Episode 007- Raccoons In My Attic. What I Did To Get Rid Of Them!

March 27, 2019 by Laura

This episode is a tale of raccoon woes….the absolute turmoil I experienced! I walk you through my current thoughts of it being almost a year later from when Mama Raccoon and her babies showed up. We’ll visit my past blog posts on the subject. I hope you find some humor in my terrible experience. 🙂 And consider sharing it with your friends…they may need a chuckle too!

If you’ve experienced any type of rodent invasion, PLEASE leave a comment on the facebook page or on this blog post! I’d LOVE to know I’m not alone in my crazy!

Talk to you next week with a YouInterview episode with my youngest sister, Meredith. Sincerely hope you are well and your week is going as smooth as possible! Take care!

If you’d prefer to read the blog posts instead of listening to the episode, check out:

Episode 005- Beginner Advice for Disney World Vacation with Disney Travel Specialist, Junell DuBois

March 8, 2019 by Laura

If a Disney World vacation is in your family’s future, BUT, you don’t even know where to start…..this episode is FOR YOU!

I talk with Junell DuBois from Miss Adventures in Adulting regarding ALL my questions about Disney World. Besides sharing her tips on her blog about adulting with kids, funny mishaps, and fun activities to do with children, she’s also a dedicated Disney Travel Specialist through Kingdom Destinations.

We talk about:
-Advantages/Disadvantages of Staying on/off Disney properties
-Dining options and tips on securing those coveted character dining experiences
-Traveling with food restrictions
-Products to bring ahead of time and what items she likes to buy at the parks
-Attending the Disney parks with children with special needs
-ALSO the fact that going through a travel agent doesn’t cost you anything…Disney already factors that commission into the price of your ticket….WHAT???!!!!……..save yourself the headache & take advantage of that!

As always……I am, from the bottom of my heart, grateful you are here with me! Thanks for listening.
