Whenever I plan a trip to Walt Disney World or Disneyland, my first thought is to figure out a rough itinerary; next, my mind goes straight to what outfits I want to pack. I look for inspiration through Instagram, Pinterest, and also knowledge of what I’ve liked on past trips. I have a few requirements […]
Updating A Small Laundry Room
For the past few years, I’ve been wanting to update our laundry room with new floors and a better layout to utilize the space.

Earlier this year, Brad and I visited Walt Disney World all by ourselves. Well, there were thousands of other people there (unfortunately); however, we were traveling by ourselves.

A Backyard Deck Upgrade
We have had a love/hate relationship with our deck pretty much since we moved into our house 10 years ago. We loved the nice big size and the view; however, we didn’t exactly love the paint. The original owners had painted the railings gray and decking red. A few years ago, we re-painted the deck […]
Rivers of Light Dining Package With Tiffins Lunch
When we visited Animal Kingdom last year with Kevin and Renee, we noticed that they seemed to be practicing for some sort of show out on the water. I later learned that they were adding a nighttime show at Animal Kingdom – Rivers of Light. As I planned our trip this year, Animal Kingdom quickly […]
