“There is more treasure in books than in all the pirates’ loot on Treasure Island and at the bottom of the Spanish Main…and best of all, you can enjoy these riches every day of your life.” Walt Disney Brilliant words spoken by an absolutely brilliant man!

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 […]
One of the most exciting parts of planning every Disney vacation is deciding where to stay.
