The Best Mickey Mouse Breakfast Birthday Party Ever!

I put together a fun and easy breakfast waffle bar to celebrate Mickey Mouse’s official birthday, which iss November 18th. And the breakfast waffle bar was such a hit that we have basically been eating it most days for about two weeks now.

2018 also marked the year that our family visited the most magical place on Earth for the first time. Yep- we did it! Disneyland with young children. We are now back home with two new Mickey Mouse fanatics who wanted to celebrate Mickey Mouse’s birthday in style- Eggo style that is!

The look of awe, wonder, and joy on my daughters’ faces made all the work worth it. They were in complete bliss- eyes wide with wonder, peppering me with a million questions and running in circles of euphoria.

The Best First Date Ever- And I’m Already Married!

Last Tuesday I had about had it with the kitchen. I’d spent all weekend prepping food, grocery shopping, and dreaming of a beach vacation.

And yet somehow, in a span of 48 hours, the food I had prepped had disappeared. And the thought of researching a recipe, heading back to the grocery store and then cooking was making me nauseous.

Awesome Family Denver Staycation- For Halloween!

We recently visited the Great Wolf Lodge Halloween celebration here in Colorado Springs for the first time- thanks to an invite from the Great Wolf Lodge.
