#SilenceIsBetrayal. We can be silent no more. It’s not political, it’s not about only posting about happy disney things, it’s about humankind and wanting the best for every single human. As a mother, and as a human, I must do more. If this post bothers you, I urge you to ask yourself why and think beyond your own discomfort. 🖤 #blacklivesmatter ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽

Happy Saturday! I’ve been on a Disneyland kick l Happy Saturday! I’ve been on a Disneyland kick lately, mostly because these photos keep showing up in my memories and it makes me want to re-edit and post them again. It’s nice, in these very trying and troubling times, to take a breath and think of better days. I also acknowledge my privilege in being able to take that breath, among many other things. Disney news may be swirling all around us lately, but the rest of the news shows me how very far we still have to come as a human race and how many of the old ways must be put to an end. Together we can, and should make a difference. 💛

💚💖💚Happy day xx of quarantine! I know it’s different for everyone, could be 9 weeks, could be 61 days, whatever it is, it’s been long. As you may or may not have noticed, it’s been difficult for me to keep up with social media things during this time. It’s a crazy balance, and a balance of crazy, you know? On one hand, I am grateful for this time with my family, I love having all the kids and Scott home, but at the same time, everyone’s lives are put on hold, some easier than others. Obviously Scott being furloughed from Disney with no unemployment as of yet isn’t something I feel like celebrating so it feels kind of fake to be “hooray!” about everything when that isn’t the case, but we are trying to remain positive and hopeful at home. Mostly it’s made me realize what I do and don’t enjoy doing in my life, and I certainly miss being able to drive off and explore a new place or take a stroll around World Showcase, but I don’t really miss never ending new cupcakes or ear hats...so it’s really making me reevaluate what I do here and why I do it. At the end of the day, I love sharing pretty photos here and hope it brightens people’s days. I love the colors of this photo, but I don’t really like the drink itself (it’s VERY sweet). Still, I wish I could be wandering Pandora right now and exploring moss walls and bioluminescent paths. We are planning to resume the podcast soon, so stay tuned for that if you’ve missed our silly conversations. Hopefully you’ve caught up on all our past episodes! I’d love to know how YOU are feeling. Have you changed your priorities or have a new “must-do” in mind for when things reopen? Let’s discuss...💚💖

#MayThe4th be with you, today, and always. . I lov #MayThe4th be with you, today, and always. . I love this photo of Gio from the exit of Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run and it kind of sums up how I think we’re all feeling these days. I know we’ve all taken so much for granted, it will be good to get out in the world again soon with new appreciation for all we have to experience. Until then, let’s remember what we do have and know that love and memories aren’t going anywhere. . #HappyStarWarsDay. What are you doing to celebrate today?💫✨🌟

We are one.💚💙💜 . Happy Earth Day! It’s We are one.💚💙💜 . Happy Earth Day! It’s the 50th anniversary of Earth Day being celebrated for the first time in 1970. Fun fact: I flew home from my junior year trip to Europe, back to Boston, on Earth Day in 1990. During that trip, we visited Madrid and Toledo, Spain, and Paris and Versailles, France. I hope to someday visit both of those places again. In more recent years, I’ve explored this amazing planet closer to home, in this county at least. I think one of the greatest parts of Disney parks are that they often take their inspiration from the real world around us, inspiring us to seek these places out ourselves. I cannot wait to explore the earth once again and I hope we all do everything we can to preserve, protect and be sustainable inhabitants for years to come. 🌍🌏🌎

Remember places? Can you hear the waterfall? Smell Remember places? Can you hear the waterfall? Smell the scents of Whispering Canyon wafting in the air? Hear the whistle of the ferry boat? Birds chirping, bees buzzing, children laughing? Just stare for a moment, take a few deep breaths, and remember. It’s been a while since I posted, I will admit my instinct was to curl into a ball and not want to deal with reality or this new normal that’s been going on for over a month now. I clung to my family and didn’t feel like posting or sharing anything during this stressful time. But I realized I needed to take my own advice and acknowledge that we are all in this together. Some of us still working as usual (or more than usual), others are sadly separated from jobs we love and people we saw every day. But no matter our current situation, what we can all do together is remember.... Remember what we loved and what we want to see again. So when we come out on the other side of this, we see with clear hearts and minds what is truly important and what we want more (or less) of in our lives. What do you want to remember?
