Jedi Training: Trials of the Temple in Disney's Hollywood Studios

The Force is strong with this wildly-popular Star Wars attraction, located in Disney's Hollywood Studios. Now, your little Jedi-in-training can use the Force to defend the galaxy against the Seventh Sister from Star Wars Rebels and the dark lord himself, Darth Vader. Before the recruits can wield a lightsaber, however, the Jedi will train them on how to use the Force correctly, and get them ready for battle. Or, as ready as they can be before the Temple opens to reveal who they must defeat.

[My middle son, Jonah, got in on the action, too!]

See how McKinley, and other younglings, defeated the Seventh Sister and Darth Vader in our most recent trip to Disney's Hollywood Studios. 

After you've been a part of the magic that is Jedi Training {or while you wait}, be sure to check out Star Tours, Star Wars Launch Bay, Star Wars: Path of the Jedi, Star Wars: A Galaxy Far, Far Away, and Tatooine Traders. At the end of your day, don't miss Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular - a fireworks show that is out of this world! 

Want to meet a few Star Wars characters in person? Check your guide map for their locations. You could meet Kylo Ren, Chewbacca, and others.

Be sure to check the Times Guide at Disney’s Hollywood Studios for the schedule and showtimes. Since this is an outdoor show, it is subject to cancellation due to inclement weather. Showtimes are subject to change.

On Forgiveness

How many times have you been wronged? Your son lied to you. Your best friend went to lunch without you...and with another friend of hers. Your significant other cheated on you. Someone stole something from you. And you're still holding a grudge. You've been holding onto this for months. YEARS. What would it do to you to forgive that person?? What might it do to your heart? Do you think you could??

Watch this video...and then tell me what you're holding onto that you could forgive someone for. I bet you'll find that it's pretty forgivable, after all.

As a LEO [Law Enforcement Officer] wife, I am NOT looking to open a conversation about crooked cops. This post is about forgiveness. Please see it as ONLY that. [Truth be told, there are a LOT of GOOD police officers. Sadly, the media doesn't tell you about them very often.]

How To Draw Judy Hopps From Disney's ZOOTOPIA

Ask me what my favorite movie of 2016 has been so far. Go ahead, ask me. ZOOTOPIA!! Hands down, best movie of 2016!

I took my 8 year old, Jett, with me to see a pre-screening, and it was fabulous! The trailer, honestly, didn't have me too excited for this film. But, I'm glad I went against my instincts to go see it.

Zootopia is laugh out loud hilarious. It'll teach you that no matter how small you may be, BIG things can happen when you believe in yourself. Also, when told you can't do something, try harder. Seriously, you guys, so many life lessons rolled into one film. I LOVE IT!

FUN FACT: Artists were inspired by Mufasa from Disney’s classic film “The Lion King” when creating the look of Mayor Lionheart. I thought he resembled some lion we've seen before. 

Wanna draw that go-getter little bunny who has hopped her way into everyone's heart? Grab a pencil and some paper, and watch this video. Oooohhh, she's just so cute!

If you haven't gone to see Zootopia yet, what are you waiting for?? If you have gone to see it, what did you think? Awesome, right?!?!

I Just Can't Clean This Place {a parody}

For years, I've tried to convince Hubs that I am doing all I can to keep this house clean. Since the release of All About That Bass, a few moms have put together a parody video that showcases my true feelings on the matter of how I just can't clean this place. Maybe this'll convince him I'm not alone? {I love the blogger mention...although, I'm for sure not the blogger they're referring to. LOL}


Tell me your greatest struggle in housework. Mine? Laundry!
