Disney: The Most Overwhelming Place on Earth

Disney: The Most Overwhelming Place on Earth

We have now taken our girls to Disney World twice - once in 2018 as youngins’ and once this past April 2022 as older, school aged kids.

It truly is magical to take your family to Disney. It’s also truly stressful. You will set alarms. You will wait on lines. You will push through crowds to get places. You will battle your cranky, overtired kids. You will probably also cry yourself. And yet there are many reasons why millions of guests come back year after year.

No matter what type of Disney guest you are, there is a lot to know before you head to Disney. I would NOT advise anyone, even the largest of procrastinators, to just “wing it” at Disney. There are many Disney oriented blogs and I am not one of those. But hopefully the below tips and personal favorites will help folks parse through the Black Hole that is Disney trip planning.

Five Fall Activities That Are Not Cancelled for 2020

Five Fall Activities That Are Not Cancelled for 2020

2020. Nothing is business as usual. Up is now down and down is now up. And there sure is a lot of anxiety right now as we face the return to school and to colder, harsher weather.

Fall is normally my absolute favorite season and it’s definitely a bummer that several of the usual autumn activities are canceled this year. But there is still some fall fun to be had - just this year, in a mask and 6 feet away from the next family.

I Love Halloween!

I Love Halloween!

Halloween might be my favorite holiday. No, I'm not one of those old folks who still loves to get dressed up - but I think it is so much fun seeing my kiddies get excited to pick out costumes, and run around like crazy persons in pursuit of free candy. As they get a bit older, it'll be cool to add some haunted houses to our Halloween rotation. Basically, I gotta take it all in before they learn that Halloween also means sexy costumes and keg stands. 

On that note - here are some great Halloween celebrations happening in our area!

PEZ Are Made in CT!

PEZ Are Made in CT!

I only learned recently that PEZ Candies are made less than an hour from my house! Not only that, but there’s a PEZ Visitor Center with fun goings on less than an hour from my house! The good news for me is that I don’t eat candies that aren’t made of chocolate. The bad news for me is that the same does not apply to my kids. They love PEZ and so, off we went recently to check out the PEZ Visitor Center in Orange, CT.
