Disney
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: there is something for everyone at Walt Disney World. One of the reasons I choose it as a family vacation destination year after year is because there truly is something there for people big and small, young and young-at-heart. It should come as no surprise, then, [...]
It’s a common misconception that Disney is only magical for the kiddie set. Take it from this thirty-something: Walt Disney World has something to offer everyone. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve visited and come across mom and dad zombies, traipsing through the parks with stupified, one-too-many-rounds-on-it’s-a-small-world glazed over stares. It makes me [...]
Having recently returned from another fabulous Walt Disney World vacation, my blog is bound to show the residual shimmer of pixie dust. While it would be more fun for all of us to meet up and experience Disney magic together, reading a little about our adventure here is the next best thing, right? I hope [...]
For those of you who’ve been reading my blog for awhile, it should come as no surprise that my family is preparing for another Disney Cruise this year. In so doing, one of the tasks at hand is to come up with the perfect gift to give in our fish extender gift exchange. While I [...]
Just over four months from now, Torri and I will be embarking on a mother/daughter trip across the pond in celebration of her high school graduation. We’re both beside ourselves with excitement; the itinerary for our trip is chock-full of life list must dos. Given the catalog of Adventures by Disney trips to choose from, [...]
Having just returned home after five nights at Walt Disney World, I’m busy playing catch up with real life and its associated piles of laundry. I did, however, want to share some instagram photos with you. I was sans family on this trip–acting as a mentor during training weekend for the new members of the [...]
Over the course of her life, my daughter, Kennedy, has had many an encounter with the Disney princesses. Whether we were dining with them at Cinderella’s Royal Table in Magic Kingdom, or meeting and greeting in the Rose Garden, they’ve always delivered variations of the same comment: “Oh my, you remind me of my friend, [...]
During our time in Juneau, there was one phrase we kept hearing from the locals: the Disney Wonder brings with it the sunshine. Apparently, May was unusually wet and dreary this year. We kept hearing that there had been only two days of sunshine and the Disney Wonder just so happened to be docked in [...]
When the Disney wonder docked in Skagway, Alaska, it was raining. Having done my homework, we were prepared for wet weather, ranging from a constant drizzle to buckets of rain falling from the sky. To start the day, Jeff and I dropped Cassidy and Jayce in the Oceaneer Club and set off to explore the [...]
Our family set sail to Alaska aboard the beautiful Disney Wonder on their inaugural cruise from Seattle. Our seven-night voyage called on three Alaskan ports: Skagway, Juneau, and Ketchikan. I’ve already given you some ideas for cute outfits for an Alaskan cruise. And I told you about our cruise pre-stay in Seattle. Over the next [...]
I'm Darcie. I was a teen mom long before MTV made it the next big thing. In the 18 years that have passed since, I've gone on to build a life bold and beautiful here in Tucson, Arizona. Along the way, I bagged myself a rocket scientist hottie husband and penned a couple of books. In addition to being a minivan chauffeur, cupcakeaholic and wine sipper, I like to think of myself as a rebel with a lifestyle blog; my posts reflect on the ups and downs of life as a mother to four, including one daughter who rocks three 21st chromosomes (or has Down syndrome, in layman’s terms). My passions include handcrafted food, inspired travel and back-to-basics living. I'm pleased to make your acquaintance.
