Bedtime Just Got a Little Easier with Disney

Get a Good Nights Sleep

  If you have a little one in the home, you know bedtime can be a struggle. I know for us, there are nights Peyton and I go around and around for hours about going to sleep. She'll claim she's not tired when I can see it in her eyes! The kid will be yawning and fighting to keep her eyes open but she'll still maintain that she is fine and doesn't need to go to bed. For her, I know it's because she doesn't want to miss a thing. But she needs the sleep.  Sometimes, by the time I do get ...

When a Birth Plan Doesn’t Go As Planned

Peyton's Momma was compensated for this article by Choices Matter, however, this is our actual birth story and experience. Having a birth plan is a great idea. I had one. A very detailed one with everything written out. But there was one thing I forgot to think about, pain management. I knew I wanted an epidural but beyond that, I hadn't thought about it. And then the day arrived. The day Peyton was going to be born, or so we thought. We arrived around 11 am on a Tuesday morning to start the ...
