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…
The Road Back to My Life
These are my thoughts on life, kids and Walt Disney World. I realized I had lost me somewhere along the way the past several years. I have been the perfect Mommy, wife and volunteer anyone could ask for. What I was missing was being there for me. I am going to take this year to…
Mediterranean Chicken and Rice Bake
Mediterranean flavors are one of my family’s favorite flavors. The brightness of the lemon, the tang of the garlic and the spiciness of the oregano all combined together are delicious. I am generally not a fan of drumsticks and thighs but our supermarket had them on sale recently for $.49 a pound. I bought about…
Buffalo Chicken French Fry Casserole
My son likes spicy dishes. We all love Buffalo chicken, but in varying versions of heat. One of the nice things about this dish is that you can vary the hotness of the dish. We generally go for a mid-range medium but my son can then spice his dish up with one of the variety…
Creamy Swiss Chicken
So I have finally decided to start doing something just for me. I joined a handbell choir. I have never played handbells before. It has been interesting. I realized I was being very hard on myself because I had a music degree I should be able to go in and pick this up like nothing….
What is Your Song?
Do you and your spouse, girlfriend, boyfriend have a song? This has been our song for as long as I can remember. I have always loved the third verse and as we are coming into the time in our life where we are older and our kids are getting bigger it seems even more poignant….
Bisquick Sausage Balls
Getting ready for football games this weekend? We love football and appetizers in our house. I try to change them up each week adding one or two new ones to our usual staples of dips and wings. When I read about the Sausage Balls I was a bit skeptical. I love sausage but Bisquick and…
Chicken & Cheese Slow Cooker Tacquitos
I am tired. We are coming up on the end of September and I am exhausted already. How am I going to make it to June? We had my son’s annual Individualized Education Plan (IEP) meeting this week. I was a bit concerned about it as they are going to want to dismiss him from…
What's for Dinner Moms?
