Living Life One Cheerio at a Time

This is just a small glimpse what my dining room looks like one week before our big trip. PURE CRAZY! I have scoured and scoured over all the best Disney vacation blogs to figure out what I need to bring. Now I am not a control freak on most things. MOST THINGS. Vacations are another story. I have documents saved from previous BEACH vacations. Grocery lists, packing lists, lists on lists on lists...but because this vacation was going to be a bit different my lists were not going to be helpful. We usually stay in a home and do a lot of cooking and this trip we are staying on Disney property and using the meal plan. First of all I decided to use a travel agent . Susan did a great job accommodating our allergies and large family. I would love to recommend Susan to anyone heading to Disney. We are straying at POP Century in 2 rooms. It was cheaper to stay in 2 rooms with our family of 6 than in a suite. Our rooms are next to each other but we will see how the week of tag team parentin...

We had a few snow days this week and this mom needed to come up with something quick! VALENTINES DAY BOXES!! The oldest and I scoured Pinterest for some designs for our boxes. If you know #1 she likes her themes/monochromatic/type a order in life so she thought since her cards were owls and she had an owl shirt {that she could wear on her party day}then her box should be an owl. All would be right on the world! Child 2 is a little more go with the flow so she was cool with sling hers an owl. But she made it her own...a little like her personality. Of course #1 hoards shoe boxes for this project so we had plenty of sizes to choose from.  A few paper bags from Kroger's and some scrounging  in my scrapping paper and we had our BEST boxes to date!
