So, while there has been nothing official from Walt Disney World today, it has been exciting nonetheless! I’ve had the opportunity to “meet” a good number of the other people on the panel, both through an email distribution list that has been started, and through a Facebook group. They all seem like warm,…

I got an email yesterday from the powers that be at the Walt Disney World Mom’s Panel selection committee (is that what they are called??). We had expected to find out by the end of this week if we would be chosen for the panel, but this email asked us for a time and phone…

Well, it was an exciting week for us, if not for Gracie! She turned 3 on Wednesday and had two birthday celebrations! When she woke up on Wednesday, we sang before we got ready for school, and she kept saying it wasn’t her birthday it was Eilis’ birthday. We had Dram and Pop-pop and Nannie…

As a person who has had gastric bypass surgery, I have avoided most BBQ restaurants. Nothing good can come from a visit to a place who bases it’s reputation on sugar sweetened sauces and pork fat – at least not in terms of the gastrically altered. I want to remind my readers that I am…
