It’s that time of year, all 2012 Entertainment Books are now 50% OFF with FREE SHIPPING. That means that the 2012 Entertainment books just went on sale for $15 in almost all areas (usually they are $35 so that is an amazing $20 savings). This is one of my top recommendations for great savings, especially [...]
Our family of 8 just got back yesterday from a long weekend. The timing ended up being interesting because the kids had all been sick earlier in the week and that made the packing and preparing very last minute. In light of our recent adventuring though, I have a couple tips that I think you’ll [...]
A little over a month ago my husband and I teamed up with our cousins to bring our 4 children to The Great Wolf Lodge in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. If you have never heard of the Great Wolf Lodge, you must check it out! They are a nationwide chain of resorts that are [...]
Recently it occurred to me that I actually need to start thinking about what we need to do and get for our summer vacation. Going away as a family of 8 for an entire week to the lake 6 hours away takes a lot of planning. Sure, there’s a lot of things that have to [...]
Last Summer we had a blast going to the Lake! We were there for an entire week, it was so fun and we were absolutely in Heaven! Here’s a little photo gallery to show you just a bit of what we did there.
Later this month our family will embark on our biggest family trip ever and the idea of all 8 of us being cooped up in the Yukon for a trip to the other side of the mountains where we will stay for a week has been a little bit daunting. How do I fit everything [...]
I have wanted to post this for a few days, but unfortunately haven’t been able to connect well to the blog from my iPad. So, here’s the photo gallery of just a few images I took from Butchart Gardens in Victoria, B.C. I took about 200 or so pictures while there, so I figured I’d [...]
Gone are the days where we would throw our things into a suitcase and run off for the weekend. Long gone! Now it takes a full three days to pack and prepare for a trip. That figure doesn’t even include the amount of time spent planning for the trip and setting everything up. While I [...]
Isn’t it funny how everday life can move so fast? Ok, so sometimes it isn’t so funny, but things have been busy as usual around here. Amidst the everday activities that are enough to keep anyone hopping, we also have CJ starting Driver’s Ed. and hubby and I are actually going on a vacation. Ok, [...]
Finding fun family activities this time of year that don’t depend on a certain type of weather can be a challenge. So, when we found out about and were invited to attend Great Wolf Lodge’s Snowland event this weekend we were thrilled to participate. There’s all the usual fun with the waterpark and activities, but [...]
Welcome to A Frog In My Soup! My name is Shera and I am the mom behind the "Soup" or the "Frogs" whichever you happen to be reading about. My hubby and I have been married for 18 years. We have 6 sons that frequent these pages: CJ (16), Salesman (13), Tater (12), J-Man (8) & The TwinkyDinks (or Tweebs depending on their mood) - Bugs & Monkey (6 & 6). This blog is a little piece of my life, a large piece of my sanity and even a bit of my heart thrown in. There are days I laugh … Read more
