When we had our family trip to Disneyland in December, Scott and I were able to have an evening to ourselves. Both Disneyland and California Adventure had added new attractions since the last time we were there ten years ago, and Carthay Circle Lounge was on our list to try. We are huge foodies and the small plates and cocktails at the lounge were top rated everywhere we looked. It didn't take any thought at all to spend our Date Night at Carthay Circle. Carthay Circle Lounge doesn't take ... Read More

Fun Mystery Series to Listen to on Audible
I've listened to audiobooks and radio shows for as long as I can remember. It started with recorded cassette tapes of classic radio shows like The Shadow and Sherlock Holmes, and expanded from there. I got my first (and still only!) iPod about twelve years ago and was introduced to a whole new world where I could load any book I wanted onto a device that could go anywhere with me. Since I had always listened to my books as I went to sleep, it also meant that I could put in earphones and not ... Read More
Holiday Anzus Biscuits
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #MemoriesInTheBaking #CollectiveBias No matter how hard we try to avoid it, the last few days leading up to Christmas always seem busy. The girls are off of school, but Scott is still working.

The one thing that we always manage to do as a ... Read More
Holly Bow Minnie Mouse Hoodies
Scott and I are huge Disney fans. As in, as much as we love to travel, we find ourselves going to Disney parks over and over. Disneyland is our favorite, and when we lived in New Zealand, we stopped over every time we traveled to and from the States. After all, if you have to go through Los Angeles, it makes sense, right?! We've been looking forward to taking the girls to Disneyland for a long time and decided to do it at Christmas. It's the one season we hadn't experienced yet. When we ... Read More
Celestial Inspired Vinyl Tote
**This post contains sponsored sponsored content and affiliate links. All opinions are my own.** I've been fascinated by the recent Pluto photos that we've been able to see. I've always loved space. In fact, in previous jobs, they knew that I would be late on launch days because I had to watch. I joined in with a fun group of bloggers to make projects using vinyl from Expressions Vinyl, and when I saw the glittered heat transfer vinyl options, I knew that I was going to make a Celestial ...

Kiwi Curried Egg Salad
I looooove egg salad season. For those who don't know, it starts at Easter and ends when it gets cold out again. ;) When we lived in New Zealand, egg salad season was year-round. I enjoyed an egg salad sandwich every time we stopped into a tea rooms. Kiwi (as in New Zealand) Curried Egg Salad brings back that taste of New Zealand while feeding my love of egg salad here. This egg salad is really easy to make. You will need: 6 hard boiled eggs, peeled 1/2 tsp curry powder a few ... Read More
