It looks like these two had a BLAST at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party last week! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your memory making….again! It is such an honor to get to book for repeat clients and dear friends! I seriously love my people!

These two gorgeous girls spent their fall break cruising around having a good time! What an honor and privilege it was to book this cruise for them and their precious families! The memories they just made will last a lifetime! I love my job!

Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party Review:

I am a very frugal person by nature. The only time I will spend a lot is if I really want something or on a vacation. I can’t help it. I was a stay-at-home for 10 years who had to be frugal to get to live my dream of being with my children.

Last night, I finally took my personal family to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party for the first time, and it was UNBELIEVABLE!!! Yes, it was a decent amount of money, but it was 1000% worth it! Now, my crew will not come during the fall without doing it! Money WELL spent!!!

Our second Disney resort of the trip has been All Star Music! We’ve stayed at all of the other values, and this was our final one. I must say…..I like it a lot! It’s extremely clean and has a great layout/theming! Also, it has family suites for larger families!!! This is a great value alternative for families just looking for a place to crash at night (like mine)!

We did something a little different tonight and dined with spooky Halloween characters! It was definitely a meal for the memory books and something that I will always cherish! No matter how many times my children have seen them, it is still so special. AND for it to be themed for the season…..priceless! ☑️

We have arrived, and this time we brought our children back to the resort where we spent our honeymoon 19.5 years ago! Disney is magical regardless of the time of year and regardless of how many times you’ve been!

My goal as a vacation designer is to help families....and today I was able to save two families some major money on their upcoming trips! Talk about making my afternoon wonderful! I saved one family over $400 and another family that is ready to book a little over $1000 on their upcoming vacations! It was a GREAT afternoon in the office, and I would love to make it even better by working with you!

Disney decided to release some great promotions this morning for the first half of 2025! If you are considering a trip to Walt Disney World between February-June 2025, please message me! Lets get this started for you! And don't forget, it is just $200 to hold a vacation until final payment date! I can't wait to see who I can help next!

When you work really hard for your people and they notice!

THIS is why I do what I do! I love helping my people make lasting memories with their people. ❤️

“The years are short……”

This is one of the most truthful and realistic statements you will ever hear. Yes, we’ve spent a lot of money traveling over the years. Do I regret it? Absolutely not! The memories that our family has made over the years become more and more priceless because it is so unbelievably true that time passes too quickly. And looking back at these monogrammed ears from each of our babies’ first trips makes it all seem surreal.

Don’t wait. Take the trip. Make the memories.

I’m here and ready when you are. ❤️😉

Christmas at Beaches sounds like the PERFECT holiday!!! Let’s get started today!!!

02/09/2024

This Labor Day has been a busy one for me! I feel blessed to have worked on all types of vacations from cruises to WDW to DisneyLand to Beaches to Sandals to other types of all inclusives!

When I tell you I can help you with most trips…..I mean it! I’m ready and excited to help you next!

Last night I was working on dream vacations for families and couples that included Beaches, Sandals, and even other all-inclusives in Punta Cana! And honestly…..it was very affordable!

You can have the vacation you’ve always dreamed of! Let’s get started today!

Today I was reminded of the importance of supporting small businesses.

I’m giving my mom a birthday party, and everything that I bought was bought from a small business owner. The food came from a locally owned grocery store. The cakes came from a mom and pop bakery. Even the gift came from a mom friend who is a stay at home mom running a small business. The realization of this made me so happy because I know that I just supported so many local families who are just trying to provide for their families. ❤️

In turn, I truly appreciate all of the clients (past, present, and future) who support my small business. You are supporting my family of 5, and just know that your support is appreciated so much! ❤️

I’m working this morning on everything from NYC to DC to Sandals! I would LOVE to help you next! 😉

I have officially been a vacation designer for 9 years now! Yesterday, August 18, was my anniversary in the business. I really wish I could count all of the families I’ve been able to work with and help over the years. It has been such a blessing to me, and I will forever be grateful to those families for allowing me to be a part of their lives! I truly love what I do, and I love my people! Thank you for trusting me!

And to my future clients…thank you in advance for supporting my small business and allowing me to share my knowledge and expertise with you to design your future adventures! I look at each trip as an opportunity to help and an opportunity to make your life a little easier and more enjoyable. Just know that when you book with me……you are special to me! ❤️

If you don’t currently have a countdown set for your next vacation, you need one! I can help you! Everybody needs something to look forward to!

Where can I send you next!?!

12/08/2024

Did you know that you can book trips further out and pay on them as you go? After satisfying a small deposit, you can make payments along the way until you reach your final payment date! That takes a lot of the pressure off of your bank account, and you don’t have to come up with the full amount all at once!

It is not too late to book for 2024 and definitely not too early to book for 2025! Let me know where I can send you next!

I just booked my own son’s senior trip for summer 2025! I got a GREAT deal booking this far in advance and with current promotions being offered!

Do not delay! It is NOT too early to look at 2025 trips!

23/07/2024

Did you know that you can book far in advance!?!

All suppliers allow at least a year in advance, and several allow more than that!

Don’t put off that dream vacation! Book in advance and make payments as you go leading up to the final payoff date!

I’m already booking some of my favorite people for Fall Break 2025! Love it! Let’s get started with yours next!

I’ve spent the last few days helping clients with quotes for future trips, helping them with travel insurance options, and just simply taking the stress away so they can enjoy the planning of their vacation. I feel so blessed to be able to do that for my people. Vacations are meant to be enjoyed. I want to help make them as enjoyable as possible. That’s why I’m here. And it doesn’t hurt that my services don’t cost you anything! No stress for free. You cannot beat that!

It is not too late to plan for Fall or Winter 2024, and it is not too early to plan for anytime in 2025! Just let me know where you want to go! ❤️

Over the years, my husband and I have always made family vacations a priority. We are a “budget” family, and we’ve always just planned ahead and budgeted throughout the year to include a nice family vacation. Now that my kids are older and one is only a year from going off to college, I cannot tell you how thankful I am that we’ve always made our trips a priority. Oh, the memories and stories we can all tell about each and every trip. ❤️

My advice…..don’t wait. Take the trip. Make it a priority. Time doesn’t come back around. Enjoy while you can!

(Throwback to one of their earlier Disney trips. I would LOVE for them to be this little again. 😢)
