If you had told me a year ago that we were going to basically cancel 2020, I wouldn't have believed you. Yet, here we are. More than 7 months into this COVID thing, and Disneyland isn't even open yet! We have been taking this as an opportunity to watch Every Disney Movie Ever Made. It's... Continue Reading →
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!
