Celebrating Our Disney Side with Mickey Mouse!
Note: I received free products in order to host a Disney Side @Home Celebration. The opinions expressed here are my own. When I received the email that we were selected to host a Disney Side @Home Celebration Party it was like I was eight years old again! There is just something about all things Disney that brings out the big kid in me! We had originally planned to have the party mid-February but had to postpone due to that wonderful neck injury I had last month (post coming up on how I cut the healing time in half!). But we couldn’t have asked for better weather yesterday and…

I always enjoy going to the PBS events because it reminds me how much I love their programming, but this Winter Tour was extra special because of the accommodations courtesy of The Langham Huntington, Pasadena Hotel. Driving through the gorgeous older Pasadena neighborhoods you are taken back in time. These neighborhoods were most likely built in the 1940’s and I can only imagine all the hustle and bustle of Hollywood during that time. To provide a visual,…
