Here’s my old gas cooktop. Probably about 13 years old (the age of our home). Replacing it was thrilling especially as I have this unnatural fear of gas. Some of my burners would become unlit during cleaning…. and for me relighting them was NOT an option. Too terrifying for me. Really. So I generally only … Read more

Mackenzie is feeling dental inspiration after her visit to the Pediatric dentist yesterday. This morning after breakfast she was begging me to teach her how to floss.

I think this is my favorite pic of my kids ever. (And I’ve got one just like it from last year too!) The charming Pooh’s playground is probably my kids favorite attraction in all of Walt Disney World. Zero lines and plenty of room for the kids to expend energy running around. It’s located just … Read more
Day 4. Multiple days of very late bed times for kids who just don’t know how to sleep in equals total exhaustion and a recipe for some cranky kids. Even Kenzie was begging for her PJ’s at 6 PM! Not to mention, the kids were totally exhausted after so much stimulation. I think there is … Read more
Day 2 with Hanes was another action packed day of fun and Disney magic for the kiddos. As you can tell from the photo the kids are all becoming fast friends. Kenzie and her new pal Natalie from I’m Not Obsessed dashed out the secret doors our guides dropped us off at behind Main Street … Read more
