Leading Up to Nine

How is it possible that my baby turns 9 today?! I feel like I just recapped her birth story, and here we are celebrating the last single digit year before she hits a full decade. Whoa.

In-between out of town gymnastics competitions, we celebrated her a few weeks early with her favorite school friends at Buff City Soap. The kiddos got to make their own bath bombs to take home, and enjoyed another delicious custom cake from our former neighbor. The BEST! 

Then it was time to celebrate our friends' twins who were turning 8 with a pool party. It was nice to catch up with some of our favs, and we grabbed pizza after before calling it a night.

The next day we enjoyed brunch at STK Steakhouse in Disney Springs. Their all you can eat brunch menu is delish! Rumor has it, I'm still full. Also always here for a fun photo opp in front of their floral logo. 

Another gymnastics meet for Lil' Miss the following weekend which had us up at 5:30 am, and on the road by 6:00 so she could start stretching at 7:30 on the other side of the state. Multiple coffees later, she earned an additional 2 medals. One for bars and another for the all around.

Today, we are celebrating our sweet girl and I'm sure the day will be filled with LOTS of excitement, treats, and video calls with family up north.

Homecoming and a Disney Birthday

I'm in the middle of a whirlwind travel season at work (recapped Venice and Panama City here), but am fortunate to be home for a few weeks which also included a very special little girl's fifth birthday. How is my sweet girl FIVE?! 

My husband and I squeezed in a quick day date, we celebrated Lil' Miss's birthday at Disney World since we decided to skip a party again this year due to not knowing how many people would be comfortable with attending, and also squeezed in as much fall fun as we could.

Disney Weekending

It was SO nice to catch up with some of fav ladies this weekend to celebrate two birthdays at Disney Springs. It was a day full of rooftop drinks, charcuterie boards, lots of laughs, and the Christmas Tree Trail. Girls days are good for the soul!

And then let's just file this under things I said I would NEVER do as a mom - we officially welcomed an Elf into our home complete with a North Pole breakfast. Lil' Miss was over the moon excited, and had more sugar than she's ever had in one sitting. Meet Sprinkles! She'll be with us until Christmas Eve, and we are officially that family - ha!

An Evening in Provence

Last week, I headed out on a "school night" to venture down to Disney Springs for the first annual Spring Showcase event at L'Occitane for an evening of sipping, tasting, mingling, and pampering with other local bloggers and store owners. I almost didn't go because I was afraid to go by myself and mingle, but I'm so glad I took the plunge and went.

These spicy margaritas were DELISH! I keep saying I need the recipe, but then I stumbled upon on it on the menu board in the below picture. Definitely going to try to recreate them at home - yum!

Such a fun night, I'm so glad I stepped out of my comfort zone and met some local bloggers, enjoyed some pampering, and enjoyed the best spicy margarita I've ever had. Yep, still thinking about that. And the macarons.
