I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 22.

I feel like I never want to be older than 22. It just seems like the perfect age. Maybe 23 or 24 would be okay, too, but I guess I'll know for sure when I get to that. Anyway, I had a great birthday! Lots of little things went totally NOT according to plan (!!!!) but what can you do? It was still festive...

Merry Christmas to you (and to us!)

We had a wonderful Christmas here! Even better, Tristan and I took the whole weekend off because of my birthday (which is on Sunday) so we will be able to be together for our 10th day until Disney, which is tomorrow. Us on Christmas. I can't wait to take these kinds of mushy photos in front of the...

16 days til Disney... and Christmas is approaching!

Wow! I had about a minute to breathe after finals before I started working like a madwoman! The mall has been BUSY! It's to be expected, of course, but I still have no idea why so many people wait until the absolute last minute to Christmas shop. Is it the sales? Or are we a nation of procrastinators? 40%...

Which bag to take?

I'm stressing out about this and it's such a miniscule issue. But seriously. Someone help me make a decision! I have a major (first world) problem! BAGS is my problem! I need to figure out what freakin' bag to carry with me in the parks. I have a couple of pre-existing options, or I need to...

Happy 20 days til Disney!

Wow, time is flying by! I had my last final today which is a milestone for me, as it was my last college final of my last college class. I'm finished with university classes and now it's time for student teaching. By the end of next semester I'll be ready to graduate and teach! I'm really excited to...

Disney dining.

I've gone to Disney on the dining plan before and for someone like me, who eats like a child and in extremely small portion sizes, it is way too much friggin' food. BUT something glorious came from the dining plan when I went a few years back. We went to Sanaa (which was alright, but again I have the...

Another magical delivery! The Magic Bands are in!

Tristan and I were walking out the door this morning to run errands when I spotted a box hiding under a plant near the door- whoever delivered it hid it really well, I almost didn't even notice it. I thought it was a Christmas present as my dad and I have both been online shopping like nobody's...

Planning what to wear.

It's 31 days out and I'm starting to wonder about when is an appropriate time to start packing things away for the trip. I've put away my Cinderella carriage necklace currently and that's about it, but I have written out exactly what I want to wear on every day that I'm there. This is something I've...

Cinderella's carriage.

Going back to my Pick a Pearl post, I mentioned that I had purchased a Cinderella carriage cage necklace to place my pearl in after my experience is complete. This is it, Instagram style. I was surprised by how cute and dainty it is. I knew it couldn't be too large but with all the research I did,...

A little magic came in the mail today...

First things first, happy Thanksgiving to all and happy Hanukkah to those who celebrate it as well! I'm glad to announce that I will NOT be at work tonight for the first time in four years. I'm still working my fourth Black Friday but it's a normal day shift and not the middle of the night, crazy shift....

A Day at the Magic Kingdom in the 90s.

My first trip to Walt Disney World was in 1994, if you don't count the time my mother was pregnant with me and she went with my sister and father in 1991 (I don't count it, although we speculate that this is the reason why I'm obsessed with Disney in the first place.) Anyway, I used to watch this VHS tape called "A Day in the Magic Kingdom" as a child ALL. THE. TIME. I would watch the whole thing,...

Oh no!

After writing our lists yesterday, I was informed that there is no longer a parade at Hollywood Studios. I had never seen a parade there anyway, but it was on Tristan's "must-do" list. Neither of us have been back since 2012, so I guess a lot has changed in the year we were away! Rest in peace,...
