A look at how I put together my Ember Elemental running costume: I’ve participated in Disney’s Princess race weekend every year since 2014 (except for when they switched it to virtual in 2021 and 2022).

Disney mug of the month: Too cute to Spook
I have some surprising news to share: I went to Disney World for 6 days the first week of September and I did not come home with a mug. This is really only surprising news if you know me, because I (obviously) love Disney mugs and typically come back with one from every trip. For […]
