March is for mental health!

The creators of the March Disneybound Challenge changed it up this year, and boy, do I have some thoughts! It can be difficult to post every single day for a month straight, so they've shortened it to the first 15 days of March.

It's funny to me because I've had years where this challenge was an escape from my own mental health struggles, and I've had years where it's become so cumbersome to create a themed look every day... so the moral of the story is that a little flexibility is a good thing!

And how's this for mental health.... I've struggled with ADHD most of my life, and with that, I've gotten dates and times wrong. Guess what?? I did it with this VERY challenge! I got the dates mixed up and thought we were starting on the 6th!

Today's prompt was Pooh and Friends, but since it didn't have that prepared, instead enjoy my family's version of Rylee's emotions (the real life Rylee, not Riley from the movie 🤪) At Disneyland.

I think for the second half of the month, I'll share some of my favorite park looks so I'll put a Pooh one in with those. But for now, let's all give ourselves some grace and remember that mental health matters!

🌍✈️ Let's talk EUROPE!

It's so funny, when I started this travel planning journey, I assumed I'd be booking places that I know, using my knowledge of those areas (I'm talking to you, Disney Parks 🐭) Little did I know, Europe would be one of my big sellers! Lucky for me, Europe Express makes it effortless to plan for you! Whether you're craving the charm of Paris, the history of Rome, or the beaches of Barcelona, I can partner with EE craft a custom itinerary just for you. I had the pleasure of learning even more about what they do when I was in Florida a few weeks ago. Together we can offer:

✅ Tailor-made trips
✅ Exclusive hotel & transportation deals
✅ Expert support every step of the way
✅ Help planning your ENTIRE Europe trip from hotels to rail and air transport from country to country, activities and everything in between

Skip the stress and let us turn your Europe dreams into reality. ✨ Book now and explore Europe like never before! 🌟

Oh, and if you're curious.... YES there's a Disney Park in Europe so you better believe that's on my bucket list!

What Marriott location do YOU want to visit next?

Just a & appreciation post! I love trying out new Marriott hotels, and when we go on road trips we like to check out as many new ones as we can.

On this trip we stated at the Marriott Downtown at City Creek, the Sheraton Park City, and All 3 were great, and treated us awesome. Salt Lake had a donut wall, Park City had a free shuttle to scoot us around, and the Ga***rd Rockies treated us so nicely for our anniversary. I'd definitely recommend all of them!

If you don't know, I actually can book DIRECT with Marriott, so when you book with me you know you're getting the best price, and you can still earn those Bonvoy Points! So whether it's a single night in Amarillo, or a vacation at any if their amazing resorts world wide, let me help you book it!
