Animal Kingdom + Harambe Market

October 14, 2015August 7, 2017

Wrapping up our park visits, we spent just one day in Animal Kingdom. It’s Tough to be a Bug was back on!  We were excited to see this again because it was closed on our last couple of visits. I love to soak up the sights and scenes around this park. Our first ride was… Read More

Hollywood Studios + Mama Melrose’s

October 13, 2015October 14, 2015

Hollywood Studios is in the midst of tons of changes, but that certainly didn’t damper our fun!  A couple of our favorite attractions are here… and the fact that some of our other stand bys are not left us with time to try new things!  We spent two days in this park. Now that all… Read More

Epcot Food & Wine Festival 2015

October 12, 2015October 14, 2015

We hit Epcot on opening day of the 2015 Food & Wine Festival.  Since we had been in to the park for rides and such multiple times already, the food kiosks were our focus. It was sweltering hot – the hottest day of our trip – and insanely crowded.  I will say that it wasn’t… Read More

Epcot + Garden Grill

October 11, 2015October 14, 2015

With Epcot literally being in the Yacht Club back yard, we found ourselves here nearly every day of our visit. The character spot line was much shorter than the Disney Visa line, so we just popped in here and met Mickey, Goofy and Minnie! We also happened on Cindy and Prince taking a stroll towards the International… Read More

Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party 2015

October 10, 2015October 14, 2015

This year we headed to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party dressed as Haunted Mansion Ghost Hosts!!!  I didn’t think it was possible, but we just might have had more fun this year than in the two previous years!!! You can enter the park with a party ticket as early as 4pm, even though the… Read More

Disney’s Magic Kingdom + Be Our Guest

October 9, 2015March 27, 2017

Since it’s taken me nearly two weeks to get my trip report going and we park hopped so much, I’m going to take it park by park rather than day by day.  We spent two half days in Magic Kingdom and hit all of our favorites!  All of the decorations got me so excited for… Read More

One Room Challenge: Powder Room {Week 1}

October 8, 2015November 10, 2015

I’ve got a bee in my bonnet and its got everything to do with making over my powder room.   This is how it looked on move-in day… … and then I updated it to the current look … It’s not awful by any means.  But it’s also not what I ever wanted it to look… Read More

I was and avid reader and dreamer as a little girl I was and avid reader and dreamer as a little girl, and opening this felt like discovering a treasure chest. Honestly, it radiated just as much happiness and joy at 50. ❤️

My friend Katie recently launched @itsyourstorygifts, creating reading gift sets centered around a surprise chapter book and absolutely stuffed with bookish goodies. She sent me one of her Signature Book Boxes to experience for myself, and as you can see… it just kept going.

Everything was prepared with so much care and thought. I immediately pictured the child who would absolutely light up opening one of these, whether it arrived for a birthday, to celebrate something special, during a hard season or simply to say, “I’m thinking of you.”

I’m sharing much more about Katie, her new business and what’s inside the box on the blog today.

And stay tuned. We have something fun coming later this week!

Mahjong, but make it cards. @playhootenanny gifte Mahjong, but make it cards.

@playhootenanny gifted me their Mahjong Playing Cards, and Honey and I took them along on our recent weekend away. They’re beautiful, easy to pack and such a fun way to play when traveling with an entire mahjong setup isn’t exactly practical.

We picked it up surprisingly quickly, and these have officially earned a spot in my travel bag.

I shared more on the blog today, including a link to the set on Amazon!

This trip was never really about New York. It was This trip was never really about New York.

It was about watching two incredible kids chase big dreams, cheering them on from the front row, and soaking up every minute together.

The city was amazing… but these memories mean even more. 🤍🗽

To JB and Cee: we couldn’t be more proud. Enjoy summer in the city!
