Disney vacation & planning. It's something that can be both fun & stressful - all at the same time. This year, our kids seemed to be at the perfect age to visit Disney, so that was their Christmas gift. They opened their gift on Christmas morning and the planning began. After going back and forth on if we should stay on Disney property or not, we found the best little Airbnb townhouse about 15 minutes from Disney which was half the price a Disney hotel was, had 5 bedrooms, 4 ...
Twenty Books in 2020
A new year calls for new books and new reading goals. I'm not much of a reader, but I want to become one. Twenty books in 2020. Yes, you read that right. I'm going to try to read twenty books this year. I may not make it all the way to twenty, but I'm at least going to try. I'm going to break up the 20 books into smaller groups over several months. Maybe then I won't feel overwhelmed. So, the first batch of my 2020 books looks like this: Treasuring Christ When Your Hands are Full: ...
25 Days of Christmas Books
December is here and we've already begun a few of our annual Christmas traditions. I love family traditions and the 25 Days of Christmas Books is one of them. Starting in mid November, I thumb through our Christmas books (somewhere where the kids won't see or get into them just yet) and choose which books I want to include in our 25 Days of Christmas Books tradition. I choose several from the bin and then purchase a few new ones each year. I wrap each of the 25 books and then each night in ...

5 Nights Out on 30A – a few of our favorite 30A restaurants
We always look forward to September every year. It’s the month that we get away to 30A for a few weeks as a family. It’s no secret we love our little home away from home in Santa Rosa Beach and cherish our slow, beach days each year. 30A restaurants are some of our favorite of any place we have traveled. There are SO many options for food along 30A. Whether you need a fun breakfast out, a cozy spot for lunch, or a place for dinner with the family or a date night — there’s somewhere new ...
Review of the IKEA Svalnas Desk
The Svalnas desk is a desk that can be used in so many different rooms. I'm sure by now, you are well aware of IKEA and their lower priced furniture and pieces. Not only are they affordable, the quality is good too. We needed something for our school room. Well, I say school room, but it also serves as a place for our guests when we have overnight guests occasionally. This room has been a baby nursery, a guest room, a full blown school room, and now it serves as a guest room & school ...
