Change mine to sugar free and that's what I have

I'm sure those around you are thankful for the Soy!

I'm so glad you all are ok! I've never lived near a torndo zone, so I have no idea what they're like. sounds pretty scary!

My 2 oldest to science olympiad too! My oldest went to reagionals last saturday.

That's just as good in my eyes! We finally got a Starbucks in our town about a year ago, and I am still doing the happy dance. My absolute favorites are Pumpkin Spice Lattes in the fall and Peppermint Mochas in the winter. A Cinnamon Dolce Lattes is my "other seasons" choice.

Yeah, I am not liking living in a tornado zone anymore. I am wondering where the safest place weather-wise it would be to move.

Congrats on your two going to Science Olympiad, too! Sadly, we don't have it at the middle school level. I wish we did . We still have state to look forward to this year though.

My husband has a good bit of Irish blood in him -- and an Irish last name to boot. Maybe I will make a button to wear for next year.

An integral part of every trip that I take is the creation of the Trip Binder. Inside this three-ring binder resides all of the most important information necessary to a wonderful trip. Without it, I have no doubt, my family and I would wander around lost and wasting time.

The first binder for our June trip is pictured below. In my favorite color, pink, she was a faithful holder of all WDW documents. Alas, her petite one-inch size was no match for the amount of information I have amassed for this summer's adventure. She was forced to give up her role. Do not cry for her too much though, she has already found work as the trip binder for our October trip. You will see her again on the next PTR (several months from now).

Pink Binder's place was usurped by the 1 1/2 inch white three-ring binder this weekend. It boasts a clear front slipcover perfect for displaying a Disney-themed cover page (Natalie's Bag of Tricks on the DISigns board).

Note the cool spine label for easy spotting on the Disney guidebook bookshelf. (MouseEarsforLife's design ).

Here's a quick peek at the inside of the Trip Binder.

Haha Glad to know trip planning and trip binderness is going so wonderful! Keep us posted

Thanks! Yeah, I was sad to give up the hot pink one, too, but I think she will have fun being a part of the Food and Wine/MNSSHP/Anniversary Trip Extraordinaire!

Oh, don't you worry -- I'm not done with the Saga of the Trip Binders .

I'm officially Croc obsessed. I wear my Primas during the day, and switch it up between Capris/Mary Janes/Beach while I stay at home!

That's too funny! I got another email for free shipping yesterday that is good through April 5th. I think that is my sign to order the Celery Capris!

Hmm. Charleston Princess- your Croc destiny is emailing

I am laughing....because I loved the binder, but promised myself no crazy planning.... we took a little photo album with a mock plan for each day...(TGM stuff) which I did like and use... might need to start working on that!

 

[carissanboys]

Very nice Binders I especially like the plastic holder thingy inside. Very cool.

Thanks! Last summer I wasn't near as crazy with the binder -- this year though I have had a year to amass things. Heaven only knows if any of it will be useful or not. I think it is the teacher in me wanting to make everything pretty and organized .

Very nice Binders I especially like the plastic holder thingy inside. Very cool.

Thanks! I am not even sure why I bought the plastic holder thingy but I certainly have had no problem filling it.

Love the Star Wars reference!

Cool binders! I went back and forth on whether I wanted to use a binder...I did so I could decorate it but I was afraid of putting holes in my articles...some of them print close to the margin. So right now they are in a folder...do you know that I couldn't find one Disney folder in my trips to Staples and Target???

For my wedding binder...I used those clear plastic page protectors that come with the holes to protect my documents...however they don't hold very much and I would need A LOT more of them for a Disney binder. I find that funny now that I have more information for Disney than I did for my wedding!

Thanks! I can't believe there aren't Disney folders out there! That's a shame!

Sadly, I have bought the clear plastic page protectors for my trip binder -- I think I have bought a lot since I started back in August. My reasoning is that I can reuse them on subsequent trips and some stuff (like directions for driving) I will use over several trips.

Sometimes I think planning a Disney trip is a more daunting undertaking than planning a wedding -- of course, my wedding was one of those small and intimate ones so the planning wasn't like my SIL's.
