2 weeks ago our family was blessed with a trip to Disney World. My wonderful brother in law gifted us with the trip this past Christmas, and we were so grateful for his generosity. Right away I got to planning. Reading blogs, books, pinning everything Disney. My mind was all about Magic Bands, Fast Passes, Memory Makers and more. I was SO prepared. OR so I thought...... It was on our second day there that I realized the one major thing I didn't plan for..... Nobody told me I needed to train for Disney. Disney is the happiest place on earth?? YES, I totally agree. Disney brings out the kid in you?? Eh, not so ... READ MORE >>
SOS! Mom stuck in the Terrible Two’s AND Three’s!
It happened, my life as I know it has changed and not for the better. It’s turned into complete and utter chaos full of screaming, arguing, “no’s”, more screaming, fit throwing and then spastic laughing. I now live in a house with a 2 and a 3 year old.

Reflection & A Red Balloon
I will be the first one to admit that I am overly paranoid when it comes to my kids. I like to think that I have gotten better over the years, but I still worry constantly. And when I say paranoid, I am talking more than the normal "mom worry". When Madisyn was little and it was just she and I, I wore a heart necklace with her name that my mom gave me.

I also used to pray the exact same prayer for her every single night. It became less ... READ MORE >>
