It's hands down my favorite ride at any park. However, I must admit that the Carousel of Progress comes in at a close second. Speaking of rides, I recently tried out Tron this weekend, and while was it a thrilling experience, I have to confess, it left me with a pounding headache for the next few hours. From now on, I'll happily stick to my smooth and soothing PeopleMover. Now, here's a little secret: my family likes to poke fun at me when I go solo for rope drop, while they dash off to ride Space Mountain. But guess what? I'm not alone in my strategy! Cheers to all the moms out there who just want to feel fantastic for the rest of the day, just like me, and skip Space Mountain for the PM. I cooked these babies down to the perfect consistency and taste! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2595b025a262094f16d53b/79dcfc61-6e72-45e1-a2bc-69d886402658/Dressit+Holiday+Gift+Guide.jpg The Modern Bleisureist Blog - Why Small Businesses Are the Antidote to Overwhelming Online Shopping - Dr. Brad was proudly dishing the tale of Jake's first birthday bash, where his gift game was on point with a batting tee.

While listening, I couldn't help but reflect on the idea of a "top five person," which Michael also mentioned. It's something I've wanted to write about in my blog since September. Like many others, Brian holds a special place in my heart and is most definitely a top five person to numerous people, including me. Speaking about him on the podcast was truly an honor, and it is a beautiful tribute to one of the most caring and impactful individuals I've had the privilege of knowing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2595b025a262094f16d53b/1692070929366-L3JAORL2CC7EP0I1BBTA/Screenshot+2023-08-14+at+11.37.15+PM.png The Modern Bleisureist Blog - Balancing the cart and the heart: online shopping success from targeted ads https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2595b025a262094f16d53b/1692072213220-M0LU1JRHQ4TJ19DACRQM/IMG_7468.jpg The Modern Bleisureist Blog - Balancing the cart and the heart: online shopping success from targeted ads https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2595b025a262094f16d53b/1692070930052-O95YGSI8XOO6JZECGMWW/Screenshot+2023-08-14+at+11.37.26+PM.png The Modern Bleisureist Blog - Balancing the cart and the heart: online shopping success from targeted ads https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2595b025a262094f16d53b/cedad317-76b9-4575-8b76-3f7c40f61c54/Kitsch.JPG The Modern Bleisureist Blog - Balancing the cart and the heart: online shopping success from targeted ads - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2595b025a262094f16d53b/04b0bb98-cdda-455b-9ada-9269b9eaa2b4/Screenshot+2023-08-14+at+11.00.11+PM.png The Modern Bleisureist Blog - Balancing the cart and the heart: online shopping success from targeted ads - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.beccawenning.com/blog/impactpeople monthly 0.5 2023-08-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2595b025a262094f16d53b/6377f457-e3b6-4fa4-bc84-57bfe6f1ab35/Screenshot+2023-07-26+at+10.24.32+PM.png The Modern Bleisureist Blog - The impact that people's words and actions can have on your life - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2595b025a262094f16d53b/16428294-b7ca-4398-bb6a-b72634c8d439/Jake+brian.JPG The Modern Bleisureist Blog - The impact that people's words and actions can have on your life - Just today, I decided to revisit Michael Hirn's podcast that paid tribute to my friend, Coach Brian Harlamert, who tragically passed away last September.

Great to see you!” I don’t have the heart to tell him that the coach was actually me. I had a “Coach Wenning” soccer decal on my old vehicle for many years. Francisco has been there since the first time we stayed, and he has clearly made a lasting impression on my boys. So much so that all three of them took on the name Francisco for their Spanish classes. The fact that I have this self-portrait is even sweeter! Francisco is another reason we keep coming back. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2595b025a262094f16d53b/1f98b3d7-a3c5-44f1-8dd3-0b09f4e7ed8f/Ritz+Carlton.jpg The Modern Bleisureist Blog - A sweet story about brand loyalty in the hospitality industry - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2595b025a262094f16d53b/bd27952e-3e89-4d93-b6ac-460e8c2281d2/reds.jpg The Modern Bleisureist Blog - A sweet story about brand loyalty in the hospitality industry - Make it stand out My oldest son (far right- he’s grown up a bit since the chef hat photo above) and his Ohio Northern Baseball buddies hanging with the Reds. https://www.beccawenning.com/blog/what-i-learned-about-myself-through-gamif monthly 0.5 2023-08-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2595b025a262094f16d53b/e1894b47-d654-42b8-b79a-403b55a1023a/image_one_What+I+learned+about+myself+through+gamification.jpg The Modern Bleisureist Blog - What I learned about myself through gamification - I’ve got a little over a month of these workouts under my belt. I have high hopes at the beginning of every ride and believe me, the effort is there! I am beginning to wonder if the 100% is even attainable? Or is that part of the draw to bring you back over and over again? Next time, I am going to try the same workout but always choose the lane with lesser resistance and see where I land percentage-wise. I’ll report back in another post with my results and how I generally feel about that. Now I am curious. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2595b025a262094f16d53b/35414db0-9be5-47ef-9cb5-a19d24070e4e/Stevie-nicks.jpeg The Modern Bleisureist Blog - What I learned about myself through gamification - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2595b025a262094f16d53b/4466e2d4-9893-4392-a144-568df0d99c72/IMG_5877.JPG The Modern Bleisureist Blog - What I learned about myself through gamification - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.beccawenning.com/blog/category/Parenting monthly 0.5 https://www.beccawenning.com/blog/category/Inspiration monthly 0.5 https://www.beccawenning.com/blog/category/Hospitality monthly 0.5 https://www.beccawenning.com/blog/category/Fashion monthly 0.5 https://www.beccawenning.com/blog/category/Creativity monthly 0.5 https://www.beccawenning.com/blog/category/Travel monthly 0.5 https://www.beccawenning.com/blog/category/Technology monthly 0.5 https://www.beccawenning.com/blog/category/Education monthly 0.5 https://www.beccawenning.com/blog/category/General monthly 0.5 https://www.beccawenning.com/blog/category/Small+Business monthly 0.5 https://www.beccawenning.com/blog/category/Sports monthly 0.5 https://www.beccawenning.com/blog/category/Food monthly 0.5 https://www.beccawenning.com/blog/category/Business monthly 0.5 https://www.beccawenning.com/blog/category/Fitness monthly 0.5 https://www.beccawenning.com/blog/tag/peloton monthly 0.5 https://www.beccawenning.com/blog/tag/Technology monthly 0.5 https://www.beccawenning.com/blog/tag/Dressit monthly 0.5 https://www.beccawenning.com/blog/tag/Small+Business monthly 0.5 https://www.beccawenning.com/about daily 0.75 2024-10-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2595b025a262094f16d53b/94963e0b-f5a1-4012-aeaa-b045329a7871/beccawenning.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2595b025a262094f16d53b/f93a48c5-4483-4c61-91d0-150c3c3597c3/becca-mi.JPG https://www.beccawenning.com/store daily 0.75 2022-12-08
