We took our three kids (ages 6, 3, and 9 months) to Disney World during an admittedly busy week – school vacation week. We knew there would be crowds. But we aren’t the type of people to want to truly max out on a Disney park day anyway, so we didn’t think it would be a problem. We didn’t plan to rope drop, and I had a loose idea of which rides we’d go to in which order. Before we left for our trip, I did some research about Genie Plus (which replaced the old Fastpass system at Disney). I wasn’t sure if we really needed it, so we decided on the first day at Magic Kingdom to just go with the f ..read more

When you’re walking around Disney, you’ll notice two distinct groups of people. One is the all-in, family matching outfits group and the other is the casual, regular clothing group. We definitely go more toward the casual, regular outfits. I usually buy a few cute pieces for my kids but otherwise I’m all about comfort. You’re going to be walking a LOT, it may be hot, you’ll be standing in lines… You don’t want to be wearing anything stuffy or uncomfortable. Today’s post is all about what to wear at Disney, but if you’re looking for other Disney tips you can head here to see all of my Disney p ..read more

Our recent Disney trip was so fun, even with the twists and turns and illness that hit us while we were away. I had been looking forward to taking our kids to Disney for a while. The last time we went our oldest was just 19 months (and was our only)! Now we have a 6 year old, 3 year old, and 9 month old. We had big plans for our 6 days in Orlando, including a few pool days baked in at our resort of choice, the Omni Orlando Hotel at Championsgate. We knew that the park days would include driving about 20-30 minutes each way and were excited to have a few days that were designated resort days t ..read more

Look for Less: All the Best UGG Inspired Slippers

I loved hearing that UGGs were back because honestly, I never stopped wearing mine! It’s cold in Boston in the winter, and they’re one of my most-worn winter boots (see my 3 must-have winter boots for women here). According to UGG, sheepskin is a naturally thermostatic material, meaning that while you’re wearing it, it automatically regulates your body temp throughout the day. “Because of this, UGG sheepskin footwear can be worn all year round.” That said, I haven’t had the best experience with quality lately. The last pair of UGG boots I bought wore through in just 2 years! My old pair ..read more

If the shift from real life to post-pandemic life taught us anything, it’s this: Wirefree bras are where it’s at. In all honesty, I shifted to the wireless bra way of life after having my second baby (also during the height of the pandemic). And I’ve tried quite a few bras without wires. Here are the best ones so far! Quick note: If you need a bra with lots of support, you’ll want to check out ones that have molded cups, wider adjustable straps, or a thicker hook and loop closure.

How to Make Giant Ornaments for Your Christmas Decorations

I first found those giant ornament balls at my local garden store, where they had a big display of the huge Christmas ornament decoration that had been featured on Shark Tank. I bought one because I thought it looked so cool. I wanted to have a bunch to put on my front porch, but I didn’t want to invest a lot because our weather is unpredictable. (The only problem was the $60 price tag!) I didn’t know if these would actually survive a New England December on the porch. So this year I ordered a couple of exercise balls and set out to create my own DIY giant ornaments for our outdoor Christmas ..read more
