The New Lightning McQueen Racing Academy In Hollywood Studios!

Disclosure: Thanks to Disney for allowing us to visit the parks for the day to experience this new attraction & write about it here for you guys! All opinions expressed are my own. We had the opportunity to check out the new Lightning McQueen Racing Academy inside of Hollywood Studios. (Located near the Rock n' Roll Rollercoaster!) My boys have loved Cars for years, so I knew this was an opportunity we wouldn't be able to turn down! This is…

My Favorite Family & Parenting Books!

I don't really know when I got into the habit of reading parenting and family books on a pretty regular basis, but these days I usually read one of two parenting books a month. What I've learned is that you absolutely have to take them with a grain of salt. I kind of look at reading them as my continuing education as a stay at home mother. I recognize that not every single thing will be applicable in my home,…

Family Vacation Unplugged, Survey Says—We are ALL Craving it!

You guys know this year, I’ve been on a journey to a more unplugged lifestyle for myself and my family.  I also know many of you are on the same journey!  Which is why I was thrilled when Alamo approached me about coming alongside them to share with you guys some of the results from their 2019 Family Vacation Survey.  The first thing that stuck out to me was the number of people who commented on feeling “always on” with social media.…

Universal Orlando Resort For The Whole Family!

Disclosure: Thank you so much to UOR for providing us with complimentary tickets to explore the park and compile an honest series of tips and tricks.Let me open by saying, WE HAD THE BEST TIME. Our kids' birthdays aren't for a couple months, but they both wanted to go to Universal Orlando Resort for their birthdays. So, we celebrated a little early. Our mission for this trip was affordability. Now that we live in Florida, it is easier than ever…

We had the opportunity to stay at the Wyndham during Spring Break week. It worked out so well as we had friends visiting from Indiana, so it was a treat to head down to Orlando for a couple days…

Tuesday Top 10: Favorite Things (except it’s Wednesday!)

It's March! I don't know if it's because we just moved in December or what, but I feel like 2019 is just whizzing by so quickly. We are in a new season around here for sure, and in just six months I will have two kids in school for six hours a day. It's different, and has really put into perspective for me how quickly time with little kids flies by. So, if you've noticed I have been around less…

Finding More Confidence!

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #DoMoreForYourWholeMouth #ColgatePartner #CollectiveBias Moving is such a hard thing to do, building community in a new community is so stressful. I’ll be vulnerable here and say it can be really easy to just hang out at home and just withdraw. This is most likely our forever home, so even though it’s tricky to put yourself out there and start to build a community.…

Tuesday Top 10: Redbox Edition

I love watching movies. I find it so relaxing, so I thought why not make a fun blog post on my favorite movies on Redbox right now. Plus, I think a good redbox at home date night is so nice when the kids have gone to bed! (Don't forget you can find find promo codes for free movie rentals online!) Be sure to hop over to Ms. Bishop's page and see what she's sharing for her TT10 this week! 1)…

Tuesday Top 10: Reading Edition

You may have noticed I've been shifting gears here on the blog: I can't even identify my niche right now. I'm in a transition, heading in the direction of simply sharing my favorite things and hopefully you guys hang around! Right now, our days are filled with school, homework, sport practices, fishing, cleaning, and cooking, I know it's not super glamorous or exciting, but it's where I'm at. I keep finding myself at the end of day thinking, "what a…
