Why I Launched Laugh and Gear: Theme Park Travel Tips for Families
Building Magic & Momentum: Why I Launched Laugh and Gear with My Family
If you’ve followed my journey for a while, you know I spend a lot of time helping small business owners grow online. From SEO audits to high-performing WordPress builds, my work with Limonade Media has helped dozens of entrepreneurs turn their websites into revenue engines.
But there’s another side of my life that’s always running in parallel: traveling, exploring theme parks, and answering endless gear questions from friends and followers.
When I’m not knee-deep in code or strategy, I’m likely planning a Disney trip with my partner and our daughter — camera in hand, gear perfectly packed, and ears probably featuring my favorite mischief-makers, Chip and Dale.
After years of park hopping, helping others gear up, and testing what works (and what totally doesn't)... I realized it was time to build something for us — a project where I could merge fun, strategy, and storytelling into one destination.
Welcome to Laugh and Gear
Laugh and Gear is a playful and practical guide for fellow theme park lovers who want to enjoy every trip without the stress. Whether you're packing for your first visit or trying to survive with kids in tow, I built this to be your:
- Theme Park Tip Hub
- Packing Guide & Gear Review Stop
- Smart Travel Resource
- Experiment in Content, SEO, and Affiliate Strategy
It's where I get to blend what I love — photography, gear, family travel — with what I do best: digital strategy, content creation, and growth marketing. And this time, I’m the client. No delays. No convincing anyone of “why this matters.” Just fast execution, fun creative freedom, and full ownership.
Built for Travelers, Powered by Strategy
This isn’t just a fun side project. Laugh and Gear is a live case study — an engine to apply 20+ years of experience in:
- SEO and technical site optimization
- Strategic content publishing
- Affiliate monetization
- Growth hacking and analytics
- Conversion-focused UX
And yes — we’re using it to help families and fans book better vacations, come prepared, and feel confident about what to pack, wear, or carry into the parks.
A Family-Fueled Project
One of the best parts? I’m building Laugh and Gear with my partner and daughter in mind. We’re in this together — from testing gear on-the-go to creating content around what actually works for parents, creatives, and fellow nerds who just want to enjoy the parks more.
We’ve lived the meltdowns. We’ve made the packing mistakes. We’ve sprinted through Orlando with a backpack that didn’t hold up. Now we’re turning that into helpful, human content that saves you the same trouble.
Here’s Where to Start

Why Chip and Dale Would Approve
Much like my favorite duo, this project is rooted in curiosity, fun, and a little resourcefulness.
Whether you’re channeling the quiet efficiency of Wall-E, the boldness of Donald Duck, or the chaos-loving charm of Chip and Dale — Laugh and Gear was built to make your theme park adventures a little easier, and a lot more fun.
