It is said that "Wherever there are friends, there is a party!" Maybe that's why I like to plan parties so much. I like to spend time with the people I love the most; my family and friends. Today it's all about our son's Mickey…

Feeling a little like Cinderella this week. We arr Feeling a little like Cinderella this week. We arrived home on Monday from a dream trip & I’m having just a little bit of a hard time adjusting back to “normal” life.😅 Mentally I’m on the beaches of Punta Mita, physically I’m doing laundry at home.😂 The trip was amazing & I plan to share about some of it soon. So thankful the hubby & I were able to get away & even more thankful to everyone who helped us make the dream a reality.🙌🏼💗 Anyone else mentally somewhere else this week??🤷🏻‍♀️

🚨 THE ARMY HAS BEEN ASSEMBLED. 🚨😂 Four nights awa 🚨 THE ARMY HAS BEEN ASSEMBLED. 🚨😂

Four nights away with just the two of us are officially happening at the end of this week, and it takes a SMALL ARMY to make it happen! Between the kids’ activities, school, homework, and all the things that fill our days, getting away together can feel IMPOSSIBLE. But never has it been more important to me to set the example for our kids that our marriage is a priority. ❤️

In our house, we try to keep our priorities in this order: God first, marriage second (loving each other as Christ loved the Church), kids third, and everything else after that.

It’s SO easy to get wrapped up in our kids. Their needs, their activities, their everything. But one day, they’ll grow up and leave home (because that’s the beautiful, natural course of life). And when they do, what will be left of our marriage?

Will we still KNOW each other? Will we LIKE who we’ve become along the way? Will we have grown closer to each other, or slowly drifted apart while raising our kids?

That’s why I’m willing to rally the troops and make it happen. 😂 Because our kids will survive without us, and I truly believe we’ll ALL be better for it!

Thank You, Jesus, for this opportunity to get away and invest in our marriage. 🙏🏻❤️

So consider this your little nudge to book that night away… or even just a dinner date. You don’t have to plan a big trip to prioritize your marriage. One of the greatest gifts you can give your kids is a marriage that continues to grow stronger.

Go book the date. You won’t regret it. ❤️

It was time for a change…and turns out it wasn’t a It was time for a change…and turns out it wasn’t as scary as I thought.😅🤩 Thanks for all of your input on my stories the last few days. I may not have gone as short as some of you suggested, but this is the shortest I’ve ever gone in my entire life…so…baby steps.😉 I still wanted to be able to pull my hair back into a ponytail when working out.😅 Have you ever chopped off your hair? I’m loving it so far & very happy with the outcome.🥰

September in a nutshell. Lots to celebrate. Colton September in a nutshell. Lots to celebrate. Colton turning 14, hitting 18 years of marriage & Rosie turning 12. It’s always such a full month & goes by in a blink. Wish I could slow down time a bit.🥹 Trying to enjoy the big & little moments. How was your September?

And just like that she twirled into 12. 🩰 Finally And just like that she twirled into 12. 🩰 Finally had the chance to put together this reel & an entire blog post with all the details from this tutu-cute ballet birthday bash. Plus, all the links to shop the exact items are on the blog (link in bio). What do you think of this theme? I think it could be sweet for lots of different ages.🥰

Confession: I miss our annual passes.🥹 It’s offici Confession: I miss our annual passes.🥹 It’s officially been a year since we let them expire, and I miss it. This will be our first Halloween without a picture in front of the Mickey pumpkin (not counting the COVID year, of course 😅).

And although I don’t regret our decision, because honestly, I don’t know when we would even be able to go with our current schedule, it doesn’t make me miss it any less. I think it’s also because I miss the slower days when not everything was so filled with school & activities.🥹 Even though I love this stage of life, it’s just bittersweet.

It’s another reminder that everything truly has a season in life. This is clearly not our “Disney season,” but that doesn’t mean letting it go is easy. ❤️

So, if you started following me years ago for the Disney content, you can still find plenty of it over on the blog, along with the occasional post here. But it’s definitely been a transitional season for me…

And if you’re simply here for the faith, family & fun, then you’re in the right place.😉

Either way, thank you for sticking around while our seasons change.🥰 Are you headed the parks anytime soon? Anybody want to take me along?😂

A letter for our Rosalie Belle, at age 12 You are A letter for our Rosalie Belle, at age 12

You are…
Funny.
Kind.
Creative beyond measure.

A dreamer with a beautiful imagination,
an artist who sees what others miss.

Sympathetic and observant,
thoughtful and generous,
protective of those you love.

Determined.
Persistent.
Brave.

Joyful.
Intelligent.
Lovely.

A dreamer,
and an adventurer, although cautious at times.

A sister.
A daughter.
A friend.

My hope for you, sweet girl,
is that as you grow,
you never lose sight of the One who made you.

That you never feel the need to become
who the world tells you to be.

That you would stand apart
when standing apart is right…
not loudly,
not proudly,
but beautifully and humbly.

Because you were never made
to simply fit in.

You were made with purpose.
Known before I ever knew you.
Loved before you ever took your first breath.

You are my daughter,
but even more wonderfully,
you are a daughter
of the Most High King.

And what a privilege it has been
to watch you become
exactly who He created you to be.

Happy 12th birthday,
my Rosie Belle.

I love watching you grow.
And I cannot wait to see
who God is still unfolding you to become.💗
Tale as old as time…and yet, still so relevant tod Tale as old as time…and yet, still so relevant today. 🥰 We had the honor of being guests of @segerstromarts for opening night of Disney’s Broadway National Tour of @beautymusical 🌹 It was perfect timing to celebrate our own Rosie Belle’s 12th birthday!🎂 ❤️ 

This story means so much to me and the kids. We’ve all played different characters over the years, so we couldn’t wait to see it! And the show is incredible; from the costumes and special effects to the choreography, the voices, and even the laughs I didn’t expect. 😂

Family-friendly and running now through October 11th! Get your tickets before the last petal drops. 🥀😉

Which character do you most relate to? Some days I’d say Belle 📖…other days, maybe the Beast! 😂😂

18 years married today.💗 Our hope is that our marr 18 years married today.💗 Our hope is that our marriage points people to Jesus, for He truly is the center of our lives, our cornerstone. “A cord of three strands is not easily broken.” Ecc 4:12b
