Macaroons and Memories

We didn't know we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun

In the last two weeks, I've gone back to my hometown for appointments and family events. It is always interesting going back. When I'm at home in O-town, I always feel like I'm missing "back home" and want to return. Then I return and am reminded why we left; there is nothing wrong with where I am from, I just love where I am going!

My sister arranged with her photographer friend to have some family photos taken. My mom has been dying for them so we appeased her. After all, you never know when you'll have the chance again! We color-coordinated our crazy bunch and they will hopefully be great! The photog sent over some sneak peeks after and they look great so we are looking forward to seeing the rest!

Since we live in the theme park capital of the world, we have annual passes to most of the parks around. These definitely come in handy when friends and family visit, but also just for a date night! I renewed our passes for this upcoming year to Disney and my sweet friend Maddie joined me to celebrate! Love having Disney addicts for friends! We visited Epcot and I tried my very first but definitely not last macaroon! Obsessed to say the least!! The one I got was a specialty for the Flower and Garden Festival, raspberry and dark chocolate! Amazing!

My favorite princess and her beast!

I love going to Disney on a random weekday! It is a perk for living in this chaotic town! Hoping to persuade my beau to go while he's home! It never gets old!
While I was home, my mom and I watched my nieces while my sister and her hubby attended a wedding! Spending time with the girls is a must while home, I just soak up my time with them! Plus, it gets me my kid fix! We watched Inside Out which is the most creative movie I've seen out of Disney in quite some time! I highly recommend it!
Macie is such a good little patient! Future MD maybe?
It is always good to see my family and visit but there's just something about my home that I've built with my love that I love to come back to. Luckily, B will be home this week and I will be one happy girl! It is true what they say about distance making the heart grow fonder, I miss him but at the same time, our hellos are the best after his long trips!

Growth, Perspective, and Silence

"Some days, I can conquer the world. Other days, it takes me three hours to convince myself to shower"- the perfect Pinterest quote! This 27th year has been one of growth and reflection. I truly thought looking at 27 year-old people then that by the time I had reached this point that I would be an independent, sexy, confident woman with this spectacular job and a hardworking stud by my side! Some of this came true, but not much! I've got the stud, that's about it! That being said, I came into this year thinking that I knew who I was, where I was heading and that I had a great man to share it all with. One thing that people normally won't tell you is that when your relationship becomes committed and you're around the other person practically 24/7, they begin to see your flaws and, if you're as lucky as I am, they begin to help you become a better person. One thing that anyone who knows us will tell you is that when you meet the beau and I for the first ti...

We Don't Talk About That...

Mental health has never been a "hot topic" or a common dinner conversation, it is usually dusted under the rug and left to fester til another day. Honestly, I'm writing this for my own mental health, rather my sanity. Since this virus took over our lives, being forced to live completely out of the norm has made mental health become a little bit more of a subject but not by much. Being bored and forced to be in the same house almost 24/7 can cause you to focus on things you wouldn't normally think about. This is also true for myself. Up until now, I haven't really discussed with anyone but close friends and family what I have struggled with for a long time. To me, you talk about it and everyone will think you're looney. Well, I'm over it and tired of hiding it so here goes! When I lived in Orlando, I had extremely high anxiety for the first time. I was basically alone full time miles away from my hometown. I tried so desperately to avoid facing what I...

Save the Fave!

Sometimes all you need is a little sparkle and a whole lotta Jesus! Every summer and spring, I get a tad mani obsessed! Glitter, pastels, and accent nails take over from the matte, jewel tones, and dark colors of winter and fall! I love doing my own nails, mainly because I'm a control freak and I hate bubbles, smudges, creases, and any possibility that would cause me to tell the manicurist to redo each flaw. I think they would kill me, haha! I absolutely love sparkles and accent nails! I know this isn't a new trend and people have since moved on to nail ombrees but I'm still doing the accent, surprise surprise I'm not up on the new trends! Why change if I still love it?! One polish that is my summer go-to is this sparkle from Sephora by OPI, "Meet Me at the Disco". It is the perfect pairing to almost every spring/summer shade. Since I am a true Florida girl, spring and summer tend to be one in the same, as are the shades! We only really have three seasons:...
