SwaggerTag Review and Giveaway
I received two free SwaggerTag luggage tags to review and share my experience. I was impressed with SwaggerTags! The style, sturdiness, security, and versatility for use is all good!

Cinderella Storybook Deluxe

By Stephanie Rouse Okay, so I will admit it: when it comes to Disney, I am a complete “on-property” snob. We pass all of the hotel chains on our way to “the World,” but rarely do we stay at one of these places. On our latest trip to Kissimmee, though, I wanted to experience a…
