Many people have a place or activity that they turn to when they feel down. After my Grandmother passed when my Mom was down I would suggest a Disneyland visit. We’ve always been a Disney family but once I had kids it changed, I see the park differently and I love it even more because I am experiencing it through their eyes. It was recently explained to me that it’s because it’s a place of fantasy. I don’t want my children to grow-up in a fantasyland, I want them to know that there are struggles in life and that all things aren’t pretend. From a previous post you know that as a family we are in the most trying time in our lives. Our children do not know there are issues, rather that mommy has a different place she lives, we call it the new normal and explain that there is a lot of in between normal we experience throughout life. Over the past month I have been spending more and more time at home as we reconstruct and start building a new future. Life has been good and life has been tough. If you follow me on Instagram you know that we go to Disneyland just about every week or bi-weekly. Just like I used to do for my Mom after my Grandma passed I have found myself resorting to a visit to Disneyland. I have found a new meaning in the phrase, “the happiest place on Earth”. I no longer stress out over visits, the kids and I try something new each visit and we call ourselves the little explorers. It has been very difficult for me to blog, I have neglected this space and I believe that if I begin to write about things I love like our visits to Disneyland then a new love will form. I look forward to sharing our Disney adventures, travel & park tips, yummy food and the joy we have as a family at the park.
