Happy Mother's Day from Someone Who Gets It

Sometimes even a writer can't write it better. And so, I offer you this gem that I've lifted from The Makeshift Mom's Facebook page.

Happy Mother's Day. If for only a moment, may you find a little corner of the world free from puke, poop, dishes, detergent and tumbling dustbunnies.

Beaches & Cream Soda Shop X Mouse Watcher

Image
 So maybe you've JUST HEARD about all the delectable, can't-miss goodness at Beaches & Cream Soda Shop , but (*gasp*) you don't have a reservation. This resort-side Disney dining reservation is a hot spot thanks to its simple, consistently delicious, kid-friendly, diner-like menu and its extensive offering of ice cream delights. Despite its late-night operating hours (open past 10pm), it's near impossible to grab a seat on short notice. This casual dining spot is located just outside the Disney World Resort Yacht Club / Beach Club pools . Well, I'd heard about the marvels of Mouse Watcher before, and we really wanted to grab a killer milkshake (and onion rings, because obviously). So I literally googled Mouse Watcher, headed over to the site and risked the $5 spend to set up an alert for Beaches & Cream during a certain time . And... photo evidence would show you, it freaking worked. It WORKED . I got a notification during the time frame I was targeting, ...

Oh this? Just the Best. Disney. Mug. Ever.

MERCH: Walt Disney's Dumbo Classic Coffee Mug With Lid PURCHASE LOCATION: Emporium on Main Street PARK: Magic Kingdom, Disney World DATE: June 2023 What in the what, Disney. Imagine you're cruising down Main Street with a super ornery toddler, so obviously you stop in a store to buy her a toy because that's just where you are in your 4th-child parenting journey. Now, I'm a practical person. I have a tendency to drop irrational dollars at Disney, but the dollar-dropping is always and only on items with a practical use and a high likelihood of being well-loved. Enter: THIS MUG.  Listen. I approached the Disney coffee mug wall with a discerning eye and a list of required attributes: 1) Speaks to my heart 2) Makes mornings suck less as it transports me back to my Disney vacation 3) Doesn't break the bank 4) Is DISHWASHER SAFE (no time for hand-washing dishes in my cray house) 5) Something I didn't even know I needed: THE LID BEHOLD: The lid. THE LID.  Listen, I deep...

MERCH: Remy's Ratatouille Adventure Children's Top PURCHASE LOCATION: La Maison Du Vin / Les Vins de France in France, World Showcase PARK: Epcot, Disney World DATE: June 2023 Ob.Sessed. By our last day at Disney World, our 4-year-old was completely obSESSED with Remy's Ratatouille Adventure at EPCOT. But it didn't start that way. On Day One, it started with her "I CHANGE MY MIND!" announcement at the ride's Genie+ check-in. Fast-resulting baby swap. Here's how we slowly alleviated her fears day over day.   😍😍😍😍 Disney tools we leveraged: 1) Park Hopper tickets every day of our vacation 2) Disney's Yacht Club Resort reservation within walking distance of Epcot 3) Visiting Epcot nearly every day (sorry, not sorry - cheers) Day 1: "I changed my mind!" No go.  Day 2: Ride between mom & dad - just skip the glasses, and don't look if you don't want. We told her what was happening during the ride throughout every scene whether s...
