(If you missed the first two parts of the big Disney series, you can read about when to go here and about staying on property vs. off here). Basically, I’m writing a series this summer with tips that folks planning their first (or first with kids) Disney trips might find useful. Before I get into tips on making traveling with … Continue reading
A couple of things: 1. Have you heard? Probably you have. Lots of times. But, just in case, Google reader is going away very, very soon. Like July 1. This is very sad, but the good news is there are alternatives! I’ve been using Bloglovin’ and, now that I’m used to it, I can barely remember why I care that Google … Continue reading
Warning: wordy post ahead. And the pictures I DID take for it, I forgot to take until it was dark out, so they suck. Sorry. oh! But then I put WORDS on the pictures to at least make them hilarious for you. HI-larious. Perhaps the times when I wish the most for unlimited wealth is when something important is broken. … Continue reading
Sometimes you come home from the thrift store with something so BEAUTIFUL that you have to write a whole post about it. And sometimes you come home with TWO really awesome things, so you write about the two of them. The other day Dave was all, “we need to get out of the house and do something; let’s go to … Continue reading
If you missed the first entry in this series on what time of year is best for your trip, check it out here. Not so very long ago, in this very blog, I said that I strongly preferred staying on property at Disney World because it’s more magical. I’m ready to say now, after our second try staying off property, … Continue reading
The sharper eyed among you might have noticed in Wednesday’s pinwheel post that the yellow is finally gone in the sun room! But you can’t really tell what color it is in that picture, because it’s so, so light. It’s the lightest I’ve ever painted a room, ever. Some people are afraid of color; I’m afraid of white walls. And these … Continue reading
I’m always on the lookout for crafts even I can’t am unlikely to screw up. So when I came across these super cute pinwheels awhile back on Circusberry, I pinned them immediately: Circusberry ….and then, a couple of days ago, I did something even better: I actually MADE some! Crazy idea, right? You pin something and then you make it. … Continue reading
Five months sounds SO big; so much older than four months. Sniff, sniff. And this past month seemed to fly by, probably partly because we were out of town for a week of it. Another rainy 17th to make photography challenging. I took a million or so pictures, but the vast majority were out of focus, owing both to the … Continue reading
What I really want to do with my life–what I want to do for a living–is I want to be at Disney World. I’m good at it. Not really. I am misquoting Lloyd Dobler in Say Anything there. It turns out that being at Disney World is an even less realistic career goal than kickboxing. But I do love Disney … Continue reading
We’ve been hanging out in the sunroom nonstop since a few days ago when we finally got it all set up with furniture. I think we would have made it a priority sooner had we realized what a lovely room it was going to be. The thing that bothers me most about our floor plan is how closed off the … Continue reading
