Christmas time is here! And you KNOW we are missing the Disney Parks... and each other. When this is the case, we are more prone to recreate the memories of when we were together.

Countdown to Christmas: Disney Edition
Well, here we are at the end of 2020. At the beginning of the year, it's safe to say that no one foresaw how this would all end. Our family was supposed to have a ton of new memories from our 15 day Walt Disney World trip in May, or the Disneyland and California Coast... Continue Reading →
DIY Gingerbread Houses
What It's All About: Every year on November 11th, since we can remember, our family has done Gingerbread Day.

The Great Disney Movie Challenge: Movies 21-30
My family had this crazy idea to watch every Disney Movie ever made. Although COVID has made this year really hard, one blessing has been the amount of family time that we've had together! We've loved (mostly) curling up together 4-5 nights a week and watching movies. Doing a family activity, snack or meal with them... Continue Reading →
Instant Pot Recipe: Disney Copycat Gumbo
Ah Fall, time to cozy up with blankets and hot drinks and soup for dinner. I was super inspired by the many posts I have been seeing about "Tiana's Gumbo" on Facebook, but it seemed like every recipe was so very different. I'm not going to lie to you... I have never had Gumbo before.... Continue Reading →

 What does it mean to Disney Bound and where did the trend come from? Disney Bound came onto the scene in 2011 when blogger Leslie Kay founded a Disney style that has since become wildly popular. She defines Disney Bound as, "an outfit, but not a full costume, inspired by your favorite Disney character using... Continue Reading →
