My kids are now 15, 13, and 10, and I think it is safe to say they have outgrown all things Disney Junior. What they have not yet outgrown (and secretly I hope that they never do) is their love of cartoons. Though they seldom agree on what to watch on TV, they will always […]
My kids have recently developed a passion for trivia. They always seem to be on a quest to learn new fun facts, in any way, shape, or form they can obtain them. I’ve lost count of the number of times they have checked out (and renewed) the National Geographic collection of Weird But True books […]
My kids love to paint. I like to keep a supply of canvases and paints from our local craft store on hand because of how often they paint. My daughter recently discovered silhouette paintings while browsing Pinterest, and decided to give them a try. I was so impressed with how they turned out! She followed […]
My kids have loved to help me cook and bake since they were toddlers. They are becoming more independent in the kitchen lately, so I am always on the hunt for recipes that are easy enough for them to handle on their own. Rolo Pretzel Delights, for example, are a tried-and-true favorite that they can […]
In May 2012, the Walt Disney World Resort proudly unveiled the newest addition to their collection of hotels, Disney’s Art of Animation Resort. We stayed there shortly after it opened, and felt nothing short of impressed by the fabulous theming and attention to detail abundantly present throughout the property. I am fairly certain the only […]
Although nothing compares to being on a Disney vacation, planning and counting down are definitely the next best thing! My kids love being included in the planning stages of our vacation. They enjoy helping to choose the next resort where we will stay, they each have very strong opinions about what dining reservations we […]
We each have a particular snack that we look forward to most when we visit the Disney parks. My daily must-have on vacation is a Mickey Mouse soft pretzel, with the chocolate ice cream from L’Artisan des Glaces in France at Epcot coming in at a very close second. If you were to ask my […]
I have MANY favorite attractions at Walt Disney World. “it’s a small world” will always hold a very special place in my heart, as it was my first ever Disney ride. I always have a blast on Toy Story Mania! with my family; and lately, I can’t get enough of Haunted Mansion and Mickey and […]
Our family’s first on-property stay at the Walt Disney World Resort was in 2009. At the recommendation of a friend, we chose to spend our vacation that year at Disney’s Pop Century Resort. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed everything the resort had to offer, so much so that we have returned several times […]
Four years ago, we moved from our townhouse into a single-family home. Once we were settled, we had friends over from our old neighborhood and we received many lovely housewarming gifts, including this sign: Our friends chose perfectly! My husband and I are avid coffee drinkers – nothing happens in our household without a cup […]
