It’s true. I’m back! After a little over a year, THPB has returned with a brand new look and some new tricks up its sleeves. But more on that soon. Right now, I want to say thanks so much for stopping by to read today—which also happens to be my dad’s birthday. Yes, I did […]
Read MoreI’ve said this before and I don’t doubt I will say it again: I never knew how my life would change when I pressed publish on my first Disney post for this blog. I’ve learned so much more about these theme parks and company I love, and more than that, I have met so many […]
Read MoreHi, friends! This is the weekend I would normally be celebrating the fourth anniversary of This Happy Place Blog. I can’t believe it. Four years almost feels like a lifetime ago. It might not also be a total shock that I’m feeling some growing pains when it comes to this blog and how I want […]
Read MoreWell, we took a small break last month from KILL REFURB MARRY just to prep for this one… kind of. I’m not cramming and don’t this the night before. Nope. Not me. Not Estelle.

Read MoreGreetings, pals! Hope you are doing well.

Read MoreKill Refurb Marry Day is always a good day. I like this subject a lot. I crowd-sourced a bit on Twitter before I wrote this and reasons why people love sidekicks seem to range from loving the actor who voiced them to remembering those feel-good characters.Which sidekick would you want for your best friend and which […]
Read MoreThis is the week I am always my most anxious. All my bills seemed to be due around the 10th, and it’s a headache. It really is. But I checked all of that off the list (sigh), settled down for some nighttime TV with James, and one of my credit card companies surprised me with […]
Read MoreWell, we all have to turn thirty sometimes. Right? RIGHT? Ahem. I’m well-rested from an extended trip to Orlando (thanks to “blizzard” Juno)… even a week later. So I say that’s a pretty good trip, huh? I plan on talking about my November and January trips super soon (I’m going to stretch out these recaps […]
Read MoreI fell into Stephen Sondheim fandom when I was a freshman in college. It wasn’t a seamless love. It took some time. Our awesomely challenging theater direct chose to put on COMPANY that fall. I went with my new roommates and my boyfriend at the time, and when it ended, we all looked at each […]
