Thank you to Disney for inviting me to spend a wonderful night at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party.

My friend Nichole and I brought our daughters to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party on Friday night. And we had a blast!!!!

Last year, I went to MNSSHP with Price, Autumn, and Hunter, and we had a great time. But, I wanted to change things up this year, and have Autumn bring a friend. Plus, Price has spent the past month working CRAZY hours for a deadline, so I wanted to give a nice relaxing night at home. With Hunter going to bed at 6.30, he would have plenty of quiet time to kick back and put his feet up. (Or not relax at all and rip apart a wall for a house project! ha!)

It feels like summer is never going to end here in FL.

I know that everyone is like “OMG! Pumpkin Spice Lattes are HERE!!!!!” But I’m still trying to keep cool because the daily temps are in the 90’s and heat index temps in the 100’s. I love it because summer is my favorite season, but I also can’t wait to have temps back in the 80’s. Maybe in November? ha!

Eggs Benedict – Oxford Exchange, Tampa, FL

Eggs Benedict from Oxford Exchange is a brunch classic that is executed perfectly. Tampa’s hippest restaurant is the perfect place for this weekend’s brunch.

Oxford Exchange is a fun Restaurant and Shop located in Tampa, near University of Tampa campus. While the locale would suggest a prominently college age clientele, Oxford Exchange attracts everyone as the food and drinks are wonderful. The hip shop is just as enjoyable too.

Enjoy a moment browsing the books, candles, and other fun gifts before take a seat at your reservation.

Fresh Summer Cherry Cobbler

This Fresh Summer Cherry Cobbler is bursting with ripe, sweet cherries and topped with a fluffy, crumbly cobbler topping. Perfect with a scoop of ice cream.

I know I am late to the party when I say this, but I love the show “Suits.”

While I am working, I always have a podcast or show streaming for backgrounds noise. I have powered through so many podcasts from start to current episodes (Young House Love) or shows that way. I primarily use Hulu, but I just recently “discovered” that Amazon has a bunch of great movies and shows on there. Sure, I watched plenty of B movies on there. Like Hallmark Channel style movies, that are so simple and sappy. But, I saw that Suits was available and I decided to give it a try. Now, I’m almost done with season 4 and it’s been just 2 weeks.

A Fun Summer Day at Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park

A fun summer day at Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park is every kids dream. Having fun in wave pools, on slides, and enjoying ice cream is a great way to spend a day with family and friends. 

Thank you to Disney for inviting me to spend a wonderful day at Blizzard Beach.

With summer winding down, I knew that we needed to do something extra fun before school started. We did plenty of great things like going to the Children’s Museum, the library for story time with the Rays baseball players, the zoo, and the beach. But summer needed to end with a BANG! So we headed over to Disney World’s water park, Blizzard Beach, the day before school started.

The kids and I loaded up the van to head over to for a fun day with my friend Brittany, her kids, and step-daughter. 2 moms with 7 kids under 14… woo we had our hands full but we had a blast. And we didn’t lose anyone either!

With the kids ranging in age from 14 months to 13 years it was important for us that Blizzard Beach had something for everyone. There were safe, fun things for everyone to do.
