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 […]
One of the most exciting parts of planning every Disney vacation is deciding where to stay. Our resort of choice for the past two years, and quite possibly for our next trip to the magic, has been Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort. This resort has been a longtime favorite of ours ever since our first stay […]
In early March 2020, Walt Disney World and Disneyland closed their theme parks and resorts indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, tens of thousands of Cast Members were furloughed or laid off in the months that ensued. It was a devastating time for everyone impacted, but the Disney community is nothing if […]
Dessert is kind of a big deal in our household. I don’t think I can remember a day that has ever ended without a little something sweet after dinner. And dessert while we’re on vacation? Well, I can’t lie – we may or may not indulge in sugary treats multiple times a day. After all, […]
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 […]
My kids have loved to help me cook and bake since they were toddlers. They are becoming more independent in the kitchen lately, so I am always on the hunt for recipes that are easy enough for them to handle on their own. Rolo Pretzel Delights, for example, are a tried-and-true favorite that they can […]
In May 2012, the Walt Disney World Resort proudly unveiled the newest addition to their collection of hotels, Disney’s Art of Animation Resort. We stayed there shortly after it opened, and felt nothing short of impressed by the fabulous theming and attention to detail abundantly present throughout the property. I am fairly certain the only […]
