I partnered with Bealls Florida on this gift guide, but all opinions are my own. Shopping for Christmas in Florida while still wearing flip flops, shorts, and going to the beach can still be fun! Embrace the warmer weather and get the kids items they can enjoy all year round. We love going to the beach in December - I don't want to get in the ocean, but it's usually a cool 70 degrees and the kids can play in the sand. Stocking up this year on all of the crafts, and giving them as gi[...]
*This stay was hosted, but all views and opinions are completely my own. I've been going to Cocoa Beach for the majority of my life. Growing up in Central Florida, you can get there in just over an hour. I went (and still go) to the beach any chance I get, all year long! Cocoa Beach is a staple memory in my late teens - early twenties, and the Westgate Cocoa Beach pier is at the heart of it. As a mom, I love that my kids get to make the same memories I did as a kid, with so many more aw[...]
Peanut butter Whiskey - have you heard of it? It's new, from Skrewball, and I had it recently while out and loved it! It's a fun twist on whiskey, and perfect for sipping on cold (or slightly cooler, if you live in Florida) nights. What I want you to know about this drink, is I don't even like eggnog, and neither did the two other girls who drank them. It's definitely sweet, so would make for a fun dessert cocktail! What you'll need: Skrewball (Peanut butter whiskey)Egg nog Peanut B[...]
Has everyone shifted into the Christmas season? I've been decorating since the beginning of November while Tiffany held on to Fall for a little bit longer. I think we're finally on the same page so, today we're posting a Christmas Cranberry Moscow Mule. With Tiffany out of town, I invited my Moscow Mule obsessed girlfriend over to try this out on her. It was an absolute hit. For me, the sugar rim is necessary, but for her it wasn't. What You'll Need: VodkaGinger BeerLimeHoneyC[...]
This recipe is just in time for Thanksgiving! I don't think we could have created a more festive cocktail for this time of year. To be completely honest, I was skeptical on this cocktail at first. I'm not a huge apple cider person, but Hannah had this recipe ready, and I had planned nothing, sooo.. Apple Pie it was. I was so surprised at how much I liked it. I think the honey and cinnamon sugar rim is 100% necessary on this one! It really makes the drink, and gives it a little something extra.[...]
Oh hello super festive and delicious cocktail. This concoction is as delicious as it is pretty! It actually wasn't our intention to create such a Christmas-y cocktail, but as I'm sure you've realized, we aren't the best planners, and the fruit we wanted to use wasn't in season. But hey, I'm not mad about it, this was a total win! Our goal of these cocktails is to make sure they are easy to make, but add just a little #extra to your party or regular Thursday. What you'll need: Prosecc[...]
Happy November! I've been seeing so many Christmas decorations, but I'm not ready to give up my pumpkin just yet. Today we have the perfect Pumpkin Spiked Iced Coffee for you! This came out so good - and I will definitely be making this for weeks to come. I really think its the perfect morning cocktail while getting ready for Thanksgiving - a little coffee, a little alcohol, it makes for a much less stressful day of cooking (and eating). What You'll Need: Bailey's Pumpkin Spice Vani[...]
*This post contains affiliate links* Fathers Day is less than a week away! Our family has been going full speed the last month, and it doesn’t look like it is slowing down anytime soon. June is a busy month for us because it includes Robby’s birthday, Fathers Day, and our annual family vacation to Pompano Beach. This year Robby turns the big 30, so on top of his normal birthday festivities we took an adult only cruise earlier this month and we thre a big party at our house with the kid[...]
Follow my blog with Bloglovin Wow! 2017 is just days away from being over.I feel like this past year was a whirlwind, so many amazing things and changes have happened for our family this year, and I am so excited for what 2018 has to bring. MILESTONE #1 One of my goals for 2017 was to find a new career doing what I love. It was one of the most difficult decisions to leave a comfortable job that I loved, but I knew that it wasn't for me in the long run. I couldn't be happier with the dec[...]
It's the first Friday of November, and my first Friday Favorites - Halloween edition. This week was filled with so much fun! Unfortunately, the little one was sick last weekend, so we missed the family Halloween party, but we were able to visit our local Church's pumpkin patch and paint pumpkins with just 2 days until Halloween.Nothing like putting it off until the last minute, but hey - it was great! Dylan was so excited to pick out pumpkins and was even willing to take pictures - as long as he[...]
With the cooler Florida weather there is no doubt that it is fall y'all! I feel that our life has been going on 100 mph the past month! We have had a lot of weekend trips, Halloween festivities, and potentially getting ready to close on our new home! The home buying process is a roller coaster. When we started we were so busy that I didn't really notice. Now we feel that this is going at a snails pace since we are home and playing the waiting game. We have so much to be thankful for regar[...]
Dylan: Mommy, you are my mommy now because I am little, but when I grow up to the sky and turn into a T-Rex you aren't my mom anymore. Me: I will always be your mommy, no matter how big you are. Dylan: Even when I grow to the sky like T-Rex? Me: Of course, no matter what, I will always be your mommy! Dylan: Wow, thats cool.
