5 Family Friendly Activities in Florida at Christmas

Christmas has always been my favorite time of the year. It was always celebrated big each year with my family. I vividly remember decorating the tree with popcorn strands, my mom sewing our pajamas year after year, and the big Christmas eve party with my dads side of the family. It was always celebrated with family, and I love that about Christmas. I love that you spend the entire season doing things with your family. As the boys get older we are able to fill our calendar with fun events around the state--I'm excited to share my favorite events going on this holiday season.

Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Bowl

Fall is my favorite time of year. We decorate the first day of September for all things fall and halloween. My kids enjoy picking out their costumes and reading all the fall books. My favorite part of fall are all the specialty food items on every restaurant in town--especially the pumpkin dishes. I've recently found a favorite at a local juice/smoothie place, and although I would love to go daily my wallet just isn't loving that idea. I've solved the problem, and I've created my own pumpkin smoothie with just a few ingredients that you probably already have on hand! 

The Best Shoes for Toddlers and Preschoolers

The new school year brings new backpacks, lunchboxes, tons of supplies, clothes, and most importantly new shoes. Having a toddler and preschooler you will often times buy new shoes ever 4-6 months as their feet grow so quickly, or they may just have a lot of wear to them. We typically buy a couple shoes for the season and none of them really get terrible wear, allowing us to resell on Poshmark or the Facebook pages. 

Get Organized: Amazon Subscribe and Save

Before I was a mom I'd run to the store grab what I needed and head home. Two kids and a few years later I take all the easy routes--and I don't care one bit. I've had Shipt since the moment they started in Tampa, meal delivery (Home Chef is nice, but I love when the meal is made already and all I have to do is reheat), and one of my favorites Amazon. This isn't lazy--this is called utilizing your time wisely. Because of all these things--I play outside, pre-make lunches, make practices, just enjoy being a family.

Master Bathroom Reveal

It's been a while since I have posted, and first up on the blog is a much awaited master bathroom post. When we first built our home I had so many questions about the house and I'm hoping to answer all those questions in posts that I have planned over the next few months. I've been a little MIA this past year as I went back to teaching, I have decided to stay home with the boys and focus again on them and my blog. Excited for what is to come this next year.
