there's no place like home



Yesterday was kind of rainy so my outfit pictures leave a bit to be desired.. but I loved this outfit anyway. I'm really smitten with the buttery yellow and mint green combination (obviously.)

Right now I'm sitting at the Columbia Harbor House restaurant in the Magic Kingdom filling out my postcards from my sale this week. I have a beautiful view from the upstairs, and can see the Haunted Mansion, Splash Mountain (I think?) and a pretty bed of flowers on the windowsill. It's really weird to think that basically in the blink of an eye I'll be home again. Weird but nice -- I miss my kitties and my family! And my bed, lol. I always miss my bed.

for the first time in forever



Bonus outfit! I actually had this scheduled for last Sunday but blogger didn't post it for some reason :\ It seemed like the perfect follow-up to my post this morning about Frozen, though, since the skirt is Frozen themed! It's Elsa on one side and Anna on the other. Isn't that cute?!

My favorite princess is and always will be Belle, but Elsa is definitely high up on the list (although I guess she's technically a queen, so maybe she doesn't have to compete with Ariel after all.) I love Anna too, especially her awkwardness, but I feel like Elsa is more relatable, for me at least. Because I have super powers that can turn everything into ice. Didn't know that about me, did you?

do you want to build a snowman?



Yesterday we went to Hollywood Studios for the second time this week. They have so much Frozen-themed stuff going on! When I visited in February you'd never know that Disney had even released the movie, so it's nice to finally see it splashed all over the place now :) They have a dedicated store, Wandering Oaken's Trading Post (a little disappointing that you're not greeted with someone saying "yoo hoo! big summer blowout!" though ;) Frozen-themed snacks and treats and even Frozen themed fireworks at night (which were AWESOME)

Also I wrote an article about my mobile office for the etsy seller handbook blog today! You can take a peek here. Pretty exciting!!  I'm super thrilled about it :D  You can also view a little video of the setup process on my instagram here :)

around the world in 80 minutes



I overheard someone at Epcot yesterday refer to the World Showcase as "around the world in 80 minutes" and thought it was kind of clever :) Although I'd like to meet someone who can actually whiz through the whole thing that fast. It always takes me at least a couple of hours to soak it all in. My favorite pavilion is Mexico -- if you've never been there you have to go if you ever visit Epcot! It's indoors, and made to look like a Mexican village at night and it's absolutely beautiful. It's also one of the only countries that has a ride. There's a part of the ride that looks like It's a Small World so you better believe I like it ;)

This photo was taken in England, another favorite. Most of the countries have restaurants and shopping and not too much else -- but I swear I could just hang around listening to the cast members' accents all day and that would be enough for me. I'm working on mustering up the courage to fly internationally, but until then Epcot is the closest I can get to Paris or London :)
