Okay, so it’s not Disney, but it is close to my heart… last weekend I had the opportunity to participate in the Walk MS event at City Park in Denver. A few months ago a close friend was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and this was her first MS event. I was proud to be a […]

After I lost my precious puppy this summer, I wasn’t sure I would ever be ready for another dog. But with healing came a renewed sense of needing something furry around the house again. A couple of months ago we welcomed Wendy Moira Angela Darling into our home from a local animal rescue. Yes… Wendy, […]

When I was planning for my Disneyland trip, I was excited to see the new Innoventions Dream Home. But, mixed reviews from some of my favorite podcasts and websites, left me wondering if the Dream Home would be everything I hoped for. And the verdict? I loved it! The Dream Home has the kind of […]

I’ve found in writing these posts that there are so many small Disney moments that mean so much to me. When you put them all together they truly add up to the Disney experience that is so close to my heart. Last April when I was visiting the Disneyland Resort, one morning breakfast was dedicated […]

Sometimes even Pixie Dust can’t take away the pain… after six years with my beloved dog, my family had to make the decision to have her put down when she bit one of us.  I haven’t been keeping up with my blog lately and thought I owed an explanation.  Hopefully, when life gets back to […]

I always know that I can go to my local Disney Store and talk Disney with other fans/fanatics… but sometimes it’s more fun to find fellow fans in unlikely places.  I was recently working at a teacher training workshop for my company and happened to find a fellow Disney geek among the attendees.  One thing […]

Today Disneyland will celebrate its 53rd anniversary and every Disney anniversary seems to have its own vibe… its own cadence and mood.  One of my favorite Disneyland memories is of Disneyland’s 35th Anniversary.  When you are only 8, those towering “Party Gras” balloon floats are a pretty unbelievable sight to see.  I will never forget […]

Sometimes the best Disney memories are the ones created by our loved ones.  I had the chance to spend some time tonight with some of my favorite cousins.  Unfortunately, they live too far away to see too often, but that makes our infrequent visits even more special.  We were talking about Disneyland this evening and […]

When I was young I hated fireworks… really hated them… then I went to Disneyland.  When I was eight-years-old I saw Disney fireworks for the first time… I didn’t hate them anymore.  No one could believe that the little girl that cried at loud noise and couldn’t make it through a whole fireworks show was […]

Take a beautiful Rocky Mountain Saturday; a group of closest and dearest friends; a new, wonderful, politically-charged Disney-Pixar animated movie and, chances are, you’ve found a recipe for pure magic… even outside of Disneyland. While Wall-E definitely proved to be one of my all-time favorite Disney-Pixar efforts, it sometimes is the magic of the moment […]
