Messages from Mickey {2011 Edition}

September 23, 2011July 28, 2015

Over the last seven months, I’ve sporadically scoured the internet and polled anyone and everyone I know that’s been to Disney for tips and tricks to making the most magical vacation possible while saving a dime where we can.  Somewhere along the way, I picked up a tip that it’s a great idea to purchase… Read More

Disney Eats

September 22, 2011July 28, 2015

We purchased a Disney package with a dining plan, and since we booked all those reservations exactly one hundred and eighty days before the last day of our stay (you veteran Disney-goers must know all about that), I already know that we will be having breakfast in our room two days while we’re there. So,… Read More

The Road to Disney

September 21, 2011July 28, 2015

In the vein of the road trip baskets I put together for the drive to Rosemary Beach back in July, I’ve been collecting inexpensive Disney themed items for the even longer haul down to Orlando.  And, after months worth of gathering said inexpensive items, I finally pulled out all my purchases and assembled the goods.… Read More

Mickey’s Matching Game

September 20, 2011July 28, 2015

I am not even pulling your leg when I say that, the very night I received the Mickey paint chip color deck in the mail from Mother, I literally bolted upright in bed when the idea struck me to make some sort of matching game out of those adorbs paint chips to help entertain the littles… Read More

Disney Memory Books {2011 Edition}

September 19, 2011July 28, 2015

From what I hear, getting character signatures in Disney is all the rage amongst the littlest of the littles.  I browsed around a bit on etsy and ebay for an appropriately themed book and came up with a couple of options, both costing a pretty penny when multiplied times two.  So, I set to work… Read More

Goings & Musings

September 17, 2011July 28, 2015

A catch all to catch up on the last couple of days…to say we’ve been busy would be an understatement. Goings GT vs. Kansas Honey and I scooted downtown for the second home game of the season.  While I didn’t see one split second of the game, I had a fab time hanging with bestie… 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!
