And so it begins. Sending some of my saved favorite classroom books to my daughter to use as she works towards her teaching degree.

It was so odd arriving Wednesday at beach club with trees up…next morning all gone. We did take a few pics of the decor around the parks as we haven’t been able to see them before.

4 days. 4 races. 4 parks. 49.6 miles. So much fun this week(end) doing the Disney World Dopey Challenge. I got marathon Mickey ears!!!

I fear that facts aren’t going to matter anymore…we are so screwed.

Want to know how I know it’s race week? Everyone in the house has a cold. I swear this happens every single time. #rundisney

2024 is one I’d like to burn to the ground. Battled mental health hardcore. My dream race was disrupted by Covid. I need to remind myself that I pivoted & still crossed this finish line, for a 4th time. Husband & kids have been rockstars. Thank you @edarmofal.bsky.social for your constant support.

Hmmm mental note take a pic of self in front of the France slushy booth. 😬😂

If everyone could be a quarter of the kindness and person that Jimmy Carter was the world would be a better place.

At the rink waiting for my kiddo watching the local high school team board a bus for an away hockey team. Gotta love high school boys in suits, sneakers & bleached out mullets. 😂 #hockeyhair

Hope you are feeling better. Sending hugs.

Have a very merry one, hopefully you are with people you love and are able to have a moment of peace today. Happy Hanukkah as well. 🎄❤️✨

I legit said this to the woman at our package store. I was like ummm you know I’m back here a few times before Christmas right? 😂

Our oldest is freezing her butt off at the game and LOVING it. She says it’s the loudest she has heard the stadium all year.

Happy birthday to the guy that always is there to take a hand and make sure we are good/loved. Our favorite Disney Dad/husband. @edarmofal.bsky.social 🎉🍻🎂

Haven’t heard from you in years, you don’t acknowledge me in public and yet you have the balls to text me about helping your kid get a job where I used to work. (Haven’t worked there in over a year, not that you know that!) 😬🤦‍♀️🙄

Last holiday concert/sing-a-long for us as parents (the youngest is not a musician). This is one of my favorite concerts. They do an amazing carol of the bells. Brought my parents & loved that my Dad enjoyed the sing-a-long part too. #choirconcert #christmasconcert #senioryear

Love our local small book store. Always helping with suggestions and orders. They wrapped the books I purchased & provided a cute bell to go with the new copy of Polar Express I bought for a new baby in the family.

Kids have a 3 hour delay. I’m enjoying coffee, the tree and some peace before the week begins. Happy Monday all. 🎄✨❄️

Sending extra love, thoughts, prayers and hugs to our neighbors in Newtown, especially 26 families. 💚

Amazing! So jealous. Enjoy!!

OMG!!! Throw in having a high school senior this year with colleges answering applications. I might need to start chugging vodka or just pop gummies like they are vitamins.

Celebrating as a family (minus one) “letters” from colleges that have finally come in for the middle child. Proud of her. Hopefully a few more to go before decisions are made, but amazing to see her hard work paying off. The stress was stressing!! #senioryear

The stress is stressing.

Cheers…as we watch Penn State take on Oregon in Big Ten football championship.

Happy anniversary.

Some of these parents should focus on what their kids are watching as opposed to what books are available in a library for everyone. Stop freaking banning books!

My parents are celebrating their 53rd wedding anniversary today. This is my favorite pic from their wedding, as they departed in style. They are such an incredible example of strength, love & family.

Hershey park!!!
