Five Loves on Friday


Happy Friday, friends!  This fantastic week has flown by in a blink of an eye, but I'm not complaining.  Bring on the weekend!  But first, it's Five Loves time!


One //  R5 Concert

For Christmas Jason and I gifted our girls tickets to see R5 in concert this week!  It was such a FUN family night {rockin'} out!

You may remember a few of R5's members mentioned here in previous posts.  Ross Lynch played "Austin" in one of my family's favorite Disney Channel shows,  Austin & Ally.  We rooted on his brother Riker during the 20th season of Dancing with the Stars.



Two //  Happy Mail!

If you've been following along for a bit you've likely heard me talk about my BBF {Best Bloggy Friend}, Chrissy of Adventures in DIY!  She is incredibly talented, super thoughtful, and shares my love of all things Disney!  She continually sends my family the sweetest surprise care packages which often include items that she's handmade!  Christmas of 2013 she made us an incredible cork monogram, then recently sent us this magical cork MICKEY!  I am adoring its cuteness daily!


There were also neatly wrapped gifts for each of the girls inside this box of surprises!  Little One received one of Chrissy's handmade mouse ear headbands!  It was completely customized with her in mind, featuring a sweet bow in her favorite color and her favorite, My Little Pony!  Disney and MLP together is a dream combo for my little sweetie pie!  Princess received such a darling art piece for her bedroom which goes perfectly with her gold theme!  We adore each of these sweet gifts!  Thanks again for everything, Chrissy!

Chrissy will be opening up an Etsy shop soon!  Meanwhile, you can find her work on Instagram at adventuresindiyshop!



Three  //  My New iPhone Case Wallet

Minnie is my girl and I have a complete weakness for bows and polka dots too, so I couldn't stop swooning over this incredible find on DisneyStore.com last weekend!  This gorgeous iPhone 6 wallet case was originally priced at $24.95 and marked down on clearance at $9.99.  I then used a 25% off code knocking it down to just $7.49! 

 So handy, so adorable, and such a BARGAIN!! *happy sigh* 



Four  //  Disney Trip Report Series


This week I wrapped up another Walt Disney World family vacation in my Trip Report Tuesday blogging series.  It has been such a treat to relive those memories while putting together those trip reports to share with you all!  If you missed this week's post you can find it here, or visit my Disney World Trip Reports page to find direct links to all the recaps from our two most recent Disney World vacations!  Looking forward to sharing more magical Disney details in posts coming your way soon!



Five  //  St. Patrick's Day 2016


My mom is the hostess with the mostess!  She surely raised me to enjoy celebrating life!  So, when my parents invited us over for a dinner of Irish Potato Soup on St. Patrick's Day we accepted instantly!  It was such a beautiful evening together!  I couldn't be more thankful for my family!






Thanks so much for taking the time to pop by my blog today!  Wishing you a beautiful weekend ahead!

  10. I have SO much love for this post! First of all, who can resist ROCKING OUT to some great music?! Secondly, what a FAB BBF to have in your life! Those gifts are perfect!!! And the fact that she sends surprise packages...that is the FUNNEST! I especially love that behind Little One's pic with her MLP ears, you can see the Disney Countdown that Chrissy made for you! It's just perfect! You KNOW I just wish my phone would fit in that perfectly polka dotted Minnie goodness of a phone wallet! It's gorgeous! While I'm sad that the end has come for trip reports of your most recent trip, I am already looking forward to your future Disney Land trip right along with you! And finally, your mama truly IS the hostest with the mostest! Her beautiful daughter follows in her hosting footsteps just perfectly! What a blessing to have a fabulous family so close and truly dear to your heart!
