Hello and welcome! I’m a writer, runner, reader, Disney lover, journal addict, Joyful Miles founder, wife of a great guy for 28 years, and mom of two awesome boys. I’m also 50. Fabulous, liberating things happen when you turn 50.Here’s where I chat about writing, books, planners, and journaling. To follow my running and runDisney adventures, head on over to Joyful Miles. If it confusing having two blogs? A wee bit. But I’m figuring things out as I go along.
What’s your last #Disney day tradition? 💖

Mine is spending time at Animal Kingdom’s gorgeous Pandora, my happy place! Na’Vi River is so pretty and peaceful. I just love the colors!! Flights of Passage is my absolute favorite ride and thanks to there being pee on my seat, @sarahud5 and I got to ride it twice as well as score another fast pass! 💖 Sheer happiness. I hope all the #PrincessHalf runners got home safe and sound, or will soon! 😘

For my fellow #Schofferhofer lovers … draft, bottle or can? Draft is my favorite but all of the above is just lovely as well!! Cheers! 🍻💜

My mom. 💜 Not only did she save my rear with last-minute ear making, but she also kept me hydrated with these lovely water cocktails! 💜 #runningcostume

NEW #PrincessHalf video with lots of singing and dancing and rhyming!!
🌸
Oops, I thought I had already finished and uploaded last year’s #PHM mile marker video but turns out, I didn’t! So in the spirit of #betterlatethannever >>the link is in my bio!
🌸
Oh, and we’re giving this tradition a fresh twist next weekend although we’ve gotten some great suggestions for mile 12. We’ll have to use them! 💖
