S. in Professional Writing from Towson University. In September 2015, I published my first book, The Internship Manual: A Step-by-Step Guide to Getting the Internship of Your Dreams (Divine Garden Press).

If you have a high school or college kid, this book walks them through the process of getting the best PAID internships, making the right impression and networking.

I love the color blue. My unhealthy consumption of HGTV and Food Network has led me to believe I can rebuild a house and cook a four-star dinner all in the same night. If you are looking for a writer with range, hire me.
