Do You Have Shoes?
Back in 2015, Boy decided to ask for shoes for his birthday. Why does a child need so many shoes, you might ask? Actually, the shoes that he requested were not for himself but to donate. Boy chose to use his birthday — not to get gifts — to serve others. He worked hard, and,…

While there are people who push the limits and come close to cosplay, bounding is actually more like alluding to the character and not wearing costumes. For example, if you…
Is it time for family photos?
When is the last time that you had family pictures taken? For many, it is not something that is done regularly even though we like to look back at pictures from the past. The memories that pictures bring to our minds can fill us with so many emotions. Who does not like pictures? One day…
Goofy on Space Mountain
Do you have a place that you enjoy visiting? A lot? We do! We like to visit The Mouse a few times a year, and we have some traditions that may be goofy (no offense to Goofy if we embarrass him), yet they are ours. One of our traditions is to try to take a…
