Who doesn’t LOVE matching DIY Disney family shirts for your Disney park, cruise, or resort vacation? Okay, so maybe guys are not as thrilled and excited about matching DIY Disney family shirts.

We are extremely blessed that we were able to get to Disneyland for our first ever Disneyland family adventure this spring break. Here are some of the ways that we got ready for Disney. Getting ready for Disney is all part of the fun and we, or mostly I, had a lot of fun getting things ready for our epic first Disneyland Trip.

Disney themed lanyards are super easy to make and the best part about making your own is that it’s customized for your desired design and theme. These Moana lanyards were made inexpensively (because I’m cheap frugal) and they worked great for Disney Pin Trading while on the Disney Alaskan Cruise.

It was especially great to see how the embellishments I made were reused to make birthday cards from guests. The crafty recycled cards made by my…

She came over one night and we…

Why grow DIY borax crystals you ask? My son is big into treasures because of a school project that had his class defining and collecting treasures. Since then he has been collecting rocks, crystals, sticks, and anything shiny to keep in his treasure jar. The jar is almost full, and I decided growing some crystals would be an awesome project to add to his shiny collection. The crystals turned out to be beautiful, fun, and educational. Both of my kids…

Hawaii’s false ballistic missile alarm on Saturday, January 13, 2018 at 8:07 am struck fear into the hearts of many. For 38 minutes, residents across the state of Hawaii feared the worst. Even my children and I said goodbye to my husband and told him how much we loved him, as he was at work and separated from us at the time. The fear and then the following anger has been so great that there have been death threats issued…
