Friday Finds: Holiday Partyin’

By Leave a Comment

Hello all! I’m super excited it’s Friday – what’s new, right? We have several fun plans planned for the weekend and we can’t wait to get it started! It’s been absolutely frigid the past two days, so it’s going to be cold, but we’re grateful for the break. How about you? Anything fun planned?!



Disney Day: Part 2

By Leave a Comment

I had to extend our Disney visit over two posts because there was just too many cute pictures to share. This day was absolutely amazing, but so exhausting! I nearly cried leaving the park because it hurt so much to walk! Does that mean I’m too old for Disneyland?! While we definitely had our tired moments, it was nothing that couldn’t be cured with a massive turkey leg or Dole Whip. We consider ourselves to be Disney veterans, yet we were consistently amazed by all the new things we discovered. Exploring the little details of the park was inadvertent and simultaneously wonderful. Discussing the detailed facades, the identities of the decor designers and the grams of sugar in a churro helped pass the minutes of waiting in the winding lines.
At the end of the day – in spite of aching feet and tired limbs – the beautiful fireworks and subsequent faux snow made for some pretty magical memories. It was the perfect ending to a fabulous family vacation!

Ahh, Disneyland. The most fun (and happiest place) on earth! We were so grateful to join my husband’s family for a fun-filled California vacation, which included time at the two glorious parks. There were churros, popcorn, more churros and very warm temperatures. We enjoyed running and practically leaping (yep, we are that family) from ride to ride picking up the occassional FastPasses along the way. I’ve never been to the parks with kids, so it was an entirely new experiences seeing little faces light up at everything! It made everything that much more fun. 
Can we discuss the Disney decor? We timed our visit perfectly – it was my favorite time! The flower beds replaced with poinsettias and the two-story tree at the entrance to Main Street are my favorite features. I love seeing everything decked out in Christmas finery. It makes it a bit more magical (if that’s even possible)!



Friday Finds: Anthropologie

Does anyone else get excessively excited when the newest Anthro catalog arrives? Each issue is brilliantly designed and the themes are always so on trend. The winter editions are always useful for heightening my holiday spirit! I recently received the current issue and as usual, it didn’t disappoint. I like to think that marketing campaigns don’t influence my buying practices, but 20 minutes later, I was on the Anthropologie website, hot chocolate in hand, browsing the new arrivals with my credit card at the ready. Luckily, I exercised some self-control and made a wish list instead. These are some of my favorites – enjoy!
