No excuses about huge the lapse in posting here.  I am just going to move forward and today seems like a good day to do it.   I am not going to go and ramble on about what we have done since January I am just going to start with some of what has gone on this past weekend with the wildlife around our home. We have had quite a few bright orioles show up at our humming bird feeder this spring.  They normally come for just a couple days and...

January in Northeast Ohio is just the longest, roughest month of the year.  It’s just a depressing boring time of the year.    What would make it more exciting????  Making cookies. So I looked through my recipes and I looked around online to find something that would satisfy everyone’s cravings.  I found the recipe for these…… Mmmmm!  Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies.  If you want the recipe just click...

Happy New Year!  I hope you’ve had a wonderful holiday season.  We have had a really nice holiday season this year.  Brandon has been on vacation and we have just been hanging out at home and doing some visiting too. Everyone had a really nice Christmas.  Just look at what my sister and brother-in-law sent for me! I just love it!  It looks perfect by our castle. Now it is on to the new year.  I listed Brandon’s newest...

We have been celebrating Christmas for a while here.  While we were on vacation this year Brandon bought me a couple Christmas gifts that we’ve been enjoying ever since. First is Cinderella’s Castle decorated for Christmas.  It even has some snow! We saw this castle in only one gift shop in the Magic Kingdom and knew if we didn’t buy it we’d never see it again. We also bought a Haunted Mansion…… I know...

With all the snow we have been getting, it sure does look like Christmas.  The house is decorated, gifts are bought, now it is time to start baking. So with our blizzard like weather last week I decided to make this year’s gingerbread house.  I looked around online and decided that I didn’t want to try to make something elaborate I wanted to make something simple.  Something that wouldn’t take two weeks to complete!  I...

A couple of months ago while planning our trip to Disney, I found a post about the artists they have that create silhouettes.  You can read about them and view the video about them on  Disney Parks Blog. I decided that was definitely something I wanted to have done when we went.  They have a few locations around Magic Kingdom, one on Main Street and one  by the castle on the way to Liberty Square… We had our son’s silhouette...

I hope everyone had a Spooktacular Halloween!  I know we did.  We’d been getting ready for our Halloween festivities for months.  To look around our house it looked as if we’ve done the same things as normal.  But were they? Nope here is how we spent our Halloween this year! On Saturday, October 30th we hopped a plane and headed south for a week of fun at Disney World …. We attended the Mickey’s Not So Scary...
