A hundred or so years ago, I was on a track team. It was 8th grade, and I was on the "team" of kids that ran the 400. Looking back, it seems like the track team was huuuuuge; most likely a "whomever wants to be on it can participate," because I was/am a turtle runner. I won a … [Read more...]

2016 Princess Half Running Costume: Make it Pink/Blue!
I DID IT! I ran my second half marathon (and my second Princess Half!) in Walt Disney World this weekend, and it was wonderful. My first half marathon left me feeling dead, broken and just glad that I finished upright. This weekend's race gave me a new record time, was fun, and I … [Read more...]
Why Memory Maker is the Best Splurge on a Disney Vacation

Star Wars Kylo Ren Cocktail
I'll be the first to admit it. I hadn't EVER seen Star Wars Episodes 5 or 6 before this year.

6 Things My Preschooler Learned On His First Trip to Disney World
Red is only 3 years old, going on 4. That makes him a preschooler, but being the size of a kindergartener, sometimes it's tough to remember that he's still just a little kid. It's all gone so fast; these few years since he was born. He surprises me everyday with his new … [Read more...]
BOYS can go to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, too! #DisneyKids
Last week, when our entire family was invited to experience the preschool side of Walt Disney World for #DisneyKids, my eyes were opened to so many new experiences. It was Red's first time at Disney, and while I've been to the parks many times in my life (I count myself lucky!), I hadn't … [Read more...]
