Jersey Shore Sunday

June 27th, 2010

Hey, everyone!!

Do you like roller coasters?

The Jersey Shore is known for its famous boardwalks – featuring games, rides, and yummy food. Check out this fun music video which shows off one of my favorites – the Wildwood Boardwalk.

I’ve forced myself to try out every one of these roller coasters (mostly as a teen when I didn’t mind feeling dizzy all day ) except the Noreaster. Not a fan of my legs dangling – too scary.

How about you? Do you like roller coasters? Are you fearless when it comes to rides?

Happy Sunday!

Jersey Shore Sunday

June 13th, 2010

Welcome to another edition of Jersey Shore Sunday!

Here at the Jersey Shore, there’s a debate heating up in Wildwood… Who has the best Wildwood Boardwalk Pizza – Sam or Mack?

Sam’s Pizza: Crust: thicker; Cheese: thicker; Grease: minimal; Sauce: sweeter

Mack’s Pizza: Crust: thinner; Cheese: thinner; Grease: heavier; Sauce: spicier

So who do I choose? It really depends on my mood.. If I want a thicker slice, I hit up Sam’s. If I want a thin crust, I tackle Mack’s. My dad loves Mack’s. My brother loves Sam’s. My hubby loves Mack’s. My sister-in-law loves Sam’s. As you can see, visits to the boardwalk can get very heated. Good thing both pizza shops are only a few hundred feet from each other.

How about you? Do you like pizza? If so, where is your favorite place to savor a slice?

Happy Sunday!

Jersey Shore Sunday

June 6th, 2010

I’m excited to announce a new feature on my blog –  Jersey Shore Sunday!

Most of you are familiar with the Jersey Shore because of this…

And okay, I’ll admit it, the show’s pretty realistic. But, there’s so much more to share about our shore – like local secrets, amazing boardwalks and beaches, the best pizza ever, celebrity houses (Oprah visits), and much, much more.

In fact, I’ll be appearing at my favorite place this Wednesday – at the  North Wildwood Beach Writers Conference with the amazing authors of the Kid Lit Author Club (Jennifer Hubbard, Nancy Viau, Lee Harper, Ashley Formento, and Tim Young).

The first panel on Wednesday morning is called Two Truths and a Lie and will tackle everything you’ve ever wanted to know about breaking into the biz. On Wednesday afternoon, we’ll present What’s in your Toolbox and explore Agent/Author Relationships.

So if you want to check out the Jersey Shore and learn a bunch about the biz, please stop by the Wildwood Convention Center this Wednesday.

In the meantime, I’ll be back next Sunday to take you on a summer tour of the Jersey Shore.

Thanks for visiting and Happy Sunday!
