Disney Inspired Mickey Cinnamon Rolls

Bring a little Disney magic home with this simple to make Mickey Cinnamon Rolls Recipe!

Bring a little Disney magic home with this simple to make Mickey Cinnamon Rolls Recipe!

One of the best parts of a trip to Walt Disney World besides the rides, the characters and all the fun is the FOOD! Everywhere you turn at the parks and even at the hotels is all the wonderful food. We always treat ourselves to one of the world famous cinnamon rolls on our trip from the Main Street Bakery or Gaston’s Tavern. It’s just so delicious and it’s one treat that is always a must do. In between trips, I like to try to re-create some of our favorite recipes at home for us to enjoy until we can get back to all the magic. These Mickey Cinnamon Rolls are one of these recipes. They’re so simple to make and well, they’re shaped like Mickey Ears so they naturally taste great!   [Read more…] about Disney Inspired Mickey Cinnamon Rolls

7 Reasons Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort is the Perfect Resort for Preschoolers

7 Reasons Disney's Grand Floridian Resort is the Perfect Resort for Preschoolers

In all of my trips to Walt Disney World, I’ve stayed at all the varied levels of hotels – Value, Moderate and Deluxe. In all my trips, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa wasn’t ever my first choice. Sure it’s a gorgeous hotel but I just wasn’t  sure how kid friendly it was. I mean, I know it’s Disney and everything is kid friendly but I always felt this resort was more for older kids and adults versus loud, rambumctious kids. After our trip in November, I couldn’t have been proved more wrong. Not only is it an exquisite resort but in my opinion, it’s the perfect resort for younger ones. Read on to see our 7 Reasons Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort is the Perfect Resort for Preschoolers.

  • Who else was outside enjoying this glorious weather today? #ad We spent all day outside and even had snack time out there because it was just so nice! Today I reached for my latest snack find, @fromthegroundupsnacks • With the look and flavors of snacks we love, these plant based alternatives are a healthier choice. • @fromthegroundupsnacks snacks are all plant based and taste SO GOOD! Evie didn’t even realized difference and proclaimed the cheddar crackers and pretzels sticks are her favorite! I have to agree. the cheddar are so yummy. My kids love to snack and this is one snack I can get behind! • • • • #EEEEEATS #eatclean #goodeats #fromthegroundupsnacks #cleaneats #eattheworld #onthetable #momapproved #kidsnutrition #hiddenveggies #kidssnacks #snacktime #cauliflower #cauliflowerpower #fromthegroundup #ftgu #onthego #momspick #schoolsafe #lunchboxideas #momfuel #kidslunch #nonGMO #eatclean #organic
  • One of my goals this year is to drink more water. Not just me, but the whole family too. #ad Before, that meant buying tons of bottled water but I hated going through so much plastic. After our trip to Alaska last year I promised myself I would try and cut back on the amount of plastic we used so buying MORE bottled water wasn’t an option. Instead we switched to a @primowater dispenser. Now we just use refillable water bottles or cups and we’re drinking so much more water with less waste! * Each 5 gallon bottle can be recycled multiple times and can even be refilled. Each Primo Water bottle eliminates 1,100 plastic bottles! That’s a lot of plastic! * @primowater goes through a 9-step purification process through reverse osmosis so you know it’s safe. The difference. Is in the taste and proof watching my kids reach for more water instead of juice! * Ready to ditch those plastic water bottles for good? Visit https://primowater.com/dispensers-list/ and use code DRINKBIG20 to get 20% off ANY dispenser AND free shipping! • • • • • • #DrinkBig #DrinkHealthy #PrimoEffect #candidmotherhood #momentsofmotherhood #motherhood #drinkmorewater #catsofinstagram #scottishfold

  • It’s no fun when our little ones are sick. Getting over this cold was a doozy but I’m so thankful for @matys when she’s sick. #ad * Their all natural cough syrup and vapor rub were such a lifesaver. No petroleum or hydrogenated oils ever. And every spoonful has 10 powerful immune boosters! That makes this mama feel good!! * Because Maty’s only uses whole food ingredients, you can use their cough syrup the same way you’d use honey or maple syrup! Use it in tea, smoothies, yogurt or over your favorite bowl of oatmeal! * * * * * * * #matyscoughsyrup #matysvaporrub #naturalalternatives #knowbetterdobetted #naturalproducts

Made with @READSalads, It’s one of those quick and dishes that once you make it once, it’ll become your go-to dish! * Drain 2 cans READ 3-Bean Salad over a medium bowl; reserve 3 tablespoons liquid. In a large bowl, combine drained 3-Bean Salad, 1 cup of grape tomatoes halved, 1/2 cup chopped olives, 1 cup Feta cheese, 1 cup of cooked quinoa, and ½ diced bell pepper; toss gently.
