Walt Disney World...with a Baby

The title of this post is enough to scare any sane person but I'm here to tell you that YOU CAN GO TO DISNEY WITH A BABY and have a damn good time! My family is WDW spoiled. They have never had to plan an itinerary, book a dining reservation, look at a park map, or question where the closest ice cream cart is and it's 100% my fault and I wouldn't have it any other way. Working at The Most Magical Place on Earth (not the Happiest...that's DisneyLAND people!) for five years made me a professional Disney tourist. I mean how cool is it that I get to tell Brynn that her bae, Mickey Mouse, was my boss?! So let me share with you some of my tips for conquering Walt Disney World with a baby. The...

Friday Favs

Hi everyone! I am SO ready for the weekend! This work week has been insanely busy and I desperately need some time to recharge! In the meantime here is what I have been obsessing about lately...

I started this blog to document wedding planning and it's evolved into a lifestyle blog now. I named it Former Kennedy from the start to pay homage to my maiden name and because I didn't want to have to change the name of my blog several times. I felt as though Former Kennedy stuck and I haven't grown tired of it yet. I'm a proud alum of West Virginia University and...

Favorite Home Decor Hacks

During my maternity leave I watched every episode of Fixer Upper and, like every Chip and Jo obsessed American, I decided I needed to redesign our entire house. Like most house projects these are coming along slowly but surely and I feel like I will never finish but that's kind of the fun part. I'm linking up for WHW with Jenn and sharing three of my favorite design hack inspirations. The first is from my dear friend Lauren, the creative force behind Ren Ott Events. Not only is Lauren an amazing event planner but she's incredible at design and staging. She shared this Restoration Hardware: Looks for Less on her blog and I was obsessed! Make sure to check out the post...
