Well, I'm a little late to posting this, but I wanted to share a little more about our Disney Cruise that we took over Thanksgiving Break! Jared and I have been on many many cruises throughout our marriage. We love Royal Caribbean, but we LOOOOOVVVVVEEEE Disney Cruises. They literally do every single thing right. The decorations, service, ...

Visiting Santa on the Disney Cruise
When we heard that Santa would be on our Disney cruise, we could not have been more thrilled! He came out for a Christmas party, Christmas Story, and for Pictures with Santa. The kids LOVED getting to spend so much time with him! Our two took a good 7-8 minutes of his time. They had a lot to talk about :) Israel asked for a BIG T-Rex, Chewy ...
Ornament Tradition
I wanted to share a tradition that I started with Joelle the year she came home. I actually adapted this idea from my talented friend, Cara Carroll. Each year I buy the kids 3-4 ornaments that represent them throughout the year. So, we've had a soccer ball, scuba diver, manta ray, donut, pb & j sandwich, Catboy, Spiderman... you name it! I ...
Wakanda Forever
Well, Halloween came. And Halloween went. Is is Christmas yet???? Just kidding. But this family does LOVE everything Christmas related. We don't hate Halloween, but it is definitely not our favorite. The cold, rainy weather we have had lately hasn't helped either. It just makes you want to sit by the fireplace by some twinkling Christmas ...
Joelle’s Bedroom
Now let's switch gears completely... from a little boy superhero room to a BIG GIRL/TWEEN room! I'm not saying that I didn't LOVE doing Israel's room because I really did... BUT I absolutely LOVED putting Joelle's room together. The best thing is... it's 100% her personality. When we were preparing for Joelle to come home, we put together the ...
Israel’s Superhero Room
Israel would like to welcome you to his new superhero room! This past week we gave both of the kids a little makeover. We moved into our house in February of 2017 and I just never cared for how the kids' old stuff transferred into their new rooms. It just never felt "pulled together" for me. I loved BOTH of their rooms in our previous house. ...
Happy Birthday to Israel!
Well. It's official. We have a 6 year old in the house. I no longer have little ones! While I love chubby cheeks, developing language, and toddler clothes... I am really enjoying the stage of life our kids are in. Even though we've had a Spider-Man themed birthday before, Israel was 100% sure he wanted to do it again. Thankfully we have every ...
Disney Cruise Line
If you haven't realized it yet, we are lovers of Disney. I know I've said that before, and at this point it probably goes without saying. A few years ago we decided to surprise our kids with a very short Disney cruise for Christmas. We had everything planned, and booked our plane tickets for the night of Christmas. Honestly, we probably won't ...
Disney World Resorts
I've learned a few things when booking with Disney over the years. The first thing I'd say is that I almost always just use the Disney Website to book. I've learned that Disney's prices are Disney's prices and people do not really offer much discount so I usually just book with Disney. I do use a travel agent for Disney cruises and I can post ...
Favorite Disney World Eats
You know we couldn't talk about a vacation without talking about food, right? There really is something about sitting around the table with people you love, sharing a meal, and laughing together through conversation. That's pretty much what we do during meals...we laugh a lot! If you've ever been to Disneyworld you know there are TONS of food ...
