Me to my son this morning: “Today is Thankful Thursday, what are you thankful for?” Him: “I’m thankful for the money I made this week, and I’ll be thankful if you write a post about me, and oh, I’m thankful for you, Mami.” Here’s your post, Danny.  😉  I’m thankful for you. What are you thankful…

Merry Christmas from the happiest place on earth!  Thankful to be spending the week with our favorite Disney cast member, Lauren (and about 120,000 other bodies), and together celebrate this special holiday.  🙂 Family and friends, may peace and love be your gifts this Christmas.  The Divinest Heart that ever walked the earth was born today!…
