The idea of visiting Disney with a baby may be pretty intimidating—we definitely got a lot of “you must be nuts” looks when we told people we were taking Arabella to Hong Kong Disneyland when she was 100 days old (this was before the protests got big and before coronavirus). But visiting Disney with a […]
We have spent New Year’s Eve at Disney World in Florida and at Disneyland in California in the past, so when we were thinking about what we wanted to do this year for New Year’s, we had pretty much decided on either Shanghai Disney or Tokyo Disney. We settled on Tokyo Disney… and then learned […]
Toby and I are very excited to announce that we are expecting a baby girl, due in April 2019! We have so much to be thankful for this holiday season, but our rainbow baby is definitely at the top of our list! We thought a Thanksgiving visit to Tokyo Disneyland was the perfect opportunity to […]
Bonjour! Today I’m going to tell you all about visiting Disneyland Paris, from an American Disney fan’s point of view. But before we get started, you should know a few things about me. Those of you who read my blog, follow me on Instagram, or happened to have gone to middle school with me have […]
Many years ago — long before Magic Bands, rose gold mouse ears, and the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train — Toby and I went to Disney World. It was the first time he had ever been to a Disney park, and the first time I had been since my high school graduation. We were going to […]
We love Disney, and they have the best fireworks ever. So when we found out we were moving overseas last summer, we knew we had to spend July 4th in the most magical place on Earth before leaving the U.S. It was a fantastic trip, and I would definitely do it again if we have […]
It’s been almost 60 years since Disneyland opened in a former orange grove in Anaheim, California. To celebrate their birthday (which is actually on my birthday, July 17), they’ve spruced up some of the oldest rides, blinged out Sleeping Beauty’s castle, debuted a new fireworks show and created a new nighttime parade. And to kick it all […]
After the Star Wars half marathon, I promised myself I would do a much better job of preparing for the Tinkerbell half. I signed up for a 60-day barre challenge and started a legit half marathon training program. Then, the day before Valentine’s Day, I hurt my knee. I’ll spare you the details, but here’s the […]
Today, I want to talk about belts and mouse ears. Toby and I had been planning to go to Disneyland for Valentine’s Day, but a bunch of work things came up, and we weren’t able to go. Work (his and mine) kept getting in the way every weekend since, but we finally made it to see […]
Several years ago, after I had run a few 5Ks, I decided to increase my mileage a bit and train for a 10K. Not long after, a good friend of Toby’s told us he was going to run a half marathon to help raise money for cystic fibrosis research and the children’s hospital that Toby’s […]
