I love to run. I believe one of the reasons is because it means I can eat large amounts of pasta before a big race without feeling guilty. I know there is some mixed information out there about whether or not “carb loading” actually works, but I’ve found that it is good for me. Pasta […]
Book review: Mother Knows Best
I have been slowly but surely making my way through this villains series by Serena Valentino. I really enjoyed the first two (Fairest of All and Beast Within) and then was not a fan of the third one (Poor Unfortunate Soul). I read Mistress of all Evil directly before reading this one, and I’m glad […]
Wine Bar George brunch
When I first heard about the new Wine Bar George brunch, I knew I wanted to try and squeeze it in during a trip! Since it’s only on the weekends, we scheduled it for Saturday morning after the half marathon in January. We had a group of 5 of us going to try it out! […]
Onward review + giveaway!
I was fortunate enough to be able to see a preview screening of Pixar’s new film, Onward, on Saturday. It opens this Friday and I highly recommend you go see it if you get the chance! It’s a great Pixar original film. It’s funny, all sorts of nerdy, but also heartfelt and emotional. I was […]
Lunch at Liberty Tree Tavern
On a past trip we got around to trying lunch at Liberty Tree Tavern! We’d done the dinner here once before, which is a fun family style meal with food similar to Thanksgiving dinner. My parents are really into colonial style places lately, so I knew it would be a good place to take them. […]
Frozen 2 review
When I shared that I had seen Frozen 2, the first question everyone asked me is simply “How was it?” Obviously that’s a pretty involved question but I’ll start this review by saying that my answer to that question has been “It wasn’t as good as the first one, but it was an enjoyable movie.” […]
Dinner at Chefs de France
While on a short trip last month, I made a few last minute dining reservations (about a month ahead of time). One of the places we decided to have dinner was at Chefs de France in Epcot. I hadn’t eaten here since my honeymoon (in 2011) so I was interested in trying it again! Things […]
Grand Floridian Cafe breakfast review
I’ve eaten dinner at the Grand Floridian Cafe before, but this was the first time I got to experience breakfast. Located in the Grand Floridian resort, this is an easy trip from Magic Kingdom. In our case we started our day with breakfast here before hopping on the monorail to go to the parks. The […]
What to expect at City Works in Disney Springs
Disney Springs has seen many new restaurants open lately, with more still to come – but one that I am particularly excited about is City Works Eatery & Pour House! They’re going to have fantastic food and beer, and I happen to know that because we have a City Works right in the town where […]
What dinner is like at the NEW Lamplight Lounge
While I don’t get to spend as much time in Disneyland as I do in Disney World, I certainly try to take advantage of the time that I do have there! When we went for a quick weekend trip the weekend of Galaxy’s Edge opening, I knew there were a few restaurants I needed to […]
