Get to know me

Welcome to my blog, Once Upon my Castle. I am so excited to share info, thoughts, recipes and ideas with you. My home is my castle. Like a Sandcastle by the sea, it may get knocked down but  it can always be rebuilt into something new again. One of my favorite Quote from Walt Disney is: ” If you can dream it, you can do it”

ABOUT ME:

 My name is Daniella I am in Columbus, OH.  I am married to my husband Phil and have an 8 yr old son Evan. We are a Disney family. We were married 12 years ago at Walt Disney World and are Disney Vacation Club members! Time does fly by!

I am a beach girl. Although we love it here in Columbus  and have some great friends and  we do miss our family, friends and pizza  ( more about the pizza later) on the East coast. I grew up in a little beach town called Cape May, NJ and I so do miss my ocean. We visit often but not enough.

I work as a full time accounting position and also own several online businesses . So I wear a lot of hats around my castle.

I love to cook, travel , thrift and flip , Shop,  party planning, talk Disney and love gardening when I have time. The main reason I started this blog a few years ago was for my son’s Birthday parties. I have come to find that I love sharing my experiences,my favorite products, places, ideas and info about food and travel with others so this blog was born. I hope you find something interesting and helpful here. Enjoy!
