Shawn and I had the opportunity last week to go on a four day cruise from Orlando to the Bahamas and oh my gosh guys, it's so pretty down there! We had a blast and it was such a fun adventure, but there are definitely some things we learned. So here are some details, tips and advice for when y'all go on a cruise to one of the most beautiful places ever! Tip One: Do All Your "Homework" Before this trip, the last cruise Shawn and I went on was six years ago so we totally forgot a few things. First up, prepay all of your gratuities. We did this on our first cruise but somehow overlooked it this time. Prepaying allows you to not worry about tipping during the cruise and usually ends up being cheaper than if they charge you the flat rate per person per day during the cruise. Also, make sure you read all of the info the cruise line emails over when you book your cruise. That info tells you what identification you need to bring, what to expect, what's allo...

Happy Wednesday! Time for another round of "What's Up Wednesday" including fall fashion, a vacay sneak peek, pumpkin everything and more! And of course I'm linking up with  Shay ,  Sheaffer , and  Mel ! What we're eating this week: Have y'all ever had a homemade Crunchwrap Supreme?! They are amazing. I made them this week and they were a big hit! Here's  the recipe. What I'm reminiscing about: Our vacay this month *sigh*. My husband and I went on a cruise to the Bahamas then to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and it was utter perfection! The relaxation, the sunshine, the bluest water I've even seen, and of course a dream come true for a wizard trapped in a muggle world! You can read all about our cruise on Friday and HP World on Monday! Seriously, best trip ever! Here’s a sneak peek! What I'm loving : EVERYTHING PUMPKIN! One of my favorite things about Fall is all of the pumpkin stuff...specifically pum...

Hello Fall! I can't believe fall is already here, but let's be honest...I couldn't be more ready. R eady to start doing all the fall activities and fun things that happen this time of year. I'm a firm believer in and huge advocate for fall bucket lists; they inspire creativity,  encourage socializing, and serve as a reminder to take in the beauty of nature around us. It's that time of year again when I share my list with all of you. But I realized that I don't want this to just be a gathering of ideas. I want it to have merit, to be informative and to be a solid resource for you to utilize no matter your life's circumstances. So my list includes things you can do with friends, with your spouse or by yourself. It includes activities you can do indoors and things you can do outdoors. This list has something for the food lover, the nature junkie, the book worm, the athlete, the baker and so much more! Yay for fall! Put on your cutest rain...

If you're anything like me, you love this time of year. It means beautiful colors, crisp autumn air, and of course...pumpkin spice everything!! Seriously...I'm so obsessed it may be ridiculous. So I went on the hunt for the best of the best and made a list of everything pumpkin that I want to try this fall or have tried in the past. I found yummy drinks, desserts, snacks and more! Enjoy! DRINKS: Market Pantry Pumpkin Spice Eggnog -Target $2.50 TRIED : This stuff is like crack! No joke, I could chug the whole carton in one sitting. It's the perfect mix of pumpkin and spice. I know a lot of people don't like things with overpowering pumpkin tastes, so this is perfect! Archer Farms Pumpkin Spice Hot Cocoa Mix - Target $4.99 WANT : I'm a sucker for flavored hot cocoas! But I couldn't bring myself to buy this yet because it's still 90+ degrees outside! But you better believe when it finally cools down here in Texas, I'll ...
