If there’s one thing we parents say more than anything it’s, “WOW my back hurts today.” No matter how spritely we were before building a family, having small humans that need or want carrying and the fact that we are getting older every single day takes its toll on the long, rickety vertebrae puzzle behind […]
One of the coolest perks of entering middle school or high school is getting your own school locker. Not only is it your own secure space to store school supplies, but it’s your own private space to decorate exactly the way you want to. And this goes beyond simple stickers and plain magnets.

When I think back to visiting Walt Disney World as a school-aged child, I remember the thrill of hurtling through the darkness on Space Mountain and the hair-raising creepiness of the Haunted Mansion. You know, big kid stuff. So when I decided to take my young preschooler to Walt Disney World for the first time, […]
For Spring Break this year, we went to Walt Disney World for our second time. I wasn’t sure if there would be enough new and exciting things to make the trip worth it a second time, but I was so wrong. Not only were there so many rides that we didn’t try the first time, […]
We take so many photos on vacation, but where do they end up? I know I have boxes full of photos that I haven’t looked at in years, so I decided it was finally time to relive those vacation memories by making a DIY travel collage with a variety of photos, postcards, maps, tickets and […]
Let’s face it, moms wear a lot of hats, serving as everything from chef to chauffeur in order to make sure that each day runs smoothly. And planning family vacations are no exception—who else is going to remember to pack the extra sunblock? This is why I like to create a list of must-see […]
I was 10 years old the first time I visited Walt Disney World. I remember being in absolute awe as we walked down Main Street, U.S.A. in Magic Kingdom. The colors, the sounds, the characters—each sight more exciting than the last. In the eyes of a child, the park was a never-ending land of excitement […]
We recently returned from a family vacation, and it was the first time our three-year-old understand the concept. Watching her joy as the plane took off, hearing her squeals as she splashed around in the ocean and pool with her dad, and helping her pick out her little outfits for our activities was so much […]
Just last weekend, at exactly 9 a.m. my boys said those two dreaded words: “I’m bored.” At first, I thought about the baskets full of toys in their room, and I got mad for how ungrateful they were. In that moment, I swore I would never buy another toy again. Quickly, I got my wits […]
When I heard about the new Toy Story Land in Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World Resort (opening on June 30th!), I was ready to jump in the car right away and take my family to Orlando. My daughter is familiar with the Toy Story characters, but she hadn’t had the chance to become […]
I was 10 the first time my family visited Walt Disney World Resort. Despite being crammed in the back of a conversion van with my sister while we drove halfway across the country, I remember it fondly as my favorite childhood vacation. There’s no place quite like Walt Disney World; it’s truly magical. The streets […]
