Two Chips and a Miss

I’m going to be completely honest here. And I know I mention this each and every year, but I am not the biggest fan of Valentine’s Day. I won’t go into all of the reasons, but, the point is, Patrick and I really don’t celebrate the holiday. However, I do find it a good excuse to…

Down Here in New Orleans

February 10, 2016, 6 Comments

Over the past couple of weeks I have been working on a top secret Disney project. It started with a desire to have something unique for Dapper Day, and spawned into a massive endeavor creating multiple variations. Originally I intended to debut the first of my creations on Valentine’s Day, but when I spied Mardi…

Unless you either live under a rock or simply don’t care one ounce about Star Wars, then you’ve heard of the controversy surrounding the lack of Star Wars: The Force Awakens merchandise featuring its lead character, Rey. There has been a slew of articles written (including one where the film’s director J.J. Abrams chimes in.), and the latest…

Gosh, I haven’t blogged since the New Year!? That’s crazy! Well, for good reason. Like mentioned before, Patrick and I caught colds in December, and have been battling them since, including New Years. And after recovering, my dad came down from Oregon to visit for a week, hence all of this non-blogging! But onwards! Sunday…

Sorry for the radio silence since Christmas Eve. I wish I could say it was due to the busy holiday season, but alas, I finally caught the cold Patrick got earlier in the month, and we’ve spent every day since Christmas Eve bundled up and drinking gallons of tea, until yesterday. No, I’m not over…

A Jolly Holiday

It wasn’t just my friend’s birthday over the weekend, but Dick Van Dyke’s as well! Everyone’s favorite chimney sweep turned 90, and he celebrated at the Happiest Place on Earth. He performed live in New Orleans Square, singing songs from Mary Poppins, which was quite the treat! Later he had his own small parade down…

Christmas on the Range

As I mentioned back in September, Big Thunder Ranch Barbecue will be closing its fences in January as the Disneyland Resort prepares to make way for its new Star Wars themed land, and Patrick and I are attempting to visit quite a few times before that day rolls around. With the holidays in full swing, Big Thunder…

Full of Yuletide Cheer

While millions were out searching for deals on Black Friday, Patrick and I went to Disneyland to get into the Christmas spirit, do a bit of gift shopping, and say “Hi” to a few characters. As for our place, it’s all decorated for the holidays, have been for about a week or so. Took about…

Season of the Force

As Disney prepares for its upcoming release of the seventh Star Wars film and the development of the new land inspired by the franchise, the Disneyland Resort kicked off “Season of the Force” Monday in Tomorrowland, which involved some heavy changes to the area. Since moving, I am more eager than ever to visit the…

Fallin’ for Fall

In between the first of October and the day after Thanksgiving, I try to cram as much fall color palette into my wardrobe as possible. It’s also a time to wear sweater sets! So for an afternoon at the park I broke out this pale tan colored sweater set. The highlight of the day though…
