Lisabeth Posthuma is a first-generation Disneyphile who hopes to inspire a legacy of fanatics in her family. Though she's comparatively a newbie to the Disney scene, she's no rookie to the written word. Posthuma is also a published novelist and a essay blogger. She's a proud mother of two young Jedi/princesses (depending on the day) and the wife to a man that rivals Prince Charming. When she's not planning Disney trips for herself and everyone else she knows, she's an avid photographer, crafter, and thrower of pretty sweet Disney birthday (and un-birthday) parties. If her fairy godmother ever shows up, she's hoping for a pumpkin coach to whisk her away from Metro Detroit and take her to The Magic Kingdom where she would love to be Belle for the day (because c'mon... that yellow dress is amazing) and feast on Dole Whips and Mickey pretzels.
