Ratatouille Themed Dinner Night
Bonjour! This week, we are immersing ourselves in the Walt Disney film, Ratatouille with our very own Ratatouille Themed Dinner! Ratatouille is a movie about a rat in Paris who has a remarkable ability to cook. The film celebrates French cuisine and the love of cooking as told by Remy, a rat who faces the daily challenges of tiny varmint in a big city. We love this film, and I always get HUNGRY watching it! Remy crafts incredible dishes in the movie, so I set out to recreate some of that magic in my own kitchen with recipes inspired by the film. Follow along, and I will walk you through…

How to Recreate Your Disney Vacation at Home!
Today, I am going to share some ways in which you can recreate your Disney vacation (or dream vacation) at home! My least favorite part of a Disney vacation is knowing the magic must eventually come to an end. Enter…THE POST-DISNEY BLUES. The Disney Blues are ROUGH!

But how (you may ask) can I experience the magic of the Parks when they are SO FAR AWAY?! By recreating your Disney vacation at home! This is my absolute FAVORITE way to combat the Post-Disney Blues. It gives me…

Easy Crockpot Irish Stew
Our St Paddy’s Day celebrations aren’t complete without a big bowl of Irish Stew! It’s warm, filling, comfort food at its finest. This Easy Crockpot Irish Stew recipe is a favorite of mine because it can be quickly assembled and then left alone to do its thing for most of the day. You can even combine the stew ingredients the night before, store in the refrigerator, then dump in the crockpot when you are ready to start cooking! You can’t beat the convenience and ease of cooking in your crockpot. Just toss in your ingredients, turn up the heat, and let your crockpot do the rest! I created this Easy…

There is nothing more magical than a Walt Disney World vacation. As soon as you set foot on property, you feel your worries melt away. The only thing that matters anymore, is making lifelong memories with your family and having FUN! But there is one major downfall to enjoying such a carefree vacation – the POST-DISNEY BLUES. What are the Post-Disney Blues, you ask? Well, the Post-Disney Blues (or Disney Withdrawals) refers to the overwhelming feeling of sadness you experience at the conclusion of your Walt Disney World vacation.

Princess and the Frog Dinner Night
This week, we paid homage to the Mardi Gras season by enjoying a Princess and the Frog Dinner Night on Fat Tuesday, itself! Hailing from North Dakota, we see little recognition of the Southern holiday in our area. Admittedly, we unknowingly planned our last Walt Disney World trip (and wedding day) around the holiday and were shocked by how packed the parks were! Lesson learned – Mardi Gras is the REAL DEAL. Since we were married on Fat Tuesday last year and Princess and the Frog is a favorite Disney film in our household, I wanted to pay tribute to Mardi Gras with a Princess and the Frog Dinner Night. …

Ways to Celebrate Valentine’s Day as a Family
Happy Valentine’s Day, readers! This week , I’m excited to share with you the different ways we celebrate Valentine’s Day as a family. Valentine’s Day has admittedly been my least favorite holiday I seldom looked forward to. I have always viewed the day as a mainly consumerist holiday, laced with expectations of flowers, chocolates, and obtaining busy restaurant reservations. It’s a lot of pressure! Not to mention EXPENSIVE as well! After working several years in the restaurant industry (and on VERY BUSY Valentine’s Days), I decided I wanted to celebrate this holiday a little differently – and that was at home with my family. Once we started to celebrate Valentine’s…
