Magical Blogorail ~ Me & My Blog

Welcome to those of you joining me from Focused on the Magic and those of you who have just hopped aboard.  I am the 2ND stop on our Magical Blogorail.

I am very excited to be taking part in my FIRST EVER Magical Blogorail Loop as a part of the Magical Blogorail Orange!  My regular readers already know that I’m pretty passionate about all-things Disney and this is just one more outlet for me to express that passion!

My name is Heidi and I’m a stay-at-home, work-at-home, homeschooling mom to 3 great kids.  In addition to my Disney passion, I’m also pretty passionate about adoption (our two youngest children are adopted from Vietnam) and homeschooling (we’ve been doing it for 10+ years now!) 

I work as the Special Projects Manager for The Old Schoolhouse® Magazine.  One of my biggest “special projects” is heading up a large product review team that specializes in homeschool-related products and curriculum.  It’s through my job that I first started doing reviews, and it has since spiraled into so much more than just books and homeschooling!  As a matter of fact, of special interest to you Disney fans out there, on Thursdays, I always share a review of a Disney-related book or product (you can see these reviews by clicking on the link above for Disney Reviews).

Reviews & Reflections is actually my 3rd blog.  I first started blogging as an outlet, as we awaited the trip to Vietnam to bring home our 3rd child in 2006.  Once that adoption was complete, I decided to close that blog – but, alas, it seems I had fallen in love with blogging and decided to reopen a new blog in early 2007.  Last January, I switched blogging platforms, and Reviews & Reflections was born. 

I don’t even recall how I came across the Magical Blogorail, but I remember thinking “what a clever idea! I wonder if I could be a part of it?!”  I host a weekly Disney-themed meme here on my blog – called Destination Disney (which you can see and read more about by clicking on the links at the top of my blog) – each week I share a new topic and other bloggers join in by posting about the topic on their blogs and coming back here and linking up.  But, as I’m sure you’ll understand, when you’re passionate about something – like I am about Disney – you can never quite get enough!  So, becoming a member of the Magical Blogorail is just one more outlet for me!

I hope that you find something that you like here and will decide to become a follower of my blog!  If you do, please leave a comment with a link to your blog so I can come visit you as well.  Disney Lovers Unite!
