Last night, Disney released its latest round of layoffs. If ending the Disney College Program early and saying goodbye to some beloved smaller acts when the pandemic began felt like a slap in the face, last night’s layoffs felt like a punch in the stomach. Shows such as “Festival of the Lion King” and “Monsters Inc Laugh Floor” were given their official layoff notice. These … Continue reading Ear For Each Other
I am fairly certain that “raising your child in a pandemic” was not in any baby book I read when I was getting ready to have kids. With school approaching, I’ve found myself in a mental quandary (like everyone else). Usually around now I’m excitedly printing out those back to school supply lists but this year is a whole different type of prep. I’ve debated … Continue reading Back to School Pandemic Prep
Yesterday was the first step in the re-opening of Walt Disney World – the opening of Disney Springs. I wanted to get a first hand experience of the ups and downs of navigating Disney masked with my kiddos. For my boys, it was the first time they had done more than a car parade since mid-March and it was great to get out of the … Continue reading Your Guide to Disney with Face Masks!
I see you mama. Because I am you. Whether it was the plan from the outset or something that has evolved over time, you too have become the wife of a traveling husband. It may be that far off look in your eye as I pass you at school. Or maybe it is the way I sense your need for being….anywhere where you can get … Continue reading Sisterhood of the Traveler’s Wife
Ahhh that breath of fresh air you feel is the end of the school year knocking. I am always so sentimental this time of year but alas, I am also practical. Have you ever played one of those baby shower games along the line of “What’s in your purse?” Well I decided this week that I should be proactive(!) and dump out my kid’s school … Continue reading What’s in my bag?? School edition
I felt a prayer in church yesterday. It struck me out of the blue but not like lightening; it was more like when you see someone you haven’t seen in awhile and they call out your name. I’ve written on this before but it bears repeating- church is a trial for us. We have one sweet boy who detests coming on Sunday. Not so with … Continue reading I Say A Little Prayer For You
Pack the backpacks and lunches, it’s time to hit the new school year with the ground running. I am sooooo pumped about this year. Could it possibly be because my youngest will be THREE! Life is moving fast and I’m all about keeping up with my ridiculously high expectations I set for myself. What does that mean for this family? The summer mountain … Continue reading SCHOOL! Back to life….back to reality
The last lunch has been packed. There is only one last uniform to wear. I’d just like to take the time to say Thank You to God for another wonderful year. With each new school year, I’ve got so much excitement. I know what’s coming. I see the potential. The learning, friendships, and guidance. And as I look back I continue to marvel at how … Continue reading Thank You God for Another School Year
Fall is here!!! Yes!!!! It occurred to me as Labor Day was upon us that we had actually made it through this summer’s church services. To take you back a bit…I realized as June began that the church would be stopping nursery services for the little ones for the summer. That meant we would have to pull out our absolute “A game” for summer church … Continue reading Praise God! (We made it through summer)
With summer here we’ve got a bit more time each night in bed to get extra snuggles in. I’m always on the lookout for some good bedtime songs and thought I’d share mine with you. More often than not, I’ll start off with “Down in the River to Pray” from O Brother Where Art Thou? I typically sing half the song as it can get … Continue reading Bedtime Lullabies
