This is less of a vacation post and more of a birthday party planning post. We are going to go with it, though, because 1. It’s budget 2. It’s birthday and we all have them 3. It’s puppy dog pals 4. Mr. T. Mouse looked so adorable! Our T. just had his 2nd birthday. This…
Sweet Cherry Mickey Pie
We have been loving fresh fruit pies this summer. Summer sweet fruit coated in sticky gel, piled high in a crisp crust, topped with whipped cream! I took a chance and grabbed some foil to create a Mickey shape on a pizza pan. I then tucked a layer of foil over top. Supplies grabbed. Flour,…

A quick Mickey wreath you can customize with the seasons
I have been wanting to do this craft for a while. I may have even bought the wreaths for it and lost them in my craft room, but I can’t actually be sure until that room gets a massive de-junking! Today, the kids and I wandered through a few craft stores and I finally find…
Now we’re cooking with gas… wait… microwaves!
Once we learned that the head cheese will deliver a microwave to your room if you just ask, my whole approach to vacation cooking changed! I got to thinking that silicone bakeware might just be the way to go. It is super light weight, flexible/foldable, microwave and oven safe, and non-stick. In a microwave, it…
Backpacking through Disney – in theory
As we have traveled more and more, I have started packing less and less in our bags. The more budget the airline we have traveled, the more frugal I have gotten with purchasing extra bags. Our last trip we brought down 1 suitcase. Just 1. For 5 people. For 8 days. Talk about minimal. The…
Blaze Pizza: our top choice quick service in Disney Springs!
Let me start out by saying that we haven’t actually ever been to the Blaze Pizza at Disney Springs. How could we possibly name it the top choice? We went to Blaze in Lansing last night and were blown away by the customer service, variety, flavor, and pricing. First off, customer service. The staff in…
Disney necklace kit!
Check out this super cute Disney Princess necklace kit! I ordered it through Amazon Prime Now when we were at Disney earlier this month. We never got around to playing with it on our park free, split stay trip. So today, we pulled it out! The plastic cords are actually super sturdy. They are just…
Don’t forget your toothbrush – what you will find in your Disney Resort room
Every hotel chain has different items they leave in the room for you. At Disney, you will find facial bar soap in the sink area and Shampoo/Conditioner/Body Wash in the shower, in locked dispensers. Likely, you will find lotion, and definitely you will find thin TP. Depending on the resort, you may find Aloe, a…
