The Gay Mother...Goes to Disneyland!

On March 10th my partner, my middle son and my partner's daughter (who I consider my step daughter) went to Disneyland. The weather was not to hot and not to cold. The crowds were thin. We never had a really long wait time and used fast past whenever we could. Everyone got along wonderfully. It was one of those days that you always want to keep having...it was that perfect (yeah I know how that sounds but it just really was a perfect day).

We earned out tickets through the Disney Give a Day Get a Day volunteer program. We made blankets for children in hospitals and this is something we hope to do as a family when there isn't a promotion. We were getting ready to exchange our vouchers for tickets when a man, his wife and their child came up to us. They had apparently won or gotten a press pass of four tickets and they didn't need one of them so they gave it to us. I used their ticket so I still have my voucher and we hope to go back in October. I've always wanted to go to Disneyland when it's decorated for Halloween.

Here are a few pictures from our day of fun:

Dragon’s Trove Treasures: A Great Place to Shop for Handcrafted Gifts

There is a neat website that sells handcrafted wine charms, candles and dream catchers. I've enjoyed looking at the different wine charms she sells and they would be an ideal gift for the wine drinker.

Do you know of any websites that offer handcrafted items? Share them here. I firmly believe that handcrafted gifts can also be more special to give them a mass produced one.
