Turks & Caicos
Two up front things before I jump in: 1. This was easily one of our favorite vacation destinations ever! 2. Along with that... This is one of the most expensive places we've traveled! We'll get into that in the post. We traveled there in March and June of 2015. There are a few different places you can stay when traveling to the Turks. We ...
Disney After Hours
Let's talk about Disney After Hours at Hollywood Studios. Disney sells a limited number of "special event tickets" at certain times throughout the year. You can use the ticket to stay in the park after everyone else has to leave. Since they only sell a limited number of tickets, the park is nearly empty, you can ride all the rides, and grabbing ...
Disney 2019
We went to Disney again! Are you surprised? Probably not. It's one of our favorite places to go as a family. Our kids are at the PERFECT Disney age. I think I say that at every age, but there is just something wonderful about walking through Disney without strollers, backpacks, or extra things weighing you down. Also being able to walk ...
Cannon is ONE!

Christmas 2018
I may be a little late to the game, but I thought I'd play a little catch-up! Christmas is our favorite time of the year, so I just have to share some pictures.

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 ...
