Why We Do a Holiday Hershey Lodge Staycation Every Year

Published by

My family was given complimentary stay at The Hershey Lodge through the Hershey Sweet Insiders 2025 There are a lot of places you can go for a quick holiday getaway, but year after year, we keep choosing Hershey Lodge. It’s become one of our favorite family traditions, and by the end of the year the kids start asking, “When are we going back to the Lodge?” Here’s exactly why this staycation works so well for us and how we stretch a simple one night stay into two full days of fun. 1. A One Night Stay Feels Like a Two Day Vacation One of the biggest secrets about Hershey Lodge is how much time you actually get to enjoy the resort.  Early check-in perks Even if your room isn’t ready, you can check in early and head straight to Hershey’s Water Works (the indoor water park). The kids love the slides, the Reese’s Water Walk, and the basketball at the pool. Honestly, this gives us almost a full extra day of fun before we even …

Why We Keep Coming Back to Jellystone Park: Our 4-Year Family Tradition

Published by

We received free lodging at this resort. All opinions are my own. Some families have beach trips. Others head to the mountains. For us, summer doesn’t feel complete without a few unforgettable days at Jellystone Park —and this year marks our fourth trip! When the boys were very little (4 and 2) we wanted them to have a camping experience. We made our first trip to Maryland and stayed at a Jellystone Park there. The experience was amazing and for the following summer we found a location even closer to home in Quarryville, PA.  What started as a “let’s-try-this-once” kind of getaway has turned into a cherished annual tradition that our kids (and us parents!) look forward to year after year. Here’s why this camping experience keeps calling us back: It’s the Perfect Balance of Adventure + Comfort Let’s be real, camping with kids can be a challenge. Packing a bunch of camping supplies, plus having to think about sleeping arrangements  and all the kitchen utensils makes you think twice. But Jellystone makes it easy. …

Decorating my Family Room with King of Christmas

Published by

Hello my friends! If you love the holidays, you probably get the urge to start decorating for Christmas earlier. I always wait until Thanksgiving and then put my Christmas tree up. But this year, I was sent a beautiful King Noble Fir Collection Set with 4 pieces from King of Christmas and got so excited when it was delivered that I knew there was no way I could wait until after Thanksgiving to display it!  The set comes with 4 pieces including a wreath, a garland and 2 table top trees and they have built in warm white LED lights and battery operated as well. These built in lights are so pretty and makes it so easy to decorate. Last year we got our first King of Christmas tree and I love the quality and beauty of their products. They offer an extensive range of beautifully crafted artificial trees that mimic the appearance and feel of real trees. So my first thought was to decorate the family room and make it extra cozy and pretty. …

Holiday Stay at the Hershey Lodge

Published by

My family was given complimentary stay at The Hershey Lodge through the Sweetest Families Blogger Program 2023. As always, all opinions are my own. Last weekend we headed to Hersheys for a sweet stay at the Hershey Lodge. It was our first time experiencing the lodge stay. We stayed at The Hotel Hershey over the summer and we loved it, but we had heard great things about the Lodge being perfect for a family of young kids. So we wanted to check it out! Check in From the the moment you enter the Hershey Lodge, you feel at home. The place is so inviting, warm, cozy and comforting. We could stay all day long just at the lobby sitting by the fireplace and admiring the beautiful holiday decoration and stunning Christmas tree. At check in you get complimentary Hershey chocolate bars and they also offer a kids check in for fun. Kids get to sign the “kids at Hershey Lodge” guest book, participate in a Hershey’s candy guessing game, and receive their own chocolate surprise. …

Our Stay at The Hotel Hershey, PA

Published by

My family was given complimentary stay at The Hotel Hershey through the Sweetest Families Blogger Program 2023. As always, all opinions are my own. If you are thinking about coming to Hersheypark and are wondering where to stay, The Hotel Hershey is the place! While there are plenty of places to stay while visiting Hershey in PA, there is nothing compared to staying and experiencing one of the official resorts of Hersheypark. You can pick between The Hotel Hershey, The Hershey Lodge or Hersheypark Camping Resort. Last weekend we packed our swimsuits and drove to The Hotel Hershey for an overnight stay. We live 10 minutes from Hershey and it was a fun way to escape for a staycation so I am excited to share a little bit of our experience and I hope I can help you if you are planning to visit soon. About the Hotel The Hotel Hershey was opened by chocolatier Milton S. Hershey in 1933 and is a one-of-a-kind destination with rich history. Is located high atop the town of …

Spring Season at Hersheypark

Published by

I received complimentary season pass to visit the park in exchange for a media coverage. As always, all opinions are my own. For many years, Hersheypark has been on my bucket list! After moving from NJ to PA on Christmas last year, I finally got the opportunity to visit the park with my family during the winter season of Christmas CandyLane. And now that I am living just a few minutes away from the park I can not wait to explore and have fun at Hersheypark all year round! With that being said, if you haven’t heard the news yet, I am excited to announce that I am one of the Hershey Sweetest Families for 2023! They have chosen me to be part of a blogger team who will be sharing all about Hersheypark experiences! Together with my family, I am hoping to be helpful in answering any questions you might have about the park and also share all of our experiences at the Sweetest Place on Earth!!! So let’s start talking about the spring …

GATSBY- Low Calorie and Low Sugar Chocolate Review

Published by

I received this product for free from MomsMeet.com to use and post my honest opinion. Compensation for this post was provided. Chocolate is one of my favorite treats and I usually like to have a piece of chocolate after lunch or dinner, but knowing the calories and the fats in chocolate I try to stay away from it as much as I can. So when I heard about GATSBY Chocolate low sugar, low fat and low calorie I knew I had to try it. GATSBY Chocolate is the lowest calorie chocolate on the market with half the calories of other premium chocolate. It was created by the cofounders of Halo Top ice cream which I love and always buy. They spent over a year working on the recipe with their experience innovating a timeless classic treat to combine great tasting with low calorie and I’m so glad for that. I think that for any chocolate lover like me, the idea of a treat that we can eat more of without thinking twice about the calorie …

A Day Trip to Sesame Place in Langhorne PA

Published by

I received complimentary tickets to visit the park in exchange for a media coverage. All opinions are my own. This weekend we took a trip down to Pennsylvania to visit Sesame Place amusement park. Sesame Place is located in Langhorne, (just outside of Philadelphia) and is a park themed entirely to the world & characters of the kid’s show: Sesame Street. Since the park is only about an hour away from our home in New Jersey we left at around 9 am (the park opens at 10 am) and got there just a few minutes past 10. Parking at the park is $30 and for preferred parking (which lets you park closer to the park) prices start at $50. We received preferred parking ticket and were able to park pretty close to the entrance! When you arrive at the entrance of the park, all bags will be checked. You can bring in water but no outside food. They will check your bags first and at the second gate, the staff will scan your tickets, and …
