Stop making this Disney trip mistake! ✨

If you’re skipping a resort day, you’re missing out! Taking a day to relax in between park days is a game changer—it keeps you energized, saves money on park tickets, and lets you enjoy the amazing resort perks. We usually have more hotel days than park days! Here’s why:

🍕 Order Instacart to keep food costs down
🏊 Poolside entertainment & slides
🎬 Outdoor movie nights
🔥 Marshmallows by the campfire

At deluxe Disney resorts, there’s so much magic to enjoy outside the parks! What’s your favorite resort activity?

I used to think success meant staying busy, chasing goals, and always doing more.

But I’ve realized…

Real success is about building a life that lets me be present with the people I love. It’s in the little moments—sprinklers in the backyard, library trips, late summer nights.

What about you? If you’re ready to find what brings you the most joy and presence, here are a few questions to ask yourself:

✨ What moments make you feel the most alive and connected?

✨ What are you saying “yes” to that might be taking time from what really matters?

✨ What simple traditions can you start that don’t require a big budget or a busy schedule?

Remember, real riches aren’t in the hustle—they’re in the memories we create along the way.

The last bit of Halloween for awhile… 🎃✨🔮🧹

Halloween is one of our favorite holidays, and over the years, we’ve found some key ways to make it both fun and sensory-friendly for our daughter Lillie, who has agenesis of the corpus callosum. Here’s how we’re preparing tonight to keep Halloween comfortable and enjoyable for her! 🎃✨

1️⃣ Sensory-Friendly Costume: This year, we have three costume options that Lillie can choose from, each letting her wear her favorite pajamas underneath. This small adjustment makes a huge difference—she can enjoy dressing up without worrying about scratchy fabrics or unfamiliar textures, and it helps her stay comfortable and focused on the fun parts of her costume!

2️⃣ Routine & Social Stories: Sticking to the same Halloween route each year has become a reassuring tradition for Lillie, as she knows what to expect and where to go. In the days leading up, we look at photos from last Halloween and tell social stories based on them to help her anticipate the night. She loves hearing stories of past Halloweens, and it turns the whole process into something exciting and familiar rather than overwhelming.

3️⃣ Visual Schedule: While Lillie responds well to verbal instructions, she finds a visual schedule even more comforting, especially on eventful nights like Halloween. We lay out a simple visual schedule that she can look at throughout the evening, so she always knows what’s coming up next. It gives her reassurance and helps her stay grounded as she enjoys her night.
