Your house is so cute! We bought our first house last June and it is amazing! We were in our apt from Dec 04 - June 08, so it was nice to be on our own. Before that, we lived in my parents basement! I feel very lucky that the previous owners liked to garden and had gardens full of perennials! Everything came back so lovely and beautiful. I'm not into gardening, so I'm happy I didn't have to do much. I pulled weeds and put out new mulch last week and that's it!
That binder is amazing! I don't have anything like that. I keep a lot in my PassPorter until it's time to go. Then, I transfer our ADR's, park hours, etc into my trip journal (I have a Vera Bradley notebook for this trip! It's fits perfectly into my hipster!). The PassPorter pockets are a bit too tall for my hipster. I have a huge packing list saved in Microsoft Word that I just updated from January. I print it out before I pack and then cross things off after they're packed. I also have a list of things to do before we leave: put a hold on the mail, set lamp timers, make sure someone can come feed the cats, set the Tivo!!!
Thanks! That's so great that you're in your own house now! I'm sure you were beyond ready! I've never been a gardener...I always made fun of my mom for loving it. But as soon as we moved into this house, all I wanted to do was plant flowers to make it look pretty.
I guess I can't make fun of her anymore!
Ooh--I need to look into getting a Vera notebook. I'm waiting for the new purses to go on clearance and then I'll buy a regular hipster. That way I can switch between it and my mini. Would you mind PMing me your packing list? I feel like I'm surely going to forget something! Or at least the highlights...? Ooh--I didn't even think about all the stuff we'll need to take care of here!
Your house is so cute! I like all the Disney touches. One of DBf's friends has hidden Mickey's in his house! How awesome is that?
Nice work on the binder! It's really coming along...now if only those park hours would be released!
Thanks! I'm sure there'll be more Disney touches after this trip!
Oh wow--a hidden Mickey in the house?! Way cute. Thanks! I know--I can't wait for them to be released!!! I kept checking yesterday. I hope it's at least this week!
I have been out of town for over a week and now I am back!
I love your house! It almost makes me wish I had a "real" yard. But I am way too lazy and enjoy the fact that someone else mows my grass! Isn't that horrible! (I live in a condo complex.)
Anyway...
I LOVE your binder!!!!! I am so jealous! I really need to do something like that. I especially need a snack and packing list!
I end up writing everything in my pre-trippie and checking the DIS as I am out and about to remind myself of stuff.
You are doing a great job on planning and I love your ADR's! Now I need to get mine all finalized so I can call this week! I think we will have several that are the same.
Thanks! Haha--it would be nice to have someone else mow. Oh, wait. I can't say that b/c I don't mow...My hubby does.
I'm sure if I did, I'd feel differently! Thanks--It was fun to start working on it. I made more pages yesterday, and have some more in mind for today. I'm such a nerd. Checking your PTR is smart! I couldn't do that b/c I really only get on here at work.
I mean, at home on Saturdays.
Thanks! Good luck finalizing yours!! I can't wait for Disney Dining!
Your house is too cute! DH and I had the same Mickey & Minnie wedding cake topper at our wedding. It's out on our shelf with some Mickey & Minnie wedding bobble heads whose noses are magnets so they kiss! I love them! And that closet is ridiculous! I could fit so much stuff in there!
The binder looks awesome. Right now I'm just working with an expandable file folder to organize all of the information I have printed. It's nowhere near as pretty as yours! But I actually sat down today and made a list of things I want to try and print at work Wednesday (when my boss isn't there to see me doing non-nursing work & using the hospital's paper and ink for my vacation plans), and it's a LONG list. So it should really bulk up my folder.
Thanks! Awesome! I didn't even know it was a cake topper
My parents got it for us when they went to DLR. How cute--I would love to see your kissing bobble heads! I know--I just love the closet!
Thank you! I'm happy with it. I print at work ALL the time! But I can kinda get away with it since we're making things and printing them all the time.
Yay for bulking up that folder!!
Oh my gosh, your new house is so cute!! I love it. And it looks so cozy and nicely decorated already. Congratulations!
Your Disney binder looks awesome, too! Where did you get the Disney font from? Everything looks so nicely organized... wow! I am so impressed.
Thanks! I love having our own space! It's a perfect size for us. Thanks!! I got them from
http://www.disneyexperience.com/customize/fonts.php They have tons of Disney Fonts on there! I've used them on different things. It just makes it feel more official
I'm a crazy organizer/nerd! I love planning/organizing. I get it from my mom!
I am SO glad you were able to get your pictures back. And your new house is super cute!!
I also love your Disney binder!!
Thanks! I am so glad too. I was so upset they were gone! Thanks--we love it. It was a LOT of fun to make the binder! I've added more pages. I'll post pictures sometime this week!
Your new house is so cute! It must be nice to live on your own.....
The binder looks like fun to put together!! I think I will have to refrain from making one though I made an excel spread sheet with a tentative itinarary and my family made fun of me and thinks I waste my money on the dis planning books
Thanks! It is so good to not have to worry about bad neighbors. We have great ones all around us, and even if we didn't, it wouldn't be as bad as facing them (like our apt was)! It's so good to live on our own! It was so much fun to put together. My family laughs at me (except my mom--she's proud!
) but I don't care. I'm doing this for me--not them!
I did everything in Excel before I put it in InDesign. Excel is the best for getting everything organized!
OK, my wedding is over and I'm back to real life! Sorry you had a tough week last week. Glad you got your pics back.
I love your little garden, so cute!! And that is a great window in your living room.
Very nice binder too! All the menus and everything, nice work!
CONGRATS!!
I hope the wedding was everything you've dreamed it would be! I'm so glad the pics are back too!
I didn't know I'd love having flowers this much. I still need to finish--my mom has 2 rose bushes she's giving me, and I need to add the mulch...sometime this week. Thanks! I had fun making it
Oh wow, I love your house!
That binder is amazing!
I'm sorry I don't have more to say, I'm super tired from work!
Thanks! It fits us perfectly. I had so much fun making it. I've added park specific pages. I'll post pictures sometime this week. I know what you mean--by the time I get home from work, I just want to crash!!

I love them! And that closet is ridiculous! I could fit so much stuff in there! 
I love it. And it looks so cozy and nicely decorated already. Congratulations!
And your new house is super cute!!
