It’s time to get baking cooking, making candy, and decking halls. Fa la la la la, la la la la.

I’m sure that you are just as stuffed as we are from Thanksgiving, but I’m still ready to cook up a storm. I’m not running out looking for the best deals today. I don’t do all that Black Friday Hoopla. I’m just going to get cozy with some cookbooks and plan out all that baking I am going to be doing this Holiday Season.

Happy 5th Birthday Autumn

November 18, 2018

Happy Birthday to Our Amazing Birthday Girl!

I can’t believe that you are already 5 years old! Holy Smokes!

It is cliche to say but it really does seem like just yesterday that you came into our lives. But really, it has all been a whirlwind of fun, craziness, singing, reading, playing, and snuggles. The days are long, but the years are short- so true!

You are so smart. It just amazes me, when you do something for the first time, especially with ease. Like you learned how to ride a 2-wheeler without training wheels in under 30 minutes. You aced it! You talk endlessly so your vocab is fantastic. (yay us for no baby talk!) When we bake you count and add things well. Mixing colors together is your new interest so we talk about that a lot and how to mix things with Red, Blue, and Yellow to create other colors.

Getting In the Holiday Spirit At Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party

November 13, 2018

An evening at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party will put you in the holiday spirit with beautiful decor, fun shows, a snowy parade, & plenty of sweets!

Thank you to Disney for inviting me to spend a wonderful night at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.

With just 46 days until Christmas, we headed off to Disney World to get in the holiday spirit at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. It was a night full gobbling up sweets, having fun on rides, enjoying some ‘snow’, and singing along to Christmas music. So, so fun!

While I am a ‘one holiday at a time!’ kind of person who doesn’t decorate for Christmas until Thanksgiving is over, I love going to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, even in November. I can break my personal rule for some fun with Mickey, Minnie, and their pals as they celebrate the holidays.

We recently went on an amazing, fun trip to Disney World for a 2 Night, 3 Day stay.

My family was invited to experience all the magical things that Disney has to offer, including their new Toy Story Land and Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. We had a wonderful time!

Doing the Monster Mash with Vampirina! – Fun at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party

October 15, 2018

We always have so much fun at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party! This time, the best part was doing the Monster Mash with Vampirina! My Little Vampirina LOVED IT!!!

During our Recent Trip to Disney World for an incredible Florida Blogger Experience, we had a wonderful night at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party! We started with a fun, group dinner at the Grand Floridan, before we took the (super crowded) monorail over to the Magic Kingdom for a fun, spooky night at the party.

I love visiting Disney during the holidays. They do such a wonderful time decorating. Main Street USA looks so fun and festive for the season (August – Halloween). So many Disney themed pumpkins, scarecrows, and fall decor. Florida may be hot, but it puts me in a Fall State of Mind.
