Mandy’s Place

I know that it has been a long time since I last posted (1 year ago). I have been a bit busy. Last May I decided to go back to school and earn a Master’s degree in Education. I turned in my paper work two days before the deadline and by a miracle made it [...]

One of the things that we love best about Disney World is the food.  We love to eat and experience the atmosphere of the different restaurants.  One of our discoveries this trip was the Nine Dragons at the China Pavilion in Epcot.  I have to admit that I have a hard time trying new places.  [...]

We had the best experience with Disney World.  We have food allergies in our family and we were concerned about eating in the many different restaurants in Disney World.  We made reservations at each restaurant and told them that we had food allergies.  After sitting down the head chef in each restaurant except China came [...]

Last night at the girls night out it was brought to my attention that I hadn’t blogged for at least three months.  So here is my attempt at keeping everyone up to date.
J started soccer.  I was nervous that he wouldn’t stay with the coach and listen. Well, he surprised me and did pretty much [...]

Seriously, I was shocked to find out that J has chicken pox!  He started out with a couple on his belly and then the next day he had a whole lot more.  The sad thing is that he had played with three of his friends and went to preschool when he was contagious.  I guess [...]

We just returned from a whirlwind adventure to Peru and Ecuador.  It has has been a life dream to see Machu Picchu.  When we heard talk of restricting access or even closing it we knew that we had to get there quick.  The opportunity came to go with a group my dad was taking and [...]

Tyler decided that I needed to be more tech savvy so he started my own web-site/blog.  He tries to teach me all about computer stuff, but I have to admit is sometimes goes in one ear and out the other.  I am excited to join the blogging phenomenon.  I’m sure you all are waiting with [...]
