Did you know that today is #NationalDayOfListening? Vincent Van Gogh once said “ It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to, the feeling for the things themselves, for reality is more important than the feeling for pictures.” Sometimes in these chaotic times, it’s more important than ever to take the time to teach children about how to listen to the quiet sounds that nature can bring One of the most important gifts you can give a child is to teach them how to just back and take in nature. To look at the birds, listen to their singing, go hiking, and walking along the beach, playing games and yes, even sometimes being alone with the great outdoors. When you're outside, and everything is highland, it's like nature has its own sound - it’s the sound of the continuity of life, that life that has been here long before us and the life that will be here long after we are gone.

The pages of a good book can take us anywhere we want to go it is a journey through the imagination that opens wondrous world to us all especially when it is through the eyes of Dr. Seuss. To be able to step into the world of Seuss at @universalorlando and see it come to life is like nothing I’ve ever experienced! Suddenly there was The Cat In The Hat, Thing 1 & Thing 2, Skeetches and my beloved Horton The Elephant who saved The Whos and teaches so many valuable lessons to as all. (AD) Thanks to my partnership with @tripadvisor and @viatortravel I was able to be transported from the #WizardingWorldOfHarryPotter to Solla Sollew and other magical places from my favorite stories all brought to life. #UniversalOrlando once again reminded me of the wisdom of Horton .. “I say! How confusing! I've never heard tell Of a small speck of dust that is able to yell, So you know what I think? Why I think that there must be someone on top of that small speck of dust. Some poor little person Who's shaking with fear That he'll blow in the pool! He has no way to steer! He's alone in the universe! I'll just have to save him Because after all, A person's a person, no matter how small. A person's a person no matter how.... “ What is your favorite Dr.Seuss tale? . . . . . . #Universal #TripMaximizer #TripAdvisor #ThingsToDoAtUniversal #Seuss #SeussLanding #UniversalMoments #IslandsOfAdventure #VisitOrlando #travel #instatravel #travelgram #travelblogger #TravelingWithKids #SoloTraveler #MultigenerationalTravel #NorCalMoms #NorCalMomsTravel #TripAdvisorAmbassador #MVPTravel #KnowYourWorld #UnitedJourney (at Seuss Landing)

At some point you just have to let go of what you thought should happen and live in what is happening. I’ve had the most wondrous life. I’ve learned to be happy now no matter what the day may bring and to not wait for the somedays or tomorrow’s yet to be. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it’s at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored, I choose to be happy for this moment because this moment right now is my life and what an amazing journey and gift it has been. What have you learned this year that you wish you would’ve known long ago? #LifeInTheMoment #Life #MomentsInLife #happiness #PeaceWithin #FindingMyself . . . . #Hawaii #VisitHawaii #travelblogger #instagood #instatravel #TravelingWithKids #SoloTraveler #MultigenerationalTravel #NorCalMoms #NorCalMomsTravel #TripAdvisorAmbassador #TripMaximizer #UnitedJourney #KnowYourWorld #LifeLessPlanned #FindingTheLaughter #FindingTheJoy #UnitedForTheHolidays #TravelSkills (at Oahu Coastline) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrmNPBtg-94/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nclqnra17g7g

Some days You just need to kick back, relax, and just enjoy the ride- especially when your vantage point is from your inner tube as you float down the Winding River at #TyphoonLagoon and just allow yourself to float along and go with the flow. There’s something magical about allowing this wondrous meandering creek to take you where it may and All you have to do is sit back and enjoy the ride. With 5 landings along the 2,000-foot-long route it’s as easy as 1-2-3 to dive into the relaxing retreat of this continuous, flowing river that winds its way around all of Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon. Here you can drift aimlessly along, soaking up the sun as you enjoy refreshing cool mists, thundering waterfalls, overhead rope bridges and lush rainforest landscapes on your gentle journey through the cavernous tunnel carved into Mount Mayday. You might even see storm-tossed debris on the riverbanks as you float by. Let your cares and worries drift away, grab a tube and soak up the sun- life will still be there when you return from your journey but You’ll be so relaxed you’ll be ready to take on the world. What’s your favorite way to unplug and unwind? #DisneyWaterParks #DisneysTyphoonLagoon #WaltDisneyWorld . . . . . #WaltDisneyWorldResort #DisneyPartner #DisneyParksLive #WDWToday #DisneyWaterParks #DisneySMMC #DisneyMoms #travel #instatravel #travelgram #travelblogger #VisitOrlando #TravelingWithKids #SoloTraveler #MultigenerationalTravel #NorCalMoms #NorCalMomsTravel #TripAdvisorPartner #UnitedJourney #KnowYourWorld #UnitedAirlines (at Disney's Typhoon Lagoon)

When Walt Disney created Disneyland He envisioned a place where families of all ages could go and lose themselves in the magic and 63 years later #Disneyland is still home to me. This week we are returning home To create new memories that will last a lifetime with 1 Grammy and 4 Grandkids It’s safe to say that shenanigans will ensue. I come from a time where I remember the Matterhorn being built I remember that very first time on the Monorail and back When the Submarine didn’t have Nemo but for the grandkids it is all about Disney California Adventure Park (AD) Which Disneyland is your Disneyland- old or new or somewhere in between? #GrandmaAndMe . . . . . . #DisneylandResort #DisneyPartner #DisneyCaliforniaAdventure #DCA #Disneygram #DisneyIG #DisneylandAttractions #PixarFest #PixarPier #DisneylandToday #DisneyParksLive #ThingsToDoAtDisney #travel #instatravel #travelgram #travelblogger #TravelingWithKids #MultigenerationalTravel #NorCalMoms #DisneySMMS #DisneySMMoms #DisneyMom #NorCalMomsTravel #TripAdvisor #TripAdvisorAmbassador #UnitedJourney #KnowYourWorld (at Disneyland)

Why is Disney unlike anything else? Because of the details in the storytelling. It is not just merely about building a castle but a castle that brings different aspects of the story to life. Walt Disney once said “To captivate our varied and worldwide audience of all ages, the nature and treatment of the fairy tale, the legend, the myth have to be elementary, simple. Good and evil, the antagonists of all great drama in some guise, must be believably personalized. The moral ideals common to all humanity must be upheld. The victories must not be too easy. Strife to test valor is still and will always be the basic ingredient of the animated tale, as of all screen entertainments.” What is your favorite fairy tale come to life at #DisneyParks #DisneyParksLive #CastlesOfDisney #DisneyVillains . . . . . #WaltDisneyWorld #Disneyland #Disneygram #DisneyIG #AnimalKingdom #WDWToday #DisneylandToday #Fantasyland #MVPTravel #ThingsToDoAtDisney #travel #instatravel #travelgram #travelblogger #TravelingWithKids #SoloTraveler #MultigenerationalTravel #NorCalMoms #DisneySMMS #WDWToday #DisneySMMoms #DisneyMom #NorCalMomsTravel #TripAdvisor #TripAdvisorAmbassador

“Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious...and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.”- Walt Disney. I’ll never forget my first visit to Disney’s California Adventure Park. It was a dreary rainy opening weekend and yet in spite of the weather the magic shined through With this new and exciting addition to my beloved Disneyland Resort. Over the years, the Park has gone through many changes but one thing has remained the same- the spirit of a young Walt Disney arriving in Southern California in the 1920’s. Some attractions are already but a memory I am in just a few short weeks another transformation will occur as Pixar Pier opens bringing with it all the joy that the movies from Pixar have brought to so many of us. It’s hard to let go of a beloved friend but I’m excited to see what the future holds. We’re counting down the days to June 23 and the opening of #PixarPier at #DisneyCaliforniaAdventurePark. What attraction do you miss the most from #DCA? #Disneyland #DisneylandResort #PixarFest . . . . . . #DisneylandAP #DisneylandPark #Disneygram #DisneyIG #DisneylandToday #TripMaximizer #MVPTravel #ThingsToDoAtDisney #travel #instatravel #travelgram #travelblogger #DisneyFun #TravelingWithKids #SoloTraveler #MultigenerationalTravel #NorCalMoms #DisneySMMS #WDWToday #DisneySMMoms #DisneyMom #NorCalMomsTravel #TripAdvisor #TripAdvisorAmbassador (at Mickey's Fun Wheel)

Just over this fence is Andy’s Backyard And if you stand back, you can get a glimpse of Sheriff Woody peeking over the fence welcoming to the all new Toy Story Land opening on June 30. I can’t wait to ride Slinky Dog Dash, a roller coaster Andy has assembled from his Mega Coaster Play Kit, take a spin on Alien Swirling Saucers, a galactic play set that Andy won at Pizza Planet, or walk through a new carnival game box or to eat at Woody’s Lunch Box featuring all my favorite comfort food and old-fashioned soda floats. #ImTooExcitedToSleep!
