My hope for our experience together is to curate and prepare you for a trip that feels equal parts thoughtful, approachable, memorable, magical and FUN!
I'm Jamie, mom to two kiddos and our black lab, Teddy, living in Boston, MA. I work full-time at Harvard University and absolutely love being a city mama - we're always on the go and having fun, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Since having kids, my love for Disney took off and has become such an unexpected and joyful part of being a mom. We decided to start taking our kids early on as it was something my husband did with his family growing up - Disney for him has always been extremely nostalgic and has created some of his fondest family memories from childhood. It has also now become something we look forward to every year (Kiawah Island is our other beloved destination, and we go every August once the kids are finished with camp for the summer).
The first time we went to Disney as a family, I knew that it'd be crucial to work with a Planner - I was excited to bring my littles, but was admittedly overwhelmed and unfamiliar with the intricacies that came along with a trip like this. I was committed to making sure we were setting ourselves up for 'success' and winging it seemed like a recipe for disaster - I immersed myself in the learning and planning alongside our planner (at the time), and that first trip together kick-started one of our most cherished annual traditions and place to visit.
My excitement and passion for Disney and travel is one that I hope to pass on to others - it would be my absolute pleasure to plan your next vacation and I cannot wait to connect and 'meet' you!

Travel Planner
They may not know don't any different, but navigating city life with kids has been such a fun experience as a mama. There's so much to do with littles in Boston, and it's been so cool to watch them grow and experience their childhood as born and raised city kids!
I love living and raising my kids in the city
From my coffee order, to workout regimen, to places that I vacation, once I find things I love, I tend to stick to what I know and what works. I love consistency and predictability, but always welcome in a healthy dose of new and spontaneity.
I'm a total creature of routine and habit!
If you know me, you know that from the moment I wake up in the morning, until the moment I turn off the lights to go to sleep, I'm always moving. I love living life on the go and keeping myself busy!
I rarely run out of energy :)
MY KIDS
I can't get enough of my two little ones. They bring so much energy, joy and vibrancy to each and every day. Experiencing the world through their eyes is pure magic!
MORNING COFFEE
I look forward to my morning coffee every night when I go to bed. It's no frills and very simple drip, medium roast coffee with a little half & half, but it's so cozy and always gets me ready to take on the day!
EXERCISE & MOVEMENT
Sports and fitness have always been a huge part of my life and keeping my body in motion is essential for my mental, physical and emotional wellbeing. Whether I'm out walking my black lab, Teddy, taking a pilates class, strolling the World Showcase at Epcot, chasing my kids or bopping around the city, I love being active!
HEATED SEATS
I truly don't know that I'd be able to survive winters in Boston without heated seats in my car and in fact, I tend to use them year-round. Hello heat therapy for sore, tired muscles (see favorites things #3) :) Such a small, but can't-live-without luxury!!!
