What Are You Passionate About?
I both love and hate this day: the first day of a new year.
Welcome to 2020

Planning a Solo Walt Disney World Trip
After years of dreaming about it, I’m finally doing it: I’ve booked my first solo trip to Walt Disney World.
I love my family and our crazy busy Disney vacations, but this one I’m doing just for me.
