So as a big surprise to no one, we visited a Disney Park during Spring Break. We chose Disneyland this year for several reasons: the weather, the smaller crowds, the ability to walk between parks, and the fact that Disneyland is still celebrating its 60th Anniversary. While we usually visit Walt Disney World in Florida, this wasn’t our first time to Disneyland. But it was the first trip that Jimmy’s mom had ever been to a Disney Park. Ever! We spent our three days in Disneyland well, mixing the classics with the brand new attractions.

Anyone who’s ever had a beloved American Girl doll in their family knows where I’m going with this post! MJ received her very first American Girl doll from Santa back in December and her 6-year-old world became forever changed! Maryellen Larkin goes everywhere MJ does: to the grocery, to school for show and tell, to tumbling class, to sleepovers and playdates, and naturally, even on vacation! We spent President’s Weekend at the Mall of America in Minneapolis, Minnnesota. MJ and Maryellen enjoyed lots of time at the American Girl Store there. With the help of MJ, here is a recap of our experience along with tips to share!
Weekend Trip – Lake Barkley State Resort Park
by April
I love to get away for a weekend and consider it all the better if I don’t have to go far to feel a world away. If you live in or near a state with fantastic resort parks, a fun and affordable trip may not be far from your back yard. I recently traveled to Lake Barkley State Resort Park in Cadiz, KY with my son, sister, niece and parents for a weekend adventure not far from home.
The Smoothie Formula
by April
It’s a stretch to call this a recipe but it’s a formula I’ve stumbled upon that is worth sharing. The Half Cup Smoothie is a quick and easy breakfast or snack that even the kids can prepare (if you trust them with the blender!). It has everything I look for when adding something new to the household menu; it’s easy and quick to prepare, uses pantry and fridge staples I always have on hand, and needs minimal utensils so clean up is fast. And most of all it tastes great. All you need is a blender, a few ingredients, and a half cup.
