Mother of the Year

Sydney, my five-year-old, announced that she did not want to go to Disneyworld this year for vacation. She wanted to go to Chicago to see a Cub's game with her Grandpa. WHAT?!?!?!

A friend of mine once said that Disney was the reward for being a good mother. When your baby chooses the Cubs over Mickey Mouse does that make you a bad mother?

Kidding aside, I was secretly relieved to not be planning a Disney trip this year. Tax season has been brutal (my husband is a CPA), I've been doing a lot of volunteer work for a friend of mine who is running for Congress and our house is on the market. February and March were a blur.

Once the dust began to settle and Spring had sprung, I began to get a little sad. Seems like everyone around me was planning a trip to DW and I found out that two of my BFFs from college were moving to Florida. I must not have disgused my moping very well because my husband announced that we ought to consider a trip to DW in early December.

BINGO! Christmas and The Mouse - It's like someone nominated me for Mother of The Year.

When I decided to start a Disney blog this winter, I was having a hard time finding the motivation to post, but now I will be able to blog about my planning. I know that I spend a lot of time online in the months leading up to a trip. I've gotten a lot of good advice from other Moms, and I hope to be able to provide the same for you.
