If you and your kiddos haven't had a chance to get to know Greg Heffley—the imaginative and quick-witted middle-schooler of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series—you've got some reading to do! The latest addition to the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books, BIG SHOT, is about to drop this fall and, whether you're a newbie or a superfan, it's time to get caught up on the well-loved collection from #1 international bestselling author Jeff Kinney.

Founded by Magic Kingdom-loving mom and certified "Disney Master" Sandy Nussbaum-Giercyk, EZ Dis by Instant Impressions Travel Services has game-changed the Disney vacation planning process with their personal concierge-style services. Staffed with specialized consultants who know all the ins and outs of the parks and properties, the Disney authorized agency can help you customize and book your entire vacation at zero cost to you.

Why plan your trip with a Disney travel specialist, you ask? As Sandy says, planning a Disney vacation is like no other—and she would know! Not only has she been frequenting the park since she was a kid, but she now personally visits Walt Disney World® 7 to 10 times a year to keep her team and clients up to speed on the latest and greatest offerings. Known to attend multiple performances of every new show just to see it from all angles and to rotate through hotels on a 3-year cycle to review everything from the sheets to the pool, her one-of-a-kind informational vlogs, weekly podcasts, and hands-on planning services are worth their weight in Treasure Island gold (plus, she's undoubtedly earned that honorary Disney master's degree).

New York may have a reputation for being a city of renters, but the reality is that plenty of families are buying homes—and with mortgage rates low, purchasing a home can actually be more affordable than it seems. Of course, buying here can feel especially intimidating. Beyond the sticker shock and the condo versus coop versus house confusion, there things like loans and down payments to navigate. Unravelling all of it can really stand in the way of families believing that buying is on the table.

When we had questions about the home buying process, we connected with Brian Scott Cohen, a Senior Loan Officer at GR Affinity—and proud New York City dad—who's helped thousands of families become homeowners over the 17 years he's been in the mortgage industry. Brian helped us untangle our most pressing inquiries about buying a home in New York.
