About Me
Besides collecting colorful Minnie ears, I love taking photos of life's best moments and making memories with my Prince Charming and our mighty little princes. Much like my favorite princess, I need adventure in the Great Wide Somewhere, so I've enjoyed visiting Disney parks in faraway places (my husband even proposed to me at Disneyland Paris!) I've also felt proud to participate in runDisney half marathons on each coast and each chateau. I've been a Disney bride, enjoyed the Disney adult life, and now I've finally become a Disney mom! As a nursing MamaBear, I regularly visit the resort with my tiny tots in tow.
About My Family
My parents' story, like Princess Tiana's, began down in New Orleans. But before I was born, they started their California Adventure and have been taking my brother, sister, and me to the Disneyland Resort ever since. So, you can find this Creole girl in New Orleans Square any day of the week! Growing up with siblings here at The Happiest Place on Earth and having cousins on the opposite coast who are regular guests at The Most Magical Place On Earth, my family and I have always shared a love for all things Disney. Nowadays, my cast of characters includes my Mr. Incredible, our lively little "Jack-Jack", and brand new little Squirt!
About My Disney Experience
Disney has been woven into so many of my life's milestones that it always brings to mind the Happiest moments. Growing up in Southern California, my siblings and I felt the sparkling delight and wonder of parades and meeting our favorite characters. One summer, we even celebrated our birthdays on the Big Red Boat, cruising through the Florida Keys. Fast forward to countless adults-only trips with friends as annual passholders, where new surprises and nostalgia filled our hearts. While living in France, I became an annual passholder at Disneyland Paris, and I’ve spent several winter holidays taking my teenage students there, adding another layer of magic to my Disney journey. Then I met my One True Love, and we’ve been enjoying our Happily Ever After Disney romance ever since. Now, as a Momma-lorian, I get to relive it all with my own little Mouseketeers, watching them fall in love with the dazzling charms of Disneyland, just as I did. The spirit of imagination lives on, and I guess Disney truly is where Dreams Come True!
