My daughter’s and niece’s birthdays are about a week apart, and for the past few years they’ve enjoyed having a combined birthday party. So, when they told me they wanted to celebrate together again this year – with a Taylor Swift theme, no less – I was 1000% on board! The inner Swiftie in me […]

My kids often ask me who my favorite Disney princess is, and I struggle with finding an answer every time because I honestly love them all and don’t know if I could ever choose just one. Sleeping Beauty is the first princess movie I can remember watching as a young girl, so I naturally gravitate […]
Movie nights are one of my favorite pastimes with my husband and kids. When the kids were younger, they were a regular occurrence most Saturday nights, with lots of time spent carefully deliberating what to watch during the weekdays. The most memorable movie nights for me were, of course, when they chose a Walt Disney […]
These days, there is nothing that makes my family happier than a good Disney countdown calendar and a little friendly competition to go with it! For our last Disney vacation, my kids asked for a Jeopardy-style countdown and, although it was a bit time-consuming to get everything organized and created for it, it was well […]
In true “Always Disney Dreaming” fashion, I am always thinking ahead to our next Disney vacation – and a big part of my family’s trip planning is to make sure we pack plenty of shirts that show off our Disney spirit. It may be cliché, but we love a good Disney themed t-shirt every time […]
In a previous post, I shared links for drawing tutorials that my kids really enjoyed last summer. This next summer activity was a huge hit in our household; quite possibly our favorite! I considered saving it for last in this series, but I’m too excited to wait any longer to talk about it. I think […]
The first few weeks of my children’s summer vacation fly by effortlessly every year. Early morning alarms are no longer needed, everyone is thankful for the extra time to sleep in and relax, days are easily filled with activities they haven’t had the time to do during the school year, and heading to the local […]
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 […]
