One Secret to Success for a Working Mom, Expand Your Village (Jack and Jill of America)

Jack and Jill of America member and her daughter Recently, I have become keenly aware that good kids are created by accident. They become good because someone made a concerted effort to pour positive things into them--things like, honor, discipline and respect for others. These qualities are taught through lessons and by observation. For that reason, I have been actively considering how to give my children more examples of people who embody those qualities.  Indeed, raising my children to become good people is my most important job.

Toddler at Disney

Most people write about the characters,rides, and parades that make Disney magical. I won't lie, those are AWESOME and I'll likely share some specific thoughts about them.

You may even fantasize about how that man should come home with you and administer his magic...daily--especially during the morning and at bath time. You  may consider making the man an offer to come home with you--one that he could easily refuse because...Bank Account. 

Your budget was blown by the trip you're on and affording a personal makeup artist aka "Baby Whisperer" is simply ludacris. Still...a girl can dream, can't she?!

And the toddler's enjoyment was priceless! He is still asking to be transformed!
