174/365 Earlier this month, Bryan and I headed downtown to meet up with friends and see Billy Joel in concert. We aren't getting any younger, and heading home after an 8:00pm concert didn't sound appealing, so we decided to get a room nearby for the night. Expiring Free Night Back in January, I had decided to change up our Universal Orlando trip to add a night at Disney. I had booked two nights at the Hyatt House Universal on points, and one night with my free anniversary night from my Chase Hyatt card. I canceled the free night and realized that it was going to expire on March 10. So I turned around and booked it for a night at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Phoenix, which is a Category…

66/365 As soon as we ditched the stroller for our Parks visits as the kids got older, I started worrying about where I was going to put all of the stuff we take in with us. I'm a big proponent of bringing anything we can get outside of the Parks in with us, including some snacks, drinks, and especially water. Heck, when we went to Disneyland recently, we even brought in our own popcorn! Say "Goodbye" To the Stroller The very last time we used a stroller on a trip was at Disneyland in January, 2015, when the kids were 6 and 4. Later that year, we went in September without the stroller. I hadn't gotten the idea to have the kids pack their own things in a backpack. Yet.…
Today is my daughter's 10th birthday, so it's also my 10th anniversary of becoming a mom. When I quit my job as a teacher eight months after she was born, I celebrated by starting a 365 blog. It was a lot of fun documenting our adventures together, and I felt a daily sense of purpose in writing. 365 Daily Blog Fast forward almost 10 years, and I am itching to get back to writing every day. I've been thinking over what to write about now that my kids are in school and we are not sharing adventures together as often. I keep coming back to the format of the 365. It keeps you honest and gets you to write something daily. So, I thought, what do I have coming up…
