Welcome to The Tired Princess Club: Where Magic Meets Mom Lifeđź‘‘
Hey there, tired princess ✨
I’m so happy you found your way here! Welcome to The Tired Princess Club👑, a space I created for moms (and anyone who loves a little pixie dust) who are juggling the beautiful chaos of family life while still chasing their love for Disney, travel, and everyday adventures.
Like you, I adore magical vacations—but I also know the reality. There are stroller meltdowns in Fantasyland, spilled popcorn on the Hogwarts Express, and more “I need a snack NOW” moments than I can count. And through it all? Moms are the ones making the magic happen. 💖
Why I started this blog
I’m Jackie—mom of two little ones (a 3-year-old daughter and a 1-year-old son), wife, travel lover, Disney dreamer, and honestly? A pretty tired princess most days.
I’ve spent years planning and taking magical trips, both for my family and through my travel agency, Wand & Compass Travel Co. Along the way, I realized something important:
✨ Moms deserve a space that’s equal parts honest and magical.
A space where we can talk about the sparkle of fireworks over Cinderella’s Castle and the exhaustion of walking 20,000 steps in a day. Where we can swap Disney tips, laugh at our Universal ride fails, and remind each other that it’s okay to rest—even on vacation.
What you’ll find here
On this blog, you’ll find:
🌟 Disney & Travel tips that actually work for moms traveling with kids.
🚂 The Tired Princess Takes Universal series—my family’s adventures and survival hacks.
🍦 Honest reviews of Disney and Universal snacks (because yes, food is fuel and joy).
🧠Planning guides that help you slow down and enjoy the magic without burning out.
💕 Personal stories: my weight loss journey (96 lbs down!), ADHD + mom life hacks, and little wins that remind us we’re doing okay.
This isn’t about perfect Instagram vacations—it’s about real life, with a touch of pixie dust.
Why “Tired Princess”?
Because I believe both things can be true.
I can be exhausted and still magical.
I can be a hot mess and still make memories worth keeping.
I can need coffee to survive rope drop and cry happy tears during fireworks.
Being a tired princess doesn’t mean I’m not enough—it means I’m doing it all, with love and with a little sparkle.
You belong here, too đź’–
If you’ve ever felt like…
You love Disney but dread the packing, planning, and meltdowns.
You want real, mom-tested hacks instead of Pinterest-perfect pressure.
You crave connection with other moms who get it.
…then friend, welcome to the club. 👑✨
Pull up a chair, grab a churro (or a coffee), and let’s make this space feel like home.
I’m so glad you’re here, and I can’t wait to share this adventure with you. Whether you’re here for practical tips, funny stories, or just to feel a little less alone, I hope you’ll find a touch of magic in every post. 💫
Here’s to making the mess, the magic, and the memories—together.
