I started this blog with one daughter, kept it up with the other, to spend time together doing something we enjoyed.
However, things change and people evolve. My daughters are older, busier, and not as interested in writing.
From now on this blog will be mostly mom with occasional contributions from my daughters and maybe even my husband.
Nothing else will change. We'll still focus on sharing fun places to go, fun things to do, and more, and we would  still love to hear your views too

Sunday Scoop - What happening this week or coming up soon


Purchase Trenton Thunder Tickets and Do a Good Deed at the Same Time

For every Trenton Thunder Season Ticket, Pic-A-Plan, and Mini Plan purchased between now and December 19, the Thunder will donate tickets for families in the Holiday Gift Outreach Program run by the Children's Home Society giving them the opportunity to attend a 2015 Trenton Thunder game. For more information go to  Trenton Thunder News.


What: Historic Houses of Fairmont Park Holiday Tours

Where: Philadelphia, PA

When: December 3- 30

Who: All ages

Six of Philadelphia's historic mansions will be open to visitors. Each house will be decorated in a different theme. Learn about the history, architecture, and holiday decorations of each house. You will also get a special recipe card at each house that is only available during the holiday tours. Tour as many as you like for $5.00 per person per house. Children 12 and under are admitted free. No reservations  are necessary. Free parking is available at all houses. If you go on Saturday December 6, 2014 between 10 and 4, you can take the free Fairmont Holly Trolley. The trolley will be making stops at all the historic mansions. Get on and off the trolley and visit as many houses as you like. There will also be special programs at each of the houses on that date. You will still have to pay the $5.00 fee to get into each house, however.  If it snows on December 6, the Fairmont Holly Trolley will run on December 14, 2014.  For more information  about the Historic Houses of Fairmont Park including individual house hours and themes or for more information about the Fairmont Holly Trolley including what special programs will be available go to http://parkcharms.com/.
