I love valentine’s day merch because I could wear pink/hearts every single day

Glad I saw this in fb yesterday! I had heard of the market but didn’t follow closely to know this months theme and date, made for a nice day out

I am glad I made some time to come see Susan and James. It was a dream come true to hear her sing “I wont say i’m in love” but when she started singing “home” (which is my favorite song) I cried and then they finished with BATB, it was the perfect set. James also sang “friend like me” ofc!

I said I was over blind boxes but I met Nyota and fell in love. She’s introspective and finds joy in the cozy everyday things, and her cat! I related to her and the art just had that cozy, sketch vibe. I genuinely would be happy with any of her figures, but I was ecstatic to get a book and cat one.

I found photos of my first attempt where I didn’t have bread flour and aldi only had bleached AP and omg what a difference haha (the first one still tasted good though!). The one on the left is my second attempt and first real attempt with actual bread flour.

Earlier this year I got a sourdough starter from a coworker and I have made a few different things using the discard (pizza, soda bread, cheddar scones and banana bread) but today I made my first sourdough and it was a success!

~She was a fairy~ ✨🧚‍♀️

I’ve wanted silhouettes for the girlies since forever and Alex surprised me with them today 🥰

Those dang cats finally got me to run

Ok the merch team cooked with these!

Time for my favorite time of year! 🎨

I know season 3 was announced for this year but I need more NOW 😭 that lil dance teaser was too short, book 3 is my favorite 🤧

Bless my angel of a coworker who got this for me because I wouldn’t be back at epic for a while and I was afraid they’d sell out 🥺

Went to the happiest market for the first time and was surprised at some finds!

One of my favorite things is trying to be funny and annoy alex with our calendar

Finally checked Otto’s off our list. Totally worth it

The sunset walk cafe changed ownership again now its la boom and has a turkish menu with macarons and pastries still. We will be back for shakshouka but got a pistachio cookie and latte and both were divine!

You know alex loves me because he will tolerate my Christmas movie must watch every year with our Christmas dinner 😅

Merry cheesemas part 1 tree cheese:

Sometimes I think we project a personality into minnow (in our head she is a fancy cat who loves the finer things in life) but then again, she does love watching regency movies and ballet with me

Officially kicking off holiday vacation mode

Christmas movie marathon night 🥰

She’s so happy it’s sunny today and that I’m here to say hi to her

I couldn’t resist (I also think Alex secretly wanted it)

Time to check out the holiday decorations around WDW

The reason for the season

Had to get the traditional fondue and Gluhwein 🎄

My work Christmas party is the day of the PJO premiere 😭 evil

Also trying out an advent calendar book! I missed yesterday so doubled up today but I truly want to force myself to stick to one a day every day to have the intended effect! Its a cozy little YA romance so cute and fluffy, perfect for Christmas

Late to the punch but we are giving the cheese advent calendar from Aldi another try! (We had it YEARS ago but the cheeses were always boring and basic) This year they seem to have more variety so I am hype! I also wish I had gotten the chocolate and wine as they pair, so next year!

Trying to take advantage of the holiday photo perk

Genuinely loved the Wizarding Paris decorations!

Happy Snoggletog

6 years since we got engaged here! (The patio is closed but were still celebrating at territory lounge like usual)

Early engagement anniversary celebration with bread bowl fondue, winter sangria and a holiday rom com 🥰 (sorry dad 😬 I know bread bowl goes against Bender family swiss fondue tradition)

I did not dress for the occasion but we had a Wonderful visit to Oz

I have problems 😬 I woke up needing those ewoks

*Rafiki voice* “It is time!”

Highly recommend the soup festival at Mrs. Potato (I mean I recommend them overall if you haven’t been, their rosti potatoes are guy fieri approved for a reason). All you can eat soup buffet, including bread (and pao de queijo cheese bread) and toppings bar!

We went to try Coffee for the Soul as we were looking for a lil coffee place before going to TJs and omg it was so charming and everything was delicious! They have multiple locations around the CF area so we will def be back!

We tried the hangar bar christmas overlay and they really upped it this year! We always feel meh about the food but this year they felt more creative!

Holiday tiki bar!

Faire-ly fun day!

Cant believe I got the coveted bearista mug 🤪 (‘tis a joke lol, I just couldn’t resist this at the boba shop)

Seasons greetings

Happy Aldoween 🐈‍⬛

Alex captured nap time and Minnow had joined me 🥰

I’ll admit it, I avoided getting this because carrot hot dog sounded horrible, but i’ll be dammed, it was a very clever and well thought out vegan option

Nice little day in clermont: 1) pistachio coffee from casa nostra (omgggg it had pistachio butter all around the edges it was divine) 2) coffee #2 at Black Rabbit bookstore and had to get a lil book treat- huge coffee menu! 3) obligatory stop at sunshine book co (books not pictured bc theyre gifts)

Guess what soft opened in orlando
