A few weeks ago, I made the announcement that the shirts I design and sell in my Etsy shop would be changing from vinyl + heat press to print on demand. The announcement seemed kind of sudden, but I'm here to explain my thought process, the financial side, and ultimately show why I decided to…

It's no secret that Walt Disney World isn't exactly known as a budget-friendly vacation destination. In fact, I've heard tale of some families dropping thousands and thousands of dollars for a Disney trip!
