A few weeks ago now I ventured to a city far far away, Chicago. It was the hosting city this year for the typically bi-annual Star Wars Celebration. For those of you who aren’t avid Star Wars Fanatics (much like I was before this experience), you may wonder what it’s all about. Star Wars Celebration
Our Disney Vacation Day 4
It's the same size! Day 4 was a bit warmer than the others, thankfully! That morning getting into Epcot was 100% absolutely not fun. However they had crowd flow set up for that morning at rope drop, it took 45 mins easily to get through security and security was just about 4 people. I hadn't
Our Disney Vacation 2018 Day 3
Appreciate the comments I've received in person as people read the blog. Love hearing from you in person, or in the comments. Thank you for reading along! Day 3, after freezing the night before at the Christmas Party, we headed out to Hollywood Studios the following morning. We had fast passes for Toy Story Mania
The Eve of Another Year
Nan in the 1940's and Mom in 1957 Let's be honest, we all know one person who absolutely loves getting older. They have embraced it with wild abandon and can't wait for white hair and feel those years might be the best of their lives. I'm not one of those people. If anything, in the
Our Disney Vacation 2018 Day 2
So Day 2 we didn't have park tickets, only a ticket to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. That didn't mean we couldn't enjoy Disney just the same. In the morning we headed to Disney Springs! We had tickets to The Void: Star Wars Secrets of the Empire VR Experience! So we all went our separate
Body Image and the Lies the Mirror Tells Us
I've had this topic scheduled for a month and it's never an easy one. But I wanted to tackle it. Last year, you might recall my husband taking the scale away from me? Since then I've had lots of time to ponder body image, our preconceived notions that we need to be a certain size,
Our Disney Vacation 2018 Day 1
While on this trip, I thought I'd journal a bit. I did so good for the first 5 days, but then fatigue caught up with me and I skipped a few days. I'll try to recap as best I can! Day 1 - Mid Day Arrival. Resort Check In and Animal Kingdom Our wake up
The stress of big purchases
I'm on the hunt for a treadmill. It's not a cheap piece of equipment. In my hunt I'm torn between quality and price. I plan on using it daily, so I want something that will hold up, and last. Which honestly puts the price between $800 and $1200. It's an investment in my overall health,
Disney 2018 Part 1
I've been wanting to talk about our Disney trip for awhile, but I also wanted some time away from it. To really take it in and think about the experience. To be transparent, the best part of our trip was the company we had with us. We could have been anywhere and had an amazing
Dreams, ambition and the chewy stuff in between.
I'll be the first to admit, I'm the Queen of big ideas. I have lots of them, and I would say 80 % of the time I execute on them. I want to focus on execution of the other 20%. My husband Chris and I, along with another couple have started working on a bit
