Dirt N Worms

One of my most cherished childhood memories is from my days as a Girl Scout. I recall a particularly memorable weekend at an invitational camporee at West Point, where our troop participated in various activities from obstacle courses to cook-offs. We even won one of the food competitions with a…

Magical Moments

I’m a member of several Disney groups on Facebook, and while they can be fantastic resources for planning an upcoming trip, they can also be a bit of a minefield. If you ask a question that’s considered common knowledge or share an unpopular opinion, it can sometimes feel like you’re…
