Video Tour of Dollywood’s Splash Country Baby Care Centers

My latest content is up at the Dollywood Insiders blog. See the excerpt below and then head over to read & see the rest!!!

When my little girls were babies, I always worried about outings because of the uncertainty of where I could nurse, change diapers or just escape the noise and stimulation.

There’s no need to worry about that at Dollywood’s Splash Country.

See the rest over at the Dollywood Insiders blog!

$700?!?! Our first Costco Haul!!

Y’all – we’ve joined the rest of the world and got ourselves a Costco membership. This was not an impulse decision. We went through the website with a fine tooth comb. We asked friends and family who have memberships all kinds of questions. We toured the local store and left completely empty-handed. We hemmed and hawed for a week before we decided to pull the trigger.

When we went to the store to actually buy stuff for the first time, I made sure to have a pretty thorough list because I knew it would be so easy to go overboard. We did too much research to blow it on the first trip so I wanted to have a plan.

Well, I don’t think we blew it but the total that rang up sure did catch me by surprise. Check out the video below of our first Costco haul and see how we spent $700!! Yikes!!

Lost Kids at Dollywood: My Latest Dollywood Insiders Post

Dollywood Sign

It’s a parent’s worst nightmare when it comes to taking kids to a crowded place.

What if they get lost?

It can happen to the best of us. Maybe you’re outnumbered. Maybe you’ve got a runner. Maybe you just got distracted for a minute. It happens.

With this in mind, I wrote my latest Dollywood Insiders post all about what to do if you find yourself separated from your little ones. Some are Dollywood specific and some would work anytime you’re out in a public place.

You can find it here and below I’ve linked my previous Dollywood Insiders posts.
