Want to know something silly?

It's taken me half the day to post a Small Business Saturday post because I'm TERRIBLE at promoting myself on days like today. Everything I write seems trivial and, well, silly 😜

The truth? I'm a big nerd and when you choose to utilize my services as a travel advisor I do a happy dance. When I receive a referral from a past client or have a repeat client reach out I get a huge smile on my face. Every share and like puts a little pep in my step. Because let's be honest - by choosing to work with me you're supporting a small business and my family.

I am so incredibly thankful for everyone that places their trust in me when it comes to your valuable vacation memories. Yes, traveling is a fun "perk" of this job but moreso it's an opportunity for me to further my knowledge about a location, get photos and videos to show you what room will be perfect for your family and know that perfect spot for a stroller nap or adult only nightcap.

Thank you for the incredible year that you've given me and I can't wait to serve this community for the years to come ✨

I used to stand in long lines and fight the crowds - but then I learned.

There's no reason to stand in long lines and wish that you had known that you were visiting during a crowded weekend - consult a crowd calendar and know what to expect! I've visited Walt Disney World during every season and know what to expect with crowds and want to pass that knowledge along to you!

Save this post to refer back to throughout the year so you know what to expect!

We all hate crowds - comment "CROWD" for my FREE guide with even more things to consider to help beat the crowds at Disney and plan the best trip possible for your family!

💄Happy Swiftoween!! 🎤😎

If you ever wondered where the inspiration for The Getaway Cruise came from look no further this little Swiftie here. That and mom that's just crazy enough to say "why the hell not?".

I haven't had the heart to tell her that I'm going on the Rep Era cruise without her.....but hey, she's coming to Alaska (Evermore/Folklore Era)! I can't wait to surprise her with that soon.

I'm ready to be spammed with all of your Halloween costume pics! There's been so many great ones this year!

So....how should I tell Grace that we're going to Alaska in 2026?

She's an ICON 🤩

Little Miss P and her adoring fans (aka the rest of the family) had the most amazing time on the Icon of the Seas this month!

The Icon is a MUST do for large families - there was so much to do for everyone that they didn't even leave the ship! 🤯 From dance parties to meeting Chief Dog Rover to solo time in the pool, a carousel and Zumba classes, there wasn't a moment that wasn't full of memories.

Thank you for trusting me with your precious family vacation memories and ! I can't wait to plan your next adventure!

Let's break down Lightning Lane Premier Pass...

What do you think about the new option? Tell us in the comments!

Why this is so important ⬇️

If Hurricanes Helene and Milton have taught us anything when it comes to travel it's the importance of travel insurance!

Sure, there are some vacation spots like Disney World and Disneyland that are much easier to switch things around on and have flexible cancellation policies when disasters strike.

But other vacations, like most cruises and some all inclusives, are nearly IMPOSSIBLE to change without penalties and fees after that final payment is made. Don't get me started on airline tickets 😵‍💫

Most vacation suppliers that I work with have their own vacation protection or insurance that they offer and these are usually the easiest to work with. Many major credit cards also have protection on vacation products purchased with their card (check to see exactly what it covers).

And if neither of those are a good fit there's outside companies that offer vacation protection as well - some will even cover you for a full year's worth of travel!

I know it's an additional vacation cost but the peace of mind knowing that you don't have to worry about things being refundable and can focus on your family - that's priceless!

Do you usually purchase travel insurance? Let me know in the comments!

I will 100% always recommend staying at a Walt Disney World resort - the benefits speak for themselves!

Finding the right resort for clients is something I'm passionate about -- I truly believe that it sets the tone for your vacation and is so much more than a place to lay your head at night!

What's your favorite Disney resort?

To celebrate I'll be picking a few people who comment below to get coffee on me! Just tell me your favorite coffee order in the comments.

So what's your favorite - Joffrey's or Starbucks?

🎡California Dreamin' 🌴

Our longest family vacation that was a mix of work and fun for me but ALLLLLLL fun for Grace and Mike (and I wouldn't have it any other way).

This was Grace's first time to Disneyland and Mike hadn't been since 2012 when we went together for our first visit. I left my content creator hat at home and was in full mom mode. Selfies galore and core memories created.

Don't worry - I still put on my travel agent hat and tested out a few strategies too. I have sent countless families to Disneyland but it was great to see that my recommendations still held true and I was able to test out a few new ones too.

Stay tuned for more Disneyland strategies and guides but for now a few memories that deserved a spot in this tiny grid ❤️

What's your favorite ride at Disneyland? I'll put mine in the comments!

What's something you've been proud of lately?

For me, it's the Inaugural Conference that I helped coordinate at Disneyland last week with the amazing DVMoms admin team.

Two years ago when I was asked to help with this conference I thought "that's a great opportunity for me as a travel agent to expand my business and also help a community that I'm a part of".

Needless to say it was SO much more.

Yes, it has helped my business - 300ish DVMoms attended and most stayed at the Disneyland Hotel for the 3 day conference with many extending their stays to include family time in the parks. I worked with so many DVMoms, helping them navigate the parks and maximize their stays. I created a fully branded Disneyland Parks guide for the conference that has MY name and on it. I'm immensely proud of the work that went into all of that.

I'm even prouder of what this conference was doing. From the unique and novel ways that seminars were presented - from playing games to learn concepts and painting the brain while we learned about brain mapping to making our conference bags a template for embroidery that could keep our hands busy and help us absorb traditional lectures better. I can personally attest to the fact that I WILLINGLY stayed in lectures until 6 PM....while at DISNEYLAND 🤯. Not to mention the fact that there was an easily accessible childcare option for attendees to utilize that the kids LOVED and it allowed moms to then enjoy time at Disneyland with their families after the conference. This conference was making changes to the industry that can only help us.

On a personal level I've grappled with how to still incorporate veterinary medicine into my life since leaving clinical practice. Even though clinical practice isn't the right place for me during this chapter of life I experienced so much fulfillment helping these veterinary families have meaningful family experiences through travel. This conference opened up my eyes to the idea of creating more opportunities for DVMoms to travel together, with or without our families, and fill back up our cups 💕

So, what are YOU proud of lately?

🥂 Cheers to 1 Million 🥂

Right before we left for our cruise I hit ONE MILLION dollars in lifetime travel volume (ie, clients that booked AND traveled)!

My path took some time and I admit that I would sometimes get frustrated and discouraged when others bypassed my numbers..but that's the beauty of it. It's MY path and what was meant to happen did exactly that.

My travel business had just started to really take off when the pandemic hit (ooof!). I was still in the clinic and reached a spot where I couldn't grow any further because I just didn't have the time. Left the clinic and allowed myself to fully expand....and here we are.

One. MILLION. 🤯

THANK YOU for trusting me with your precious vacation memories. I cherish every text, social media tag, photo and thank you card that comes my way. This career isn't one that I ever imagined for myself but yet has brought me so much joy.

The crazy part? This is just the beginning 💕

🚢 Bon Voyage!🚢

We're headed out on the Disney Fantasy on the Inaugural Lighthouse Point cruising!

We're unplugging for the week so we'll share everything when we get back next week! 💙

Want to go on a cruise but unsure which cruise line is right for you?

It can be confusing and overwhelming - I get it. I love helping my clients pick the cruise line (and ship!) that's right for their family, whether it's the super family friendly Disney Cruise Line or the adult only Virgin Voyages.

I want you to have a memorable cruise vacation and getting you set up with the right brand is the first part!

Which cruise line is your favorite? Tell me in the comments!

I only have one request for Mothers Day each year - to recreate this photo that we took on Grace's first trip to Walt Disney World (to Epcot of course!).

This year was special because it was 7 years to the day from when we did the first photo and we even had our friends visiting from Maryland that were there for the first photo as well.

Happy Mother's Day to all of my fellow mothers and those that are mothers in their heart ❤️

Do you have a photo or tradition that you recreate each year?

Happy Global Travel Advisor Day from DISNEYLAND!

I can't thank everyone enough for making the past year absolutely incredible! You've helped me make the leap from being part time to full time and it's been more fulfilling than I could ever imagine.

Thank you for trusting me with your precious vacation time and memories. You should see the little happy dance that I do whenever I see a new inquiry come in!

Thank you for all of the shares, referrals and general good vibes - it doesn't go unnoticed!

Tell me - what's your number one on your travel bucket list?
