I’m back! (with some magic)

May 29, 2013 |

Apologies for staying away from the blog for so long.

You see, I was gearing up for a trip to Disney World with my nieces! I’ve been aching to share photos with you.

But right as we were returning to central Oklahoma, the terrible tornado struck just north of us. I decided the photos could wait.

Maybe we could all use a little magic now? (Especially because it’s my birthday!)

Several months ago, when Steve and I decided to take my 6 and 9-year-old nieces to Disney World, we were met with enthusiasm, but also a little skepticism. More than a few “you don’t know what you’re getting into” looks and comments came our way. We were both nervous, but we really wanted to spend time with the girls, give them a fun vacation, and help them see a little more of the world.

And you know what? It was better than we ever could have dreamed! It truly was magical.


We saw castles!


We met beautiful princesses.


We consumed excessive amounts of sugar.

And boy did we EVER ride roller coasters! My little niece Samantha, barely 6-years-old, started small with Dumbo, worked her way up through coasters like the Barnstormer and Big Thunder Mountain, and finally topped it all off with Space Mountain. (I didn’t have the nerve to ride that thing until I was a teenager!)

It was the trip of a lifetime!

Parents and/or those in the know: where should we go next?
