While on our stay-cation down by Disney last week I happened upon the most amazing place called Babycakes. I had heard of them online and around the gluten-free blog world, but oh. my. word. I had never tasted anything so good. I went a little nuts and got cake, cupcakes, cookies, and donuts. DONUTS! I had not had a donut in so long. Yes, I went a little carb/sugar crazy, but oh so worth it.
Their baked goods are fluffy, moist, sweet, indulgent, and addicting. I had no self-control.
It is a good thing that they are located down by Disney and not down the street because I would be there every single day.
If you live in the area and have not been to Babycakes, it is located in Downtown Disney Village right before the lego play area.
Your Welcome.
Last week we took a few days off and relaxed pool side with our little family. It is hard to imagine life without L now. She completes us in the best of ways and even though we vacation a little differently now, (i.e. bedtime at 9:30pm), it is fulfilling and fun in a new and exciting way.
We lounged at the pool, bought a new raft for L, walked around Downtown Celebration, went to Animal Kingdom Lodge for breakfast, and battled the rain at Sea World. It was a great little getaway for creating new memories in our little family. I hope you all had a lovely weekend.
Happy Friday! We have been on a stay-cation of sorts this past week and it is drawing to a close. Leighton LOVES the pool and we soon discovered it is the best way to get her to take a nap. I hope you have all had a lovely week and have something fun planned for the weekend. We are going to enjoy our last couple of days and get in some more pool time.
What I am loving this week:
* This music post.
* This Camp looks amazing and I want to go.
* Tape stickers…this looks fun!
Also Loving ~
* Pool time with the family.
* Mommy and baby yoga.
* A gluten-free carb fest from this place. YUM.
Have a lovely weekend!!!
Oh my this week flew by! My little girl turned 6 MONTHS yesterday! Hard to believe she is half a year old already. Crazy. She is sitting up pretty well, teething like crazy, starting to form little words, and loves to pull herself up by holding on to our fingers. She is amazing.
This weekend we are going on a mini staycation to the resorts down by Disney. I am looking forward to playing in the pool and just relaxing a bit for a couple of days. What are your fun plans for the weekend?
Here is what I am loving this week:
* Fun new antique store finds.
* Gluten-free glorious morning muffins.
* These nails.
* A nice glass of wine at the end of a long week.
Have a lovely weekend!
I am learning something new every single day about being a Mother and each day keeps getting better and better. I have decided to start posting regular lists of the things I am learning. Feel free to add yours as well, I would love to hear!
- Every Mothers experience is different, don’t compare yours to theirs…it will make you crazy.
- All baby (how to) books contradict one another and mess with your head…I find that I am better off just going with the flow and allowing my motherly instinct to kick in and do its job.
- I believe that Chick fil a was created for Moms, you know, those who do not want to handle getting everything/everyone out of the car for lunch (especially when it is raining or they are napping)…also, it is the only fast food place I will go to. Double also, their parking lots are great for nursing…I know I am not alone in this.
- A smile, giggle, or laugh from my girl can make any day brighter and is an instant mood lifter.
- Since becoming a Mother I have become so much more patient in every situation and have learned to just slow down and enjoy those in between moments.
Yep…I am bringing back the Friday Love posts, I have missed regular blogging. Even if no one ever reads these posts, I enjoy looking back through the years and seeing what we have been up to and where we have been. So with that said, It’s Friday! This afternoon L and I had lunch with a good friend, and tomorrow we are probably going to scour our neighborhood for garage sales. There are a few items I am looking for to do some little DIY-ing for the home. On Sunday, we are going on a….wait for it…DATE! Yep, the hubby and I are finally getting a sitter and heading out for dinner and a movie. I can’t wait. What are your plans this weekend?
Here is what I am loving this week:
* This jumpsuit for my mini.
* I have been enjoying this raw and honest blog about marriage.
* These jeans are on my to buy list.
* MMMMmmmm Coconut cream cheese…must.make.soon.
Also Loving ~
* Daily evening walks.
* Bedtime stories with L.
* Frozen chocolate covered bananas.
Not Loving ~
*The pesky little spiders I keep killing all over the house…what is it spider season or something?
Have a lovely weekend!
This past weekend we took Leighton to the pool for the first time and she loooooved it. She did not want to get out of the water. She splashed and kicked and laughed and squealed. Who knew sitting in a kiddie pool for hours could be so much fun? I suddenly feel like a kid again reliving all the fun childhood memories through my daughters eyes. I have a feeling this summer is going to be full of many pool days.
Over 5 months have gone by since I became a Mother and I am loving it. I would be lying if I told you its been a piece of cake…although I do find myself eating a whole lot more cake, I guess stress will do that to you. It has been, however, a very rewarding, humbling, life changing experience. L is 5 months and starting to discover the world around her. We took her to Sea World for the first time a couple of weekends ago and she really enjoyed watching the fish swim, and she was especially interested in Shamu. It is so cool to experience something that I loved as a child through my daughters eyes…it makes it new again. I can’t wait to go back, we have season passes for the rest of the year. So at 5 months she is sitting up very well (assisted), hates naps, and loves chewing on everything (those darned teeth). I can tell she has a super sweet spirit and is genuinely a really happy baby.
I am slow with these posts but, Leighton is 4 months old, almost 5 months, and she is such a delight to be around. She babbles, coos, smiles, and laughs. She tracks everything with her eyes and is so alert. She is sleeping great and is a very adaptable baby, we have had a crazy month with another Eldridge wedding, to a road trip to Charlotte for the funeral of my Grandpa. It is good to know that she adjusts to our insane schedules. I love her more each day.
L is 3 Months! Going fast I tell you, going fast. Isn’t she a cutie? I think so.
Three Months.
