💕Double Tap if Disney Magic Makes You Tear Up💕

This photo. Lydia planned her own outfit for our visit to Topolino’s Terrace this morning and I teared up for the millionth time when she beamed with joy taking it with Daisy. It was our last “on our own activity” before the official Disney Creators Celebration kicks off tonight and let me tell you, it was such a good choice. This is one of the BEST Disney Dining experiences I have ever had. Hands down.
.
We did the Breakfast à la Art with Mickey & Friends…..and loved seeing Minnie, Mickey, Donald and Daisy in outfits that are totally unique. Each of them dresses as an artist (a painter, a sculptor, a writer and a ballet dancer) and they spend a TON of time at each table. .
And now? The celebration begins. I’m taking the skyliner into Epcot (yes I’m braving it) for a kick off to end all kick off parties (if you’re an Epcot fan then check out my stories, trust me on this one!)

I’m so so so glad we came in a few days early before our official Disney Creators trip begins. Traveling from California is an epic journey, and we got here ‪around 7 pm‬ last night (for reference we took an ‪8 am‬ flight from San Diego and had a 1 hour layover in Phoenix then arrived to the Orlando airport ‪at around 6 pm‬). We got to Wyndham Bonnet Creek, settled in and I thanked myself for having groceries delivered in advance.
.
A few tips for WDW traveling: -have groceries delivered so that when you arrive, you’re not totally starving (man was I also glad my coffee was here and ready this morning)
-this is going to be a debate, but I’d plan to NOT do a park the day you fly in (if your flight is long). I love that Wyndham Bonnet Creek has plenty to do on property so we can spend a day or evening adjusting to the time difference and getting ready for a full park day the NEXT day. We cooked dinner last night, watched a movie, visited the pirate pool, and woke up at “normal east coast time” ready to go today. .
Today? We Epcot-ed and had some of the BEST food (major recommendation for the quick service in the Morocco Pavilion- the food was delish)
.
Tomorrow? It’s Magic Kingdom for us. So I need all your tips! What foods are must tries in all the parks? We’ll be at each one AT LEAST once more! .

One of our big goals this year is to teach Lydia to give back to our community. To be someone she can be proud of. Each month, our family is brainstorming 2-3 acts of goodness we can do to give back. Last month we donated coats that Lydia had outgrown. This month? It’s toys! We’re sorting the ones she is “over” out from the ones she still loves, and donating them to a local foster care group home.
.
And we're not the only ones spreading goodness this month. I'm excited to team up with @JuicyJuiceUSA as they celebrate the goodness in kids everywhere. To start the new decade, Juicy Juice challenged families to focus on acts of goodness. Go to their website now to see the top 20 entries being featured and vote for your favorites. The 10 with the most votes will each win $1,500 (the link is in my stories).

Comment and tell me, what acts of goodness are you doing as a family this month? #JJShowYourGoodness

✨DISNEY WORLD GIRLSSSSSS TRIP ANNOUNCEMENT!✨ .

✨DISNEY WORLD GIRLSSSSSS TRIP ANNOUNCEMENT!✨
.
I’ve been literally bursting at the seams trying to keep this a surprise from you guys AND Lydia. A couple weeks ago, I did something special with her and I’m so excited to share. I created my first big project on the @officialcricut machine that I received as part of our partnership in December (aren’t these sweatshirts adorable) and told her we were taking some girl’s pictures together at Minnie’s House during our Disneyland day. I thought the sweatshirts were the perfect excuse. And she didn’t suspect a thing.
.
Little did she know…..that right as we were snapping the photos….she was about to get some amazing news. Girls pictures. Girls sweatshirts. GIRLS DISNEY TRIP. So, now you guys know too. Lydia and I are flying to Florida ‪Saturday morning‬ to participate in the Disney Creators Celebration. This is literally a dream come true for me, something that’s been on my bucket list since I started blogging. No, Vacation Robbie isn’t joining us this time (he has a really busy season at work)……so this really is, a girls vacation. We did tell Minnie while we were visiting her house, and she said she’d see us there. We’ll be spending a few days at Walt Disney World (I’ve got some rides on my WDW Bucket List that WE HAVE TO MAKE HAPPEN) and then boarding the Disney Dream for a Cruise to my favorite place on earth, Castaway Cay.
.
The sweatshirts are coming (they’re a significant part of this story now, ha!) and I’m making a couple other pieces to bring along. Confession, I’m a total Cricut addict now and can’t believe I haven’t been making my own Disney outfits all along.
.
I just published a blog post that shares the details on how to make these Minnie Sweatshirts yourself (the design we created is there and ready to use). Now tell me, what are our MUST SEE Disney World spots? I’ll go ahead and make some themed outfits real quick…..my Cricut is powered up and ready to craft! .

✨ Disneylanders: What Land is Your Favorite?✨

Yes, either park goes. Carsland is so unique. I love how immersive it is, it really feels like you are in Radiator Springs. From eating at Flo’s to the cutest photo spots…..it has so much to offer. .
Weigh in: which land is the best?
.
Ps, this week is #carsweek (the dates are 2/8-2/16 to be exact) so over stories I’m sharing some of our favorite photo spots in Carsland AND sharing a few of our favorite Cars toys in case it’s a non-park day in your household.

👙Swimsuit season is coming……does that make

👙Swimsuit season is coming……does that make you nervous?👙
.
Let’s talk stats. Approximately 91% of women are unhappy with their bodies and resort to dieting to achieve their ideal body shape. Unfortunately, only 5% of women naturally possess the body type often portrayed by Americans in the media. 58% of college-aged girls feel pressured to be a certain weight.
.
91%. That’s just about all of us. Unhappy with the vehicle that moves us each day, fuels us, helps us achieve amazing accomplishments. Sometimes I feel like, I’m repeating myself talking about all this. Is it too much? Are people going to get sick of me talking about body image? I was reminded today that……this is my why. Why I show up here. Why I take bathing suit photos in cold water (and let me tell you this water was FREEZING). I want my daughter to have a different experience, and I want me to spend my forties loving the body that got me here.
.
What’s helped me? This place. This app that gets a lot of flack. Our community here. Reading your stories. Realizing that, so many of us feel this way. So, this body image talk? You’re going to read it about a million more times around here. Cause, we all need it. .
Now tell the truth, how are you feeling about swimsuit season? #justwearthesuit
