The idea of visiting Disney with a baby may be pretty intimidating—we definitely got a lot of “you must be nuts” looks when we told people we were taking Arabella to Hong Kong Disneyland when she was 100 days old (this was before the protests got big and before coronavirus). But visiting Disney with a […]
It’s been almost 60 years since Disneyland opened in a former orange grove in Anaheim, California. To celebrate their birthday (which is actually on my birthday, July 17), they’ve spruced up some of the oldest rides, blinged out Sleeping Beauty’s castle, debuted a new fireworks show and created a new nighttime parade. And to kick it all […]
After the Star Wars half marathon, I promised myself I would do a much better job of preparing for the Tinkerbell half. I signed up for a 60-day barre challenge and started a legit half marathon training program. Then, the day before Valentine’s Day, I hurt my knee. I’ll spare you the details, but here’s the […]
Today, I want to talk about belts and mouse ears. Toby and I had been planning to go to Disneyland for Valentine’s Day, but a bunch of work things came up, and we weren’t able to go. Work (his and mine) kept getting in the way every weekend since, but we finally made it to see […]

I think I’ve always been like that, actually: I remember going to a Phoenix Suns game when I was in middle school and wondering what the heck the woman sitting courtside in YELLOW […]
If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve probably noticed that Toby and I are basically obsessed with Disneyland, and go there constantly. We also tend to eat quite a lot while we’re there. So today, I wanted to share some of our favorites with you, in case you’re hitting the park and didn’t bring your […]
Who’s the leader of the club that’s made for you and me? M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E! If you follow me on Instagram, you may have noticed that Toby and I went to Disneyland last weekend. We’re a little obsessed. We had been wanting to go for a weekend since I got back from Afghanistan, but rain […]
I love Disney movies, and I adore Disneyland and Disneyworld. So you can imagine how excited I was when I realized we now live only about an hour from Disneyland — and that we could go there to celebrate my birthday. And yes, I was turning 33, not 13. But, whatever. The Minnie Mouse […]
