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, [...]
In spite of having visited central Florida at least a dozen times during the past several years, I can honestly say that Walt Disney World monopolized our time and attention; we never made time to visit any of the other theme parks. Until recently, that is. Last month my family had the opportunity to visit [...]
A few posts back I mentioned that we’d just returned from another Disney cruise–this one aboard the beautiful Disney Fantasy. As has become tradition, we did indeed participate in the fish extender gift exchange. A few readers have asked for details on the gift, so I’m posting it today. We went super simple this time [...]
It’s been quiet ’round these parts for awhile now. I meant to do a quick post here and there but I’ve been a bit of a jet-setter of late and I just never found the time to pop in. I plan to get back to regular posting this week, but for now I’ll just offer [...]
If you’ve been reading my blog long you know full well that I am nothing if not a Disneyphile. Our family often travels to Orlando to stay a spell in Mickey’s playground. During a quick trip last month, we ventured off of Disney property to take in some of the other attractions. LEGOLAND Florida was [...]
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 [...]
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.
