At the risk of making complete fools of my whole family, I’ve just shared all the silly things we are somehow compelled to do each and every time we visit Disneyland/Disneyworld. I don’t think of these things as us being weird. I think of them as family traditions. I’m sure other people have to get…
It’s my most favorite time of year at Disney. Every year at Halloween the park is transformed. Not-so-spooky decor, “Halloween Screams – A Villainous Surprise in the Skies,” a fireworks spectacular (this one is my fave), and of course… Mickey’s Halloween Party! On select nights, come to the Disneyland Park in costume to trick-or-treat in the ultimate…
Living in Southern California has its perks. The beach, the great weather, and theme parks galore. We don’t get through a summer without multiple visits to the Zoo, Wild Animal Safari, Legoland, Knotts, Soak City, Disneyland, Sea World and Universal. Not to mention the State Fair. We don’t get through all this fun without the…
I always said I was “practicing” my parenting on my dog, prior to having kids. After all, there are a lot of similarities to training a dog and parenting. You have to be consistent, firm and loving. You have to establish who is in charge. You have to feed them regularly and yep, there is…

I’ve just returned from Disneyworld. It was a lovely, idyllic trip. We brought our two sons, and we left the tween/teen girls behind. People gave us a look when we first announced this plan. One of those “Are you really sure you know what you are doing with this whole parenting thing?” looks. How could…
I’m planning a trip to Disneyworld next month and it has me thinking about strollers. Even though my “baby” just turned four and almost never rides in a stroller anymore, when it comes to theme parks, we still like to have one on hand. As a So Cal theme park aficionado (and a stroller veteran…
When my girls were little we watched Castle in the Sky and Kiki’s Delivery Service. Again and again. We watched Ponyo with my 7 year old and 3 year old son. Now the whole family can’t wait to watch The Secret World of Arrietty. Even me. I remember reading The Borrowers Series of books as…
Why is everyone a little happier at the Happiest Place on Earth at this time of year? Maybe it’s because of all the little extras Disney packs in this time of year. The transformation of the Disneyland Resort into the “Merriest Place on Earth” is truly magical. The decor, the shows, the lights and all…
This past weekend I had a blast with local bloggers and bloggers from the Traveling Mom Network. We gathered at the Disney Resort to see what the parks and hotels had to offer for the holiday season. There was a scavenger hunt. It may have brought out my competitive nature. I’ll share more of the…
