Yesterday I did not post anything on my blog which is unusual for me. Something had to give and yesterday it was my blog. Everything is good but the day can only hold so many things. When I looked back over the last 11 weeks I realized I had only missed posting 6 days. Not…

Bavarian Slow Cooker Pork Loin
Last night at dinner my kids were talking about what meats they liked best. My son said he prefers chicken breast. My daughter said, “Want to know what part of the chicken I like best? Steak.” Yes, we have been eating a great deal of chicken and pork lately. Here is one of our most…
Clinton Kelly Inspired Chicken Thigh Osso Buco
I can tell winter is on its way in when I see the sand/snow fences up at the beach. This is always a very sad sight for me because I know what is coming far too soon. The past two Halloween nights we have had snow or cold, icy rain. With Halloween only 3 weeks…
Fall Fun in Chicago
The tree in our side yard says it is definitely fall. For us fall is prime Feis (Irish Dance Competition) season. We are traveling just about every other weekend for my daughter to Feis. This past weekend we were in Chicago, Illinois. The view from our hotel, The Hilton Rosemont/Chicago O’Hare, was beautiful. In the…
Pooh Sized Traveling – Part I Magic Kingdom
Updated – October 8, 2016 This is part of a series I did a couple years ago. This is the last Disney post for a week or so. We are not a tiny family. I am 5’8″ tall and a 30-32W. My partner is short 5’1″ and 26-28W. Even our children are fairly tall for…
Day 1 – Pop Century
We never expected to be to Florida on Saturday. We left Michigan Friday after school and made it as far as Louisville, Kentucky the first night. We left about 8:00 am Saturday morning expecting to land somewhere in Northern Florida or Southern Georgia for the night. But, we made it all the way to Walt…
Day 2 – Fort Wilderness Cabins
After swimming and checking out of Pop Century, Day 1, we headed to the Fort Wilderness Cabins. This was a surprise for our children. They have always wanted to stay in the cabins and after receiving a last-minute PIN code from Walt Disney World we switched our reservation from All-Star Music to the Fort Wilderness…
Kilmanjaro Safari – Animal Kingdom
I love the Kilimanjaro Safari. I know it is one of those attractions you either really love or really don’t care for. I admit there have been times we have been to Animal Kingdom that I have chosen not to ride on the Safari because it is later in the day and the animals always…
Ravioli with Spinach Pesto and Alfredo Sauce
One thing you may not know about me is that I LOVE Disney World. In fact I even have had another blog “Earning My Disney PhD” that I started in 2009. That blog has been inactive for awhile as I started a Disney page on this blog so I could keep everything together. To niche…
You are Going to Disney World Again? My Response
As I am getting ready to book our next trip to Disney World in February already I can hear in my head all the people who ask where we are going on vacation this year say, “Didn’t you just go there?” or my favorite, “You know there are other places to visit other than Disney…
What Is There do do for the Youngest Visitors at Walt Disney World?
This past weekend I was talking to someone about Walt Disney World and what is the “right” age to take children. My kids both started going to Disney World when they were 18 months. Do they remember those trips? No. But, we sure do. They developed great memories for their aunts, uncles and grandparents who…
Cape May Cafe – Seafood Buffet – Dinner Day 2
Plate from lower left (clockwise): red potatoes, peel-and-eat shrimp, paella, roasted root vegetables, and clams. We arrived for our reservation 15 minutes early at the Beach Club. We sat in the lobby for only about 5 minutes before our buzzer went off and we were seated for dinner. We had a later reservation of 8:00…
