Confession, last year I forgot to take Lydia's first day of school picture.  I dropped her off, and rushed off to work.  Mid-way through the morning, I realized my mistake.  I'm not going to lie, I was PRETTY upset.  She had been in school part time over the summer, and I sort of forgot that the new school year was starting.  But when I started to see everyone's cute first day of school pictures pop up, I cringed.  I'd forgotten something IMPORTANT! We did (mom of the year over here's idea) take second day of school pictures.

But, my solution? I made a list of all the special days during the school year I wanted to document.  They're now in my calendar.  Let's be honest, otherwise….the hustle and bustle of life will take over.

🎉HAPPY REOPENING DAY TOONTOWN!!!!!🎉⠀ ⠀ W 🎉HAPPY REOPENING DAY TOONTOWN!!!!!🎉⠀⠀We loved visiting yesterday for a preview of this reimagined area.  It’s absolutely perfect for getting your wiggles out, having a picnic and yup……..getting your Disney feels fix.⠀⠀My top recommendations when visiting this new area?⠀⠀1) mobile order from Cafe Daisy…..we loved the pizza options and the cold brew⠀2) play play play in Goofy’s How-To-Play Yard, and inside his house…..⠀3) take the time to walk through Minnie and Mickey’s houses, you’ll probably see a surprise friend or two!⠀4) absolutely yes to the picnic basket from Good Boy! Grocer.  It’s a STELLAR price and a really fun experience to pick out your own snacks.⠀5) Mickey’s and Minnie’s Runaway Railway is a perfect full family ride.  I’d suggest trying for this earlier in the day if you can.⠀6) Keep an eye out for Pete, it’s so much fun to see him wandering the area.⠀⠀#Disneyland #Toontown #Mickey #Minnie #MMRR @disneyland @disneyparks invited guest
✨There’s something in my eye…….oh it’s j ✨There’s something in my eye…….oh it’s just pixie dust.⠀⠀When I think of Lydia’s earliest visits to Disneyland….I think of Toontown.  I think of Minnie’s House and meeting Mickey and playing next to Goofy’s House.  I think of the adorable landscape and the magic that the area creates for the youngest and the young at heart.⠀⠀✨Today we visited Toontown for a sneak peek before it’s reopening tomorrow…..and yup, that pixie dust definitely got in my eye.  More than once.⠀⠀Toontown is even more magical than it was (partially thanks to the addition of a cold brew on the menu at Cafe Daisy (good call Disney food and beverage team). ⠀⠀✨My favorite moments from today’s sneak preview?⠀1️⃣ we saw Pete. He’s even better than I’d hoped.2️⃣ I love love love the food options in Toontown! Highlights: the picnic basket snack option Good Boy! Grocers, the cold brew and a delicious gluten free fold over pizza (regular looked great too)3️⃣ the new play areas are amazing! Goofy’s How to Play Area is phenomenal and filled with a ton of new interactions. ⠀Happy reopening Toontown.  Can’t wait to see you again real soon. ⠀⠀Have you visited Toontown? Are you planning to come see all updates?⠀⠀#Disneyland #Toontown #Mickey #Minnie #MMRR @disneyland @disneyparks invited guest

There are people cheering you on…..and you don’t even realize it.I learned a LOT during the 7 months of training for this race.  I learned that I should stretch and warm up (thanks pulled muscle for that life lesson), I learned that small progress over time leads to achieving big goals.  I learned that sunshine and being outside makes me a happier person.  I learned that I’m more of an athlete than I thought I was. But most of all? I learned……there are a whole lot of people in your cheering section and you might not even know they’re sitting there.  After I pulled this muscle, I was amazed by the sweet and kind messages while I tried to prepare to run my first 10k with an injury.  But NOTHING prepared me for the ovwhelming amount of kindness and support that flooded into my inbox when I crossed the finish line.  From the early morning you can do this messages to the ones that came in throughout the race to the inspiring amount of support as I iced my pulled muscle…..it brought me to tears.And the amazing thing? When Jennifer and Lashawn and I found each other at the finish line….they said the same thing.  It’s not just me.  We all have a cheering section.  And wow, do they show up when you may not be expecting them.Got a big goal? Working on something new? Share it in the comments.  I’d love to join your support team.#medalmonday #rundisney
