This recipe is a very healthy breakfast alternative. You can also freeze the melon ahead of time to save money!
Walmart Grocery Pickup Service Review
Currently, our local Neighborhood Walmart is testing a new service. This service allows you to order your groceries online, select a pickup date, arrive, and a Walmart employee will deliver and load them in your car for you. We tested this service late February for our March monthly grocery visit.
Easter Wreath
This wreath is a fairly easy wreath to make and can be used not only on a door, but also as wall decor. It only took me a few hours to make.
BBQ Meatballs
BBQ Meatballs have turned out to be one of our favorite recipes, but it does take a bit of commitment of your time to make! My friend at Cupcakes and Commentary actually cooked this for Brad and I one night and shared the recipe from The Pioneer Woman. My recipe is identical to The Pioneer Woman's except I have converted this recipe to use 2 pounds of meat rather than the 1.5 pounds she uses. Happy Cooking!
DIY Wedding Reception Programs/Placecards
For our wedding reception, I decided to combine the placecards with a reception program. I wanted guests to have some sort of outline of the evening's festivities. I used the same pink cardstock that we used for our Wedding Programs. I made them so that the size of the program was exactly half of one entire page. This made cutting the programs really easy. I had a lot of test ones made before printing the real thing.
Honeymoon Ideas and Costs
It is wedding season so I thought I would do some research on potential honeymoon ideas and costs. Honeymoon costs can vary greatly. Today I research three different kinds of honeymoons. With all three my budget was $3,500. I used the honeymoon dates of 5/17/15 - 5/23/15. The prices that I am quoting below were researched mid-February 2015. There is a great chance that prices have changed slightly. But this may give you an idea of some honeymoon options at a reasonable cost.
Baked Lemon Fish
We love cooking fish. It is so quick and easy. We have been making this recipe since we first got married!
DIY Wedding Program
Since it is wedding season, I thought I would share with you what our DIY wedding programs looked like. When designing them, I did a lot of research on different styles. I designed them myself as well as printed and assembled them.
Things Some People Don't Know About Disney World
Below are a few things that a lot of Disney-goers know about, but some may not. Brad helped me compile this list because we were trying to think of things that we didn't know before our first trip as adults. I hope there are a few things that you may learn about today!

Subzero Review
As I have mentioned in a previous post, some weeks Brad and I take turns picking a new restaurant to try and we do not tell each other the restaurant until we arrive. Last Friday we tried a local Italian restaurant. After dinner, I surprised Brad by taking him to another new place, Subzero. We have passed by this ice cream/yogurt shop many times, but honestly, we assumed it was your stereotypical frozen yogurt shop. I did some research on it. It actually is more of an experience than just a fix some yogurt and add some toppings place.
FoodSaver Uses
When Brad and I got married, a friend gave us a Foodsaver as a wedding gift. At first we just used it sparingly. Over time we starting using it almost daily. We now have a freezer full of meals and meat, and our grocery bill is almost non-existent. I wanted to share five great uses for the Foodsaver.
Veggie Soup with Beef
Veggie soup is one our easiest crockpot recipes. Brad has been making this since we met.
February Beauty Moment
This month I've decided that instead of sharing what beauty products I am loving, I am going to share with you the makeup products that I use daily. The makeup routine that I use takes only 5 minutes. It is really quick and easy. This is my everyday makeup routine, not my date night or big event makeup. The blush and eye shadow colors change often, and if I receive new products in my ipsy bag, I sometimes alternate those, but the overall 5 minute routine rarely changes.
Fabric Bookmark
As a nice surprise for Brad, I found some leftover TMNT fabric that I knew I probably would never use. I decided to take the fabric and make Brad a bookmark. This was really a quick and easy project. If you have some leftover fabric, thread, needle, and a random piece of cardboard you are good to go!
How We Spend Valentine's Day
Ever since Brad and I started dating, we have always celebrated Valentine's Day the same. We always opt to buy some nice steaks or seafood and cook in instead of dealing with the crowds and chaos of going out.
