Babycakes NYC SweetUp
February 23, 2011 by Kelly
A few weeks ago, after I approached the general manager, Emily, at one of the newest spots at Downtown Disney – Babycakes NYC – I got so excited to help put on the 2nd Orlando SweetUp.
The idea behind a SweetUp is to get Twitter users/friends together to enjoy sweets. Honestly, that’s it.
Thankfully Babycakes NYC is a perfect place for this.
Everyone that came to the SweetUp on Sunday, February 20th got to try a brownie bite for free and also received 10% off their purchases, which is a pretty sweet deal (no pun intended.)
From what I saw, everyone was enjoying lots of different goodies. From cookies to donuts to cups of cakes.
About 30 people showed up and it seemed that everyone had a great time!
Thanks again to everyone who came out. And if you’re interested in holding a tweetup like this please let me know – you can contact me at sweetup09@gmail.com or find me on twitter at @sweetuporlando
Please be sure to check out TheDailyCity’s video from when they came out!

Maryellen Hooper
January 4, 2011 by Kelly
Jeff works with some really great people. And one of them is married to a comedian. A very funny comedian. One that has been on tv shows and toured with some awesome people. Her name… Maryellen Hooper. Her blog… Stinky Flowers. A lot of her jokes are about family life and her kids (who knew kid jokes could be THAT funny!)
Like I told her the first night, she was one of the few, if only, comedian that we’ve seen get continuous laughs. It just doesn’t happen often.
But anyway.. before that I was asked by Maryellen to bring my camera to the show to get some pictures <which of course I don’t like being WITHOUT my camera, so I said yes!> So here I was walking about the Improv like I owned the place. People were moving out of my way so I could get pictures..”well okay then, if you insist.”
So without further ado and no more rambling.. some of the pictures I took.
Time to change outfits…. or days…
You can find Maryellen at the sites posted above and also on twitter!
The rest of the pictures can be found on my flickr page.

SeaWorld’s Christmas Celebration
December 16, 2010 by Kelly
Theme parks. Holidays. Family. They all make me happy. It’s true.
I had seen every other park at Christmas for the holidays except for SeaWorld. That is not the case anymore!!
I’m sooo glad I made this comment on Twitter because, volia! Tickets appeared! So this past Saturday, my parents, Jeff and I spent the day walking around and looking at all the fantastic lights and shows.
We took a million pictures in front of the tree and the HUGE snowman.
Then we hit up Manta. It was the first time my dad had ever done it. And my mom…well…she held everything. From the sound of my dad screaming “THIS IS AWESOME!”, I’m pretty sure he liked it. A lot.
We stood around watching penguins for quite a while. They are funny little things, without even trying. Their waddling makes me laugh. And then when they dive into the water, even better!
Since we were still waiting for the lights to come on and the holiday shows to start, we stopped in to see the seals, Kraken, Shark Encounter, A’lure and rode the Polar Express. All were delightful!
After downing a hot chocolate and bundling up, we headed over to see Clyde and Seamore’s Countdown to Christmas. I love the silly humor of this show normally and the Christmas version wasn’t a let down. So funny! And the I-4 joke… AWESOME!
We then high tailed it back to the other side of the park to see the Sea of Trees. Phenomenal!
After a refill on the hot chocolate, we got our seats for Shamu Christmas – Miracles. And what a miracle it was.
SeaWorld provided Christmas carols to be sung. Boy did my parents take advantage of this (see the video for the true fun that was had! *video coming soon*)
After a few songs.. the show started!!
I found this guy hanging out by the elf workshop – I hope he was telling them what to bring me!
Merry Christmas from SeaWorld and myself! You should definitely go check out this celebration!! You’ll thank yourself! I don’t know what kept me from this event for so long! You have until January 2nd, 2011 to see this fantastic display of lights and Christmas shows.
Thanks again to SeaWorld for the tickets!
