I don't mean to sound cliche or like a little kid, but our trip to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter was literally a dream come true!  I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat!  Location : For those who aren't familiar with how WWHP is set up, it's spread out over two parks in Universal Orlando Resort. Hogsmeade opened in 2010 and is located in Island of Adventure. Diagon Alley opened in 2014 and is located in Universal Studios. I definitely recommend getting the Park Hopper Passes and using the Hogwarts Express to go back and forth between both parks while you're there! And I'd suggest at least a full day for each park! When to visit :  Shawn and I picked the PERFECT week to visit Universal Studios.  We went Thursday through Saturday of the week  after Labor Day.

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!

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...
