Be silly. Be fun. Be different. Be crazy. Be you, because life is too short to be anything but happy. … Going through my packed boxes to get stuff to take back to Texas. We planned on being able to get all my stuff much earlier, but we just couldn’t make it work, timingwise or moneywise (we spent it in Europe instead- no regrets!) And I am trying desperately to find my clothes boxes but of course they are the big heavy ones on the very bottom in the back! 🤦🏼‍♀️ Luckily I found all of Jasmin’s clothes before they get too small! . . . #mickeystyle #mickeymouseoutfit #disneystyle #disneydressup #beauthentic #besilly

I’m wishing, that I had another trip planned, even though I am currently in Idaho having a lovely time with my family. I started showing them pictures and giving souvenirs and it has me wishing to plan another trip. At least I have amazing clients and I get to plan amazing trips for them! …. I didn’t get to do as many bounds as I wanted to on our honeymoon because we packed as light as we could and were gone for a whole month. I didn’t plan this bound or this cute little day trip with @tinarene90 ‘s family to Bacharach, but was able to put it together with my luggage day of and I’m pretty proud of that! . . . #thedisneybound #Disneybounding #snowwhiteandthesevendwarfs #disneyineurope #bacharach #imwishing #snowwhitedisneybound

Happy Thrifty Thursday!! Last week we took Jasmin to the goodwill bins for the first time. On the way there she asked me “mom, why do you only like shopping for other people’s old stuff?” So we had an important conversation about reusing and recycling and trying to protect our planet. But also that I just love hunting for treasure and that we find the most unique things when we thrift And she said “oh, so we’re giving trash a makeover” … I love that so much and now that is the only way we will be describing thrifting around here! And Jasmin is an artist when it comes to turning trash into treasure! In that she will actually take things out of the trash and turn them into a cute little craft! … To help you have an extra great thrifty Thursday, Here are some of my favorite accounts that are experts in turning trash into treasure: @heyblondieonline @fantasybyhelgam @vintagevsvogue @peggybeadarling @blinkystopgo @yay.ima.llama.again @kansasmichalke Tag your faves in the comments so we can all find and follow more thrifting accounts! #thriftythursday #trashtotreasure #goodwillbins #saversthriftstore #thriftfinds

So stinkin dang happy to have these photos and the memories that come with them. I am beyond blessed to have the sweetest friends! I told @bryanblackmountain that I hadn’t been able to go to Disneyland with Jasmin since before 2020, and when I came to pick her up from her dad’s, he arranged a DIsney day for us! She was 4 last time we went to the parks and there were a lot of rides she wasn’t tall enough for, so e got to have a lot of new experiences together! We rode Indy, Matterhorn, guardians of the galaxy, big thunder! She told me guardians felt like flying and she can’t wait to go again! …. So blessed that I got to spend my day with friends! @pidayfamily got to join us just like old times! And thank you @jduble626 for taking our pictures! It was the most beauty perfect day!!! . . . #Disneyday #mickeytomyminnie #fabfive #toontown #disneyfriends #minniestyle #disneylandmagic #magicofdisney #disneybounding

Disneyland Paris …. It’s a small park but so much fun to visit! Our favorites were Big Thunder, Ratatouille ride, and the Avengers ride. We splurged on the premier access pass for one day and skipped to the front of almost every single ride with it. It was so worth it! Especially if you only have one or two days to visit. … It has been a goal of mine to visit all the Disney parks and I am so excited that we crossed Paris off the list! Added bonus that I got to experience it with my sweet husband! We are hoping to go to Disney World next as we have both only been once but didn’t really get to experience it when we went! And of course Jasmin has never been! I love that this is research for my job as a Travel Agent too! . . . #disneylandparis #honeymooninparis #disneyparksuk #travelagentlife

Finally back home and it feels very strange. We are completely exhausted but feel so stinking blessed to have had this grand adventure and see/meet so many friends along the way. …. Look at these amazing shots that Scott got for me! He was so sweet and patient and worked so hard with me to get the shots I wanted for an entire month! It was so incredibly amazing to watch my bucketlist pinterest board come to life with the love of my life!

📍Burg Eltz …. The second thing I got to cross off my bucket list! I can’t believe I finally got to go and I can’t believe that it worked out so well. One of my besties lives two hours away. So the three of us went together and had a lovely time. ….. It was a little rainy, but the rain didn’t last for too long so the crowds really weren’t too bad. And by just waiting a bit around the entrance we had some great pockets of time where there were no people. And sad to say we almost didn’t get these because it started raining a lot more so we were waiting for the shuttle and then looked back and saw no people on the bridge so we ran over and @tinarene90 snapped this magical photo for us! Sorry for two Belle disneybounds right in a row, but I am so in love with this photo that I just had to post it! . . . #burgeltz #eltzcastle #germanycastle #beautyandthebeastcosplay #disneybounding #disneybound

Heard this audio this morning and after tearing up at it, I immediately made this video. …. I don’t know if I’ve ever related to something so much. Life is short, and we get so stuck in our routines of working and working and not having the opportunity for experiencing! Do not let life rob you of the joy you deserve! Be intentional in planning trips and experiences and fun! Days, weeks, months, and years can go by and before you realize it the time is gone. Make a plan, even if it’s for the smallest, cheapest moments! Sometimes those are actually the richest! …. And so grateful for these beautiful magical moments with the people who mean the most to me in my life. ….

And then when I meet my favorite Princess I am dressed as Merlin! 🤦🏼‍♀️😅 …. Any excuse to wear a fabulous dress right? A little late to this trend (as always) but just had to post it! . . . #princessdress #merlin #disneyprincesses #swordinthestone #disneydressup #disneybounding #disneycosplayers

Don’t go breaking my heart! …. Getting ready for our first Renaissance Faire! None of us have ever gone and we are so excited! I have always adored Ella enchanted and this seemed like the perfect bound to dip our toes into the Renaissance scene with. Not to mention our outfits were super comfy as well especially for how hot it was! …. Also super grateful for this amazing guy who doesn’t love being behind the camera but said “where do you want me to stand?” After I told him I wanted to make a ren faire outfit reel! Love him so much! . . . #ellaenchanted #annehathaway #hughdancy #renaissancefaire #renfaire #sherwoodforestfaire #disneybounding
