What's New for Spring at Hershey's Chocolate World in Hershey, PA

Looking for a fun weekend getaway or day trip? I'm always suggesting Hershey, Pennsylvania to people who ask me for suggestions because it's one of our favorite places. Hersheypark opens for the Spring season in April, but there's still plenty to do in and around Hershey until then! In fact, you can get great off- season rates at the Hershey resorts, and enjoy Hershey Gardens, The Hershey Story Museum, and ZooAmerica, too!

Everyone Matters: Sponsoring HEALium Hugs

March is a special month at The Jersey Momma. This is the month I pay tribute to a fellow blogger named Melissa Matters, as well as to my beautiful nephew Joey. Melissa Matters passed away in November of 2015. You might remember my post about her , when I participated in Operation Christmas Child in her honor. Melissa ran a popular blog called Wading Through Motherhood, where she talked about her adorable children and shared family advice. Her death was sudden and she is sorely missed by many. My nephew, Joey passed away from brain cancer in 2013, just shy of his 4th birthday. He was a funny, loving boy who left a huge hole in the world when we lost him. Not a day goes by that we don't think about him or wonder what it would be like if he was still here.

I created a movement called Everyone Matters as a way to honor and remember Joey and Melissa. Every March, I choose a cause to focus on as a way to honor their memories. You can read last year's Random Acts of Kindness post here.  This year I once again chose HEALium Hugs as my focus. Read on to find out more about HEALium Hugs and what they do!
