Disneyland in Pictures
A family vacation to Disneyland was the BIG Christmas gift this year. Scott had to be there for work, so we, of course, tagged along. The parks are pretty impossible to compare in terms of which is better. Disneyland is much smaller, but much more historical and interesting. They have a great nighttime parade, Paint…

Here’s why the Post Office is struggling…
The strangest thing has happened to me – and I feel the need to share it because I don’t know what else to do. This situation has me bouncing between laughter and anger…so I share in search of help. As previously blogged about, I have an obsession with Disney Starbucks mugs. My dear friend in…
Coffee Mug Holder – Starbucks Obsession
I’m super excited to say that our kitchen renovation is ALMOST finished. So close – but not quite there yet. I’m excited to share pictures as soon as it’s done – and even invite people over! I’m not embarrassed of our house anymore!!! In the meantime, I needed to add a way to display my…
Sushi obsessed – Disney’s Polynesian Resort
My favorite place to eat at Walt Disney World has gotten even better. It’s a small, tucked-away spot that most people glance over, but it’s a hidden gem of delicious goodness. I’m talking about Kona Island at Disney’s Polynesian Resort. To the untrained eye, it looks like a stand to get coffee and pastries. And…
My boy has become a guy
I really don’t know when it all happened. There was a time, not that long ago, where my children would be mildly interested in sports and sport news, but would rather play with toys. Suddenly, my oldest, who is now 11 and in the 6th grade, has become sports obsessed. It’s kind of awesome, and…
St. Patrick’s Day 2014 at Downtown Disney
St. Patrick’s Day is a big-deal holiday in our house. My grandparents would get really into it and I think celebrating now just reminds us of them. It also helps coming from Chicago where the river turns green and the parade is a big event! The day starts with a visit by the Leprechauns. Think…
“I’m Going to Disney World!”
It’s really one of my favorite parts of the Super Bowl – the MVP saying “I’m Going to Disney World.” It gives me goosebumps every time I see the commercial. I also love that I know the people making it. It’s amazing to think about all the work that goes into making that one moment…
Disney College Program – Friends for Life
I first moved to Florida in 1997 from Michigan. I drove down with a guy I barely knew, heading to a job I had no idea about, to live with five other girls, all strangers. Flash forward almost 17 years (wait – is that math correct?! DAMN!!!) and it’s amazing the friendships and bonds made…
