Marathon of Once Upon A Time ! Best. Television. EVER! 4. Train for a marathon. Just for kicks, without actually entering a marathon. I'm a little strange that way. Besides, marathons are expensive and I could use that money on other things, like, say, Disney vacations. 3. Research. I told you I'm strange. In a previous life (read, before children) I was a research assistant for neurology and ophthalmology, so yeah. Now I'm researching fun things, like ...

Our short and sweets prompt this week is I Budget For Disney By...brought to you in this lovely month of March by the idea of saving a little green.

It all comes down to priorities (what we pick to spend money on) and income. Want more tips on how to budget or save on a cruise? Sail on over to this post . Now it's your turn!

Our first video? For our brand new VCR??? I remember playing that VHS to death, taking breaks from Legend of Zelda to learn how to shove my finger into the holes to  rewind the tape until eventually it became so mangled that we replaced it ($24.95 in ...

Or Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover(actually that'd be too easy.) Now it's your turn! Link up an...

It's January and this answer goes against the "diet and exercise" resolution, but my favorite indulgence is dessert. At Disney every meal should end in a lovely, sumptuous dessert. Preferably something gooey, warm and topped in (Rice Dream) ice cream, or something crisp, refreshing and  coated in balsamic vinegar.  Strawberries, Blueberries and Blackberries, Oh My! (Mint and Balsamic Vinegar, too!) Now it's your turn!...

Our short and sweets  prompt this week is Best Christmas Memory <100 words As long as I can remember, the Nutcracker signaled the beginning of the holidays. I never did ballet, but grew up visiting my grandmother annually and always either caught a performance live or baked cookies and then gathered around her television to watch Baryshnikov and Kirkland on VHS. Now that my own daughter is counting down the years until she can audition, we attend her studios presentation each year and for the first time this year one of her sweet friends enjoyed h...

If your guy comes up with touching romantic creative gestures (possibly involving jewelry) on his own, that's wonderful. Origami Owl locket. If I make the Disney Parks Moms Panel, I totally want this or similar. I do not want my husband to tie it to a puppy. Actually I'd be cool with buying it for myself when ...
