Announcement!

(Family - because talking about them never gets old)

I've started this post 10 different times and 10 different ways, trying to find the right way to say it, without saying "I have a big announcement", but sometimes you just have to state the obvious so here goes: Guys, I have a big announcement!  And since I'm already pregnant we know that that big announcement has already been covered, so what could it be?  Well I've recently signed on to be a regular contributor at Disney Baby, and I honestly couldn't be more excited, honored and ahem, nervous.  It's an actual job guys ;) 

What is Disney Baby you ask?  Well it's going to be a space where myself, and some other really amazing bloggers will talk about everyday parenting and family moments.  I'll be writing about pretty much the things that us moms all experience and do with our kids and families.  I'll be sharing practical tips as a mother of 2, soon to be 3 (yikes!).  Talking about life with the new baby, sharing craft and activities I do with the kids.  When they told me the list of topics I could cover it seemed like a natural extension of what I'm already doing here.  So of course I said "Dude, sign me up!" (dude added to emphasize my California roots).  

I grew up and live 15 minutes down the road from Disneyland.  Some of my best memories are truly from our once a year trip there as a kid, even if we did always bring our own sack lunch.  I honestly never had an inkling of a dream that someday I'd be writing content for them.  It goes without saying that after a few days of this news sinking in, I'm really excited and honored to be a a part of this. The contributors portion of the site launches June 22nd so expect to hear me mention it and ask you to come over and say hi :)  

As a side note, remember when I wrote this post just a few weeks ago?  Wow, sometimes it's just all about timing right?  Feeling very thankful right now.  Thanks for the continued support and encouragement.
