We're gearing up for a Walt Disney World vacation next month and I could not be more excited! That is, until I started shopping around for matching family t-shirts. With an average cost of $15 per shirt, I could easily spend $240 to coordinate in each of the four parks. No bueno!My search became even… Continue reading DIY No-Sew Disney Shirts

Labor Day Weekend at Six Flags Over Georgia and White Water
Happy 40th birthday to me!!! Years ago, we started a family tradition of celebrating my 9/11 birthday over Labor Day weekend. And we almost always do so at a water park. This year, we purchased season passes to Six Flags Over Georgia and combined my celebration with the DH's and Blinky's who have August birthdays.… Continue reading Labor Day Weekend at Six Flags Over Georgia and White Water
Life Lately and New Orleans
I don't know about you guys, but 2018 is zooming by. So much has happened / is happening, I hardly know where to start. This year I'll turn 40, and I guess that means its time for a little maintenance. I've had two minor surgeries in as many months, but I am now on the… Continue reading Life Lately and New Orleans
MSC Seaside Naming Ceremony – Day 2
So I've only just realized that my Day 1 recap was December 26th! #bloggerfail! We've been enjoying the final few days of Christmas Break.

Busch Gardens Thanksgiving – Day 2
On Day 2 (Thanksgiving Day), we were ready to go! The forecast predicted an 80% chance of rain and thunderstorms the entire day, but we lucked out with just a few scattered showers. We also lucked out with a thin crowd, and again enjoyed walking on the popular rides. The park is equally as beautiful… Continue reading Busch Gardens Thanksgiving – Day 2
Busch Gardens Thanksgiving – Day 1
We're back from a wonderful family Thanksgiving at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay! Here's our Day 1 recap. Our plan was to head out as early as possible, but had a few minor setbacks.

I made arrangements for the dog, but completely forgot about the… Continue reading Busch Gardens Thanksgiving – Day 1

I can hardly believe how long its been since my last post. Time has just been flying by and any system of organization I had has been completely obliterated. So what's been going on?
