I’m in California for the Craft & Hobby Association Trade Show and since it’s right across the street from Disneyland… guess who I brought with me? The whole family!! We’re so excited to be here.

Instead of having a party for my son’s 9th birthday, I surprised him with Disneyland tickets. We’ll be celebrating his big day in style. It’s my kid’s first trip to a Disney park! FUN!

Birthday Surprise

I found some cool vintage Disney tickets online and edited them to say “We’re taking you to Disneyland!” I then wrapped them inside one of my very own lunch boxes from when I was a kid.

I told my son it was a VERY SPECIAL gift. His face was hilarious when he opened it to see an old rusty lunch box and said “What’s so special about this??” LOL!

After reading the ticket, he jumped for joy and so did his little sister. It was awesome!!

I have this old lunch box displayed on my office shelves, but forgot about the funny stickers!

Oh yes, I LOVED Charlie’s Angels! Mork & Mindy was the BEST too! I even had rainbow suspenders with a big plastic pointy hand attached… and wore them!

Okay, so if you don’t know WHY I would wear rainbow suspenders, then I’m probably old enough to be your mother. So don’t ask why. ha!

So no big party this year for my son! Maybe I’ll do something fun for him this summer if he’s good.

I’ll make these Disney Tickets available as a free printable when I get back home. For now, I’m going to enjoy some family time and lunch with Ariel, Belle, Cinderella, Jasmine, Snow White and Arora!!

Have a great weekend. -Amy

I recently got invited by the people at Medieval Times to join them for their new show in Dallas. If you’ve never been to one of these tournaments and dinner, you should go soon. I love doing fun family events, and this is definitely one of them!

When you show up, you get a crown and flag with your team’s colors. We were rooting for the Blue Knight!

It’s also a ton of fun for parents. I got to hang out with my friend Shauna while we waited for our daughter’s to get their faces painted. A must for all little girls right?

They were on the yellow team. Our arch enemies!

When the show begins, you are fascinated by the pretty horses and costumes.

To tell you the truth, I was more fascinated by my kid’s reactions, plus the crazy amounts of food they kept putting on my plate! Yum.

After the show, I asked them if they had a good time? I think this photo sums it up…

Check out Medieval Time’s new show & upgraded menu on November 18th – the first new show since 2007!

Medieval times gave my family and I free tickets to the show. All opinions and photos are my own. Thanks for the good times Medieval Times!
