I was so excited to see these Pediatrician-approved Time Out “helpers” in AdventureLand. I ordered one for every room in the house. No more dragging the kids BACK to time out for me, No-sirree-bob! You can order your own at www.gomedievalonurkids.com.
I let the girls pick out a prize on our last day at Disney. Aubrey picked out a stuffed Minnie Mouse dressed like a princess. We were riding the bus back to the hotel, Aubrey was clutching her new toy and looked up at me and said, “Momma, why you get me this Minty Mouse?”Me: Because I love you and this was a special treat for you.Aubrey: That makes me purr at you!! Purrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
On Day 3 we spent the EN-TIRE day at the pool. There was a huge water slide which Aubrey and Emma played on for 3 consecutive hours: down the slide, climb the ladder, up the steps, down the slide, rinse and repeat. Sadie Plum, who it turns out is a true Southern Belle, spent the day lolling about in the shade of her stroller, reclined with a huge sunhat to shade her delicate face and a miniature battery-operated box fan blowing a cool breeze on her lest she perspire. The girls played at the pool until Emma, took off her [Read more...]
Our first day in the Magic Kingdom started with the making of mass numbers of PB&Js and packing up all the crap you have to take with you anytime you travel with kids.

Disney World: We went, we saw, we were conquered on a daily basis. Our trip started out with a bang while I waited in the car, with all 3 of my children and Shuggie with ALL of our stuff while my husband PACKED a freakin‘ bag. I am totally and 100% serious. We have been planning this trip for months and in the time it took for me to pack myself AND three kids for an entire week, including snacks, water and sunscreen for the entire family- my husband packed exactly nothing. NOT ONE THING. He has a very complicated [Read more...]
T-Minus 10 hours and counting…I’ve purchased a ridiculous amount of sunscreen, bottled water, and snack food. I’ve packed diapers, pacifiers, blankets, cameras, camcorders, and enough Elmo and Tinkerbell panties for every toddler likely to show up while we’re there. I have yelled at every member of my immediate family in the last 6 hours (save Sadie and Shuggie-Thanks be to God for them both) and almost cried twice. Isn’t vacation FUN? I don’t remember any of this when I was a kid. I remember going to sleep in my bed, briefly waking up in the wee hours as someone carried [Read more...]
