About Me
Greetings from the great state of Texas! I am an elementary school teacher turned stay-at-home mom to two precious boys and one small dog. When I am not playing referee to my young boys, I enjoy working out, reading, baking and spending time with friends and family. I am an over-planner and extensive researcher when it comes to anything and everything and am always planning and dreaming for our next Disney adventure.
About My Family
My husband and I have been married since 2010, and we welcomed our first son in 2012. 13 months later we welcomed our second son. My boys experienced their first Disney cruise adventure at seven months and four months old and have since become Platinum level cruisers with 13 cruises (and counting!) to date. As a family, we love seeing the world and experiencing everything Disney has to offer on the "Mickey Boat" as well as on land. We always make sure we have our countdown set to our next cruise when we disembark from a ship!
About My Disney Experience
On a whim I decided to book a Disney Cruise Line vacation in 2012, and by the second day of our first trip we were hooked! 11 months later, we were the crazy ones cruising with a 17-month-old and a four-month-old on an Alaskan cruise, but have never regretted the experiences we have shared on our trips as a family. We have traveled with Disney Cruise Line throughout the Bahamas, Caribbean, Alaska and Europe. Within our close circle of friends and family I have since become the "Mickey Boat Expert" answering their questions and helping them plan their own families' Disney Cruise Line adventures. It brings me just as much excitement to help them plan their trips as it does my own family's vacation!
