We are heading to Disney in Fall 2016. Yes, I know that's a year a way. To be exact we are 380 days from departure! But I have found that if I plan out a Disney trip over a year or 18 months and chip away at the cost each month I can do it. I think what makes most family vacations impossible is the cost. And when you try to plan a huge vacation in just a few months that cost can be overwhelming. Now that we are just over a year out I like to start getting the practical things we need for our ...

We Love Disney!
If you haven't already noticed we are a Disney family! A very enthusiastic Disney family. So when I heard there was a new CD coming out featuring the amazing songs from classics like The Little Mermaid, Cinderella, Aladdin, Mary Poppins and more being sung by super stars like Ne Yo, Gwen Stefani, Ariana Grande, Tori Kelly and more I just had to get in on it. Now this music is not the same as you will hear when watching the movie, each artist has changed it up and made it into a beautiful ...

Another Peak at The Good Dinosaur
Am I the only one anxiously waiting for Thanksgiving weekend so we can go see The Good Dinosaur? Well to help hold me (and you) over they have released another trailer! If you are unfamiliar with The Good Dinosaur let me tell you a little about it. So we know the reason there are no longer dinosaurs is because a pesky meteor decided to crash into Earth and make some dramatic changes ending the reign of the dinosaurs. But what if? What if that meteor has missed Earth? Then what? That is ...
Bridge of Spies is Captivating Audiences

With an award winning cast and director it's bound to keep you on the edge of your seat. Bridge of Spies was inspired by real life events of James Donovan.

New Disney Store at Ridgedale Mall
Today Disney opened a NEW Disney Store at Ridgedale Mall! Can you believe it? We desperately needed another one here in the Twin Cities. The only one we had (until this morning at 10 am!) was the Mall of America. And it was ALWAYS packed and picked over. Peyton and I were lucky to get a personal tour of the new store. I must say it was pretty neat. The amount of detail that goes into a store just amazes me. Did you know they customized the walls to highlight historical sites from the ...
