As a parent we have all had those moments where sometimes we just want to scream. As a mother with two toddlers in the home, I so get it! However, I know that words and moments like that can never be replayed, can never be bought back and changed. I think I first understand this…

I’m a mom, too.
“I’ve been there. I’m a mom. It gets better. You’re not alone.” I think that may be the greatest things we as mothers can say to our fellow moms out there. I know there have been so many times where I have been overwhelmed, embarrassed, exhausted, drained, angry, heartbroken, stressed, etc. Even in the times…
Like jazz
“There is something beautiful about a billion stars held steady by a God who knows what He is doing. They hang there, the stars, like notes on a page of music, free-form verse, silent mysteries swirling in the blue like jazz. And as I lay there, it occurred to me that God is up there…
A rose by any other name
I love the names we chose for our children. The more I think about it, did we really choose them or is that who they were always supposed to be? So much time goes into picking a name. Some people have names for their future children only to find out that as we get older,…
Just a mom
“Just a mom.” What does that even mean? “Oh, you just stay home with the kids all day. Ok, cool.” Seriously? Am I the only one who takes offense to that? I think it’s the word “just” that rubs me the wrong way. It weakens the idea of being a mom; to me, it belittles…
Epcot
Epcot is more than twice the size of the Magic Kingdom. (To me it doesn’t seem like it, but it is true!) Epcot is the land of culture and adventure! The park is represented by Spaceship Earth, the big white golfball looking sphere that also serves as an attraction. The landscape at Epcot is absolutely…
Hollywood Studios
Hollywood Studios. MGM. The park with the cool hat and awesome roller-coaster. The one with Tower of Terror. Those are all correct! Growing up going to the parks, it was MGM. In 2008, Disney changed the name to Hollywood Studios, which seems more fitting, but I still slip up sometimes! Sadly, the sorcerer’s hat made famous…
Animal Kingdom
We were all bone tired by day 3 of our vacation. Magic Kingdom wiped us out, but it was up and at ’em early again the next morning for Animal Kingdom! Luckily we got to use the “Extra Magic Hours” because we stayed at a Disney Resort! Animal Kingdom had the extra hour in the…
Magic Kingdom (the most magical of all!)
I LOVE Magic Kingdom. No, seriously, I LOVE it. It makes me feel like a kid again. To me, it is the most magical of places. Disney takes the cake already, but Magic Kingdom is the butter-cream icing and magical sprinkles on top. My first tip is take advantage of the constant buses from your…
Downtown Disney
We got up early on Monday morning, having already packed most of the car the night before, and headed to Disney. (After we had to search all over town for my missing wallet…that ended up being in the kitchen in the double stroller we had taken out of the car to make room for everything….
