~Snowbird Chat 2~

Kim..that bag looks like a good size~ I have to be careful with the hipsters because they end up so full and pull on my neck causing headaches! But that one looks like a great size!!! I love that English Rose pattern too! Is that the print you are wanting? I usually do the small back pack I have had forever, but maybe this is what I need next time!!! Keep marking things off that list girl! It'll be here before you know it!
 
I forgot how fun planning a Disney trip can be! I feel so lost this time though. We've never gone in the summer and I just figured out we're going to be there for the last Star Wars weekend. I've got lots of research to do!

Shhhhh don't tell DH I'm picking out a new bag for our trip! :stir: Since it will be so hot for this trip we have decided we are going to ditch the bulky backpack and try to go lightweight as possible. I haven't decided which pattern yet. I took my mini hipster last trip but it was kind of too tiny and I have a regular hipster that I carry every day. I'm afraid I'll load it up and it will be too heavy. I think the little hipster will be perfect to fit the bare necessities (hand sanitizer, money, small camera, small bottle of sunblock, etc.) and nothing more and won't be too heavy.

This will also be our first trip without a stroller!!!!! I'm prepared to rent one if it's too hot and we absolutely need it for Em but we are hoping to not rent one.

Checking more off my list each day- I just ordered some trading pins through eBay!

I have no idea what I'm going to do bag-wise. I love my hipster, but it's definitely easy to overload it.:sad2: It can also be frustrating when things get pushed to the bottom. That Little Hipster definitely looks promising! I carried a back pack pretty much every day while I was in Korea, because it was the easiest thing, but I like cute things for Disney. I'm going to be at my Mom's in a couple of weeks for her spring break, so I expect we'll do plenty of shopping. I still have some Christmas money to spend. My wardrobe is really lacking right now though, so I probably should focus my "extra" money on that.
 
I definitely need a new bag for the parks too. I've been using the same one since 2008 and it is worn!! :faint: I looked at the VB hipsters and they are the right size for me, I just can't find a pattern that I really care for. :confused3
 
Did y'all see that VB is doing a Mickey & Minnie print to be released in the fall? I just saw it on Meghans FB page,...they are precious!!!

I did! They are going to put a serious dent in my bank account! Finally, two of my great obsessions in one item. :)
 
Hi guys!

We had a snow day today! School was actually canceled for the first time in many years! I was supposed to work, but had scheduled some appts. Me in the a.m. (which I canceled) and Paige in the p.m. (which her dr. canceled!).
Since I have a cruddy cold and am sneezing every 5 minutes, I stayed home with the girls and took a sick day, even though I was working on some stuff.

We're leaving on Saturday evening after Paige's dance competition. I've got tons of stuff to do and haven't done any of it yet!
Haven't packed at all! (only have a list in my mind)!

Love the new VB/Disney combo! It's about time - they should have known how many Disney-goers use VB bags! They are all over the parks!
I still love my hipster I got in August. But I agree - things do get lost in the bottom sometimes.

Gotta get to bed early tonight - hope the Benadryl I took kicks in soon!
 
I have to admit, I've never looked at VB items until now! They've definitely caught my eye.

Nothing much to report here. Still job hunting, but one job has definitely sparked my interest and is the one I'd really like. I would be nannying for a newborn and a 4 year old. *Crosses fingers!*

Hope everyone is well!
 
Sheree~girl I hope you get better quickly! You have lots to do!! And yes, Disney can't be blind, VB is all over the parks! They know a $ maker when they see it...this is going to grow beyond the 2 patterns you can bet!
Laura., congrats on the possible new family!! 4 and newborn are great! thats about how far apart my 2nd and 3rd one are it is perfect! The 4 yo can be such a little helper!!
 
I went shopping last night! :goodvibes I went to the Vera Bradley store to see the little hipster in person and see if it would work size-wise for me. I ended up buying it in the Portobello Road pattern. I came home and emptied out my regular hipster to switch things over and I had so much junk in there! No wonder it weighed a ton! I really like the size of the little hipster and the fact that the wallet is built in in the front zippered compartment. I like not having to carry a separate wallet. It's the perfect size and it will keep me from carrying unnecessary stuff- at home and at Disney!

Hope you're feeling better soon and wishing Paige lots of luck at her dance competition!

Crossing fingers for you!
 
Kim...I saw the mini Hipster this week and it is really cute!!!! It is amazing how much junk gets in a bag~~ I think this time I could go smaller...I plan to have my camera around my neck on the strap.Gracie likes having her own little crossbody to wear and I don't really need to carry that much junk around the parks anymore!
Sheree~hope you are feeling better today! Give Paige a best wishes hug from us for dance tonight! i can assume you are packed and ready,..right?:scared:
 
Sheree - I hope you're feeling better now!

disney mommy 3 - Thank you! This is an ideal job for me, and it would mean a great deal to me if I got it.

Kim - Thank you!
 
Boy, this winter doesn't give up! It started snowing here on Thursday, continued into Friday - we got 2 FEET of snow! We actually got more this time than from the megablizzard in February.

At least the sun's out today, and it's beautiful. But enough already!
 
Hey everyone! The St. Patrick's Day season starts for us today...2 shows tonight, 1 on Tuesday,1 on Wednesday, a bunch on Friday (I take Maddie out of school) an then a few next Saturday. Then we top it all off with the big parade on the 17th. Fingers crossed for a day like today. It's 50 degrees and very sunny! Spring is coming!
 
Hi Snowbirds. If you could take a moment to keep a dear friend's nephew in your thoughts and prayers today I would greatly appreciate it. His name is Josh and he's 18. He has a heart condition and the only chance for him is a heart transplant. He's been on the list for months now and finally a donor heart came through today. He's in surgery right now and it isn't going well :(

Will most definitely be thinking of Josh! That's horrible :(

Thanks so much for the thoughts and prayers for Josh. He's slowly progressing. It will definitely be a long road with some bumps but for now he is doing as well as to be expected. I couldn't imagine being 18 and facing a heart transplant!

Any word on the nannying gig?

Yuck! I'm done with winter! Hope you've shoveled out by now!
