Now I know you expect all things Disney and Universal on this blog, but I do go other places, honest! This week found us at our favorite costal spot, Port Aransas, Texas. Now, Port A doesn't have all the conveniences that other places have. There isn't even an HEB! In recent years, we have seen a few name-brand hotels and a Whataburger built. I even noticed a CVS this trip. But we remember the island…

I hope you have the perfect vacation but it is always a good idea to know what to do when things go wrong at Walt Disney World. You have the perfect vacation planned out. You have arrived at your resort. Everyone is having so much fun! Then... A brother has a kidney stone. Your daughter has an allergic reaction. Hubby gets the flu. The van battery is dead. And sad to say, I am not making…
I did my first ever runDisney event. And silly me, I didn't start with the 5K. I started with the 10K. That is 6.2 miles at 5 AM. A hot and sticky 5 AM. To be honest I didn't really think I was going to make it. And to be perfectly honest I didn't even attempt the 10 miler (more on that later). But I did it! I won't lie to you the first 2…
Eating at Universal Studios is definitely just as good as at Disney, but it is a different thing altogether. By the time of our trip we were visiting Universal Studios Orlando, it was just my God Daughter and myself. We had a lot of fun! Both are pretty much Potterheads, but we did enjoy other parts of the parks as well. On the last day of our visit, we were looking at places to grab…
I always pack a "hotel bag". This is a bag full of the things I will need overnight in a hotel room. So what is a hotel bag? And why do I use it? A bit of back story on me. I have 4 kids. I was in the military for 8 years and my hubby was in for 22. He had multiple mobilizations and there were many times when I traveled just me and…

Now for those of you that aren't website techie, that means that my web address stayed the same, but all my "stuff" or content is now somewhere else. The move…
