Before we went to Florida, I must have done about 972 Google searches on how to do Disney with a toddler. Here's the most frustrating thing about it: You just need to prepare yourself for any situation, and you'll be fine. I'm really happy with how our trip went, so I hope my advice might help another mama getting ready for a similar trip. We started the trip with somewhat of a mantra: Go with the flow. That would definitely be my main piece of advice for Disney World with a toddler, but I …

Day Trip to Legoland Florida
LEGOLAND was a really fun part of our Florida trip. None of us had been before, and it was the perfect activity for the slightly chilly (55 degrees) day.

Weekend in Fort Lauderdale
If you follow along on Snapchat (alyssaloring) or Instagram, you know we were away for some fun in the sun for a few days this past weekend. When I was little I thought that Florida = Disney, but obviously there's so much more to the state! We've taken a couple of trips south this winter to get away from the cold (and also to make up for the fact that we didn't go anywhere last winter, during one of the worst winters Boston has ever seen). This latest trip was to Fort Lauderdale. Where to …
