About Us

My photo
The title for our blog came from the saying "thinking outside the box", which means to think differently, unconventionally or from a new perspective. "Enjoy your choices and enjoy what you do. Never let a day go by without being thankful for the fact that you get to be here in the first place." Hopefully this blog will help family and friends to stay a little closer to us even though were thousands of miles apart; as well as to share in our trials, daily life adventures and traveling experiences.

"Mimmie" Mouse

Ella is love with Minnie Mouse and Goofy. She carries around all of her little Mickey Mouse Clubhouse characters, but "Mimmie" and Goofy are by far her favorites. I found a small backpack while out one day and thought it was perfect. Now when we go out, she can carry her snack, drink and a few toys all by herself.

After bringing it home from the store she carried it around the house all day. When it was time for our afternoon walk with the dogs she insisted on wearing it on our walk (with all the Disney characters inside of course).



 I couldn't help but have visions of her going to kindergarten with that little backpack on. She looks so grown up. Where did our baby girl go?? I will definitely be cherishing every single second I have with her. Even though Kindergarten is about 4 years away........it will be here before I know it. (sniff, sniff) Maybe buying the backpack now was a good way to practice for her heading off to Kindergarten.

On our way to our mommy and me group today she also had her backpack all ready to go!
