my favorite things

Hi, my name is Justine. I am a mom of two from WNY. I love to play local tourist in my hometown. Checking out new coffee shops, bakeries, parks, playgrounds and as many low cost activities as possible. Life is expensive & I try to keep it real. I also love to play tourist outside of my town. I enjoy trying new places & really love returning to favorite spots. Recently started my adventure into travel planning, specializing in Disney vacations. Whatever I decide to share here with definitely be a scrapbook of local favorites/highlights, Disney travel tips and tricks & whateved future travel adventures may come.

As a parent, finding low-cost activities that engage the whole family is essential, especially when balancing everyday expenses. Visiting neighborhood coffee shops and bakeries not only supports small businesses but also offers a chance to discover unique flavors and community vibes that tourists often overlook. Parks and playgrounds are fantastic spots for kids to play and for families to connect with nature without spending a dime. Integrating these outings into your routine can boost well-being and create memorable moments. When it comes to travel, careful planning can turn a dream vacation, like a Disney trip, into an affordable reality. Starting your adventure into travel planning includes researching the best times to visit, understanding park options, and finding insider tips to maximize fun while minimizing costs. Returning to favorite spots offers comfort and nostalgia, making each visit special. Sharing your experiences creates a helpful scrapbook for others seeking similar adventures, blending local charm with broader travel escapes. Following this approach assures that your travels—near or far—are both enjoyable and budget-conscious, helping you make the most out of every journey.
