I'm just going to say that, unless you are playing a team sport or flipping burgers, matching shirts are a no no. I don't like kids in them, I don't like couples who wear them, and you can disagree with me all you like, that's you...we can still be friends. But for me? No. UNLESS, you are going to Disney, and here's why: Visibility: Your little anklebiters and the "adults" in your party will be easier to spot in the crowds Safety: Let's say, god forbid, you get separated from your kid. … [Read more...]

Disney Money Savings Jar & The Wet Method of Vinyl Application

  So, let this serve as your first and only warning: I am currently Disney Crazed.
