Mickey Mania!

Ah, Mickey!  We miss you already!!!  Disney is such a magical place.  I’m so glad that we had our new camera to capture as much of the magic as we possibly could!  I took over a thousand picturesduring our week away, and that’s not counting the pictures from the photo pass! The photo pass… We…

700th Post Extravaganza!

It’s PARTY time!!  I don’t think I would have believed almost FIVE years ago when I started blogging that I would STILL be plugging away and be writing my 700th post! I have to say that if I DIDN’T LOVE IT, there is no way I would still be doing it! I think I have…

The Countdown Culmination!

Our Countdown to Disney Activity Calendar was a big success!  IF… you don’t count the days we forgot to do it, OR… the days where I managed to forget to snap a pic of the big moment. It really did help us bump up the excitement factor especially as we got closer and closer to…

No, that’s not Head of Household from Big Brother.    {Oh, am I the only one that watches that ridiculousness?  Oops!  At least it’s not the Bachelorette, right?!  Speaking of BB, I don’t know if Brenden & Rachel could BE more annoying! Arghhh!  I dislike them almost as much as I heart Jeff & Jordan!} Ok,…

The Much Procrastinated Curriculum Choice

Oh my. I put off my curriculum choices for the Fall as long as I could… until the fourth of July loomed close, and I had a moment of panic that the summer was OVER and I HAD to decide already! I’m all about agonizing over making choices… a fault of mine that I just…

A Glimpse of Reality…

It can be shocking to learn our kids’ perception of reality.  Rachel surveyed her daughter on this list of things that is real or pretend and asked others to do the same. I agree with her that it is VERY interesting to see things through the eyes of our kids. So I present to you…

In case somebody HASN’T heard of Pinterest…
