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.

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.

Carving Tips from the Masters Carving Station

Dolly Parton doesn’t do things halfway and neither does Dollywood. They’ve brought in the carvers of Maniac Pumpkin Carvers to share their expertise. Their creations have been displayed in places like The Museum of Modern Art and they’ve made appearances on Good Morning America & The Chew among many others. They were also winners on the Food Network competition show, Halloween Wars.

I could have stood at the stand and watched them work all day. The artistry and level of detail is awe-inspiring!
