As you may have read in my previous planning post and trip report, Brad and I just returned from Walt Disney World. We went back to celebrate our two year wedding anniversary. Below is a review of our stay at Saratoga Springs. If you want more information on my trip and haven't read about it yet, read it here.
As you may have read in my previous planning post, Brad and I just returned from Walt Disney World. We went back to celebrate our two year wedding anniversary. Unfortunately, this is probably our last time visiting for a little while, so we tried to make the most of the time we had. Hence all the planning that was involved. I also wanted this trip to be semi-laid back. We did not follow my touring plans at all. Generally, I knew where I wanted us to be each time of day, and I kept track of our Fastpasses and dining reservations, but other than that, we made decisions on the go. Below is a breakdown of each day of our trips. Later this week, I plan to have reviews of both our hotel and our dining locations. I will link those within this post as they are published, so be on the lookout for those!
Hamburger steak is a great alternative to hamburgers. It's really great on nights where you have a pound of beef but no hamburger buns.
On our most recent trip to Disney World, I wanted to paint my nails in a Disney fashion. I found some different ideas from Pinterest, but I was unsuccessful in recreating them the same way. My mom and I improvised and below are the results!
When a was planning a baby shower for a coworker, I knew John Deere would be the perfect theme. Her son's nursery was going to have a lot of John Deere incorporated, and she is also a John Deere fan. Unfortunately finding John Deere baby shower items is difficult, so I decided to make my own. Below are the centerpieces I made and Cupcake toppers.
Brad and I have just returned from Disney World. This post is the first of many to come in regards to this trip. I have discussed how I plan a Disney World trip in a previous post, but this particular post will breakdown all of the planning and costs regarding this particular trip. I discuss all of the thoughts that I have when making each decision and how I come to my final one. Look for my trip report and restaurant reviews in the next few weeks!
I absolutely love fried okra. Brad loves my fried okra too. Well, I have been trying to eat healthier. With that said, fried okra doesn't equal super healthy. So I decided to try baked okra. It actually turned out really great and is a good alternative to fried okra.
This is something Brad and I did while counting down to our recent Disney trip. This is a really easy craft and it can be customized any way you want!
For my sister-in-law's baby shower, my husband and I worked together to make a gift basket for her and her new baby. See below for all the details!
Try this easy and inexpensive appetizer at your next party! Perfect for sports gatherings.
We have completed some general spring cleaning things around our house over the past few weeks. Below are a few of those things.
A few weeks after getting married, Brad and I redid my closet. It was originally wired shelving, and we wanted to upgrade this. We also wanted to provide me with drawer space within the closet. We found a unit at Home Depot that we really liked and installed it. We then added some shelving and rods on the side. Below are some before and after shots of this upgrade:
Last weekend, we decided to install glass shelves in Brad's office. This is something he has been wanting to do for a while. We actually found ones he liked at Ikea, but they were being discontinued and they did not have enough in stock. So we decided to venture to Home Depot and see what we could find.
As I have mentioned in a previous post, my sister-in-law's baby shower had a storybook theme. When trying to decide a guestbook, it seemed fitting that it be a storybook that people signed.
My best friend and Matron of Honor hosted my lingerie shower. It was a lots of fun, and she had great food and decorations. We teamed up when deciding the decor and she was nice enough to let me even pick out the yummy food!
If you are dieting or just looking for a healthier way to eat pizza, this recipe is for you. It is really quick to make and is easy to customize to everyone you are feeding! I'm sure it would also make a great afternoon snack!
Transforming your decor from Easter to spring is fairly easy since the colors for both seem to be the same. See below for the changes I made.
Our freezer can sometimes get out of hand with all of the foodsaving that we do. I currently have to reorganize my freezer about once a month. Well I decided to try and resolve this problem and keep from having to reorganize as often.
On the weekends, I always try and cook breakfast for Brad and me. He loves Bacon and Egg sandwiches. After Valentine's Day, we had some Sister Schubert rolls leftover. We rarely buy the tin of rolls for this reason. But we decided to try using the rolls instead of loaf bread for our Bacon and Egg Sandwiches. They turned out really well, and Brad wanted me to share this with everyone!
