There is nothing like the heat and humidity of summer to really put one’s hair styling products to the test. Even with smoothing serums, conditioners, and heat protectants, my curly locks are unruly at best in the summer. So I have perfected a couple of easy braided styles to keep my hair looking cool and cute. Here is my side braid with bun that was a favorite of my family’s on vacation this year.

I am not a faithful “carry on only” traveler. I usually check a larger piece of luggage and then take a small carry on for the plane. When traveling stand by with my 5 year old, this is the best option for me. To make my life easier when it comes to packing and traveling, I have certain items that “live” in my carry on all of the time so that I don’t have to remember to pack them from trip to trip. Here is a quick peek into life in my carry on.

Remember the game “versus” that April highlighted in her recent Enjoy the Journey post? (If you haven’t read it yet, click here!) For a die-hard Disney fan the ultimate versus lies in this quandary: Disneyland or Walt Disney World?

Well, when I was little, there were only three Disney princesses I remember: Snow White, Cinderella, and Aurora. I didn’t have long blonde hair like Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty, but I could relate to Snow White’s short dark hair. So I have stuck with her all these years as my favorite Disney princess. Another thing I have in common with Snow White is that I have found my prince and have lived happily ever after! Continue reading

The Sword in the Stone: a great photo opportunity that is usually not so crowded.
So much of the Disney magic is right out in the open waiting to be enjoyed by the massive crowds each year. There are a few hidden gems that I like to keep in my back pocket for times of meltdown (probably will happen) and exhaustion (definitely will happen).

Week three of showing my Disney side takes me down a rabbit hole to Wonderland! As per my dear dad’s request, here is my version of Disney’s Alice in Wonderland. This came at the perfect time since my middle school students are currently studying the Lewis Carroll poems, “Jabberwocky” and “The Walrus and the Carpenter” in my Literature class. Pretty cool or as Alice would say, “Curioser and curiouser!”

Would teenage girls actually wear Cinderella-inspired clothing? Turns out they will. The racks were swarming with people. When I got home, I went to the Kohl’s website and noticed a whole line of Cinderella-inspired dresses, skirts and tops for women by designer Lauren Conrad. Continue reading
