  • New Kitchen Backsplash

    James just installed our new backsplash and I love it!

    Before

    The old backsplash wasn’t much to look at as it was just a single row of tiles, some of which fell off during transport!

    We decided to play it safe and went with a subway tile with an irregular edge and different shades of white.

    Here’s the exact tile we used, and we found it at aww Lowes, paired with the light gray grout.

    What do you think? Have you installed a tile backsplash before?

  • Spider-Man

    Spider-Man I know him!! 🕸️


    I highly recommend getting a costume and letting your kid live out their Spidey dreams! When he asked me for this costume last week I said No because it’s too early for Halloween, then he told me his idea to transform into Miles Morales.. “you know because we have the same name” 🤣 so ofcourse I was onboard!!

    Miles had me following him all over the city snapping pics and making people smile. 😁

    Have you seen the new movie yet Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse? 🕷️

  • Spring break style

    Check out the Everlasting Comfort Beach Blanket 😎

    I honestly don’t know how we ever beached without it.. More like a sheet material, the beach blanket is thin and made of microfiber polyester making it Sandproof & Waterproof. Not even 5 minutes after we setup Harper spilled her purple slushee all over it 🤣 but no problem… no stain or wet spot! 🙌 🏖

    Where would you take your blanket? The beach, park, camping, hikes, sporting events, concerts, picnics? The possibilities are endless 😏

  • Ice Cream Taco Recipe

    Cinco de Mayo might be over, but you can still make these Ice Cream Tacos for Fiesta Friday 🥳 🌮

    The waffle bowl taco shells were so easy to do with my Dash Mini Waffle Maker and ice cream combinations are endless 😋

    To start make the waffle bowl like normal, I used pancake mix. Then stuff with your favorite ice cream, any flavor will do. Next you want to top it all off with the melted chocolate of your choice and decorate with nuts or sprinkles. Let everything cool in the freezer for 30 mins and then enjoy!

  • Copycat Vanilla bean Frappuccino

    My kids love Starbucks Frappuccinos specifically the vanilla bean! When I don’t want to run out I make these and everyone always loves them!

    Here is my copycat recipe that’s really budget friendly since the mix can make 31 drinks! I buy one canister and it lasts all summer!

    1/4 cup frappe mix

    3 ounces of milk or water

    Ice

    Whip cream

    I like to add a little cinnamon but that’s totally optional.

    Blend and enjoy!

    Switch it up and try Orange Creamsicle

    Make everything the same except replace the water for Orange juice!

    Another favorite is S’mores

    Make everything the same, then add chocolate syrup, top with marshmallows and Carmel sauce!

    I love Strawberry

    Make everything the same just add 1/2 cup of strawberries to blend and you’ve got a fruity sweet treat!

  • The Citrus Attraction at Boyett’s Grove

    It all started because Liam wanted to go mini golfing. I hoped on Groupon and found not only Mini golf, but a Petting Zoo, Ice Cream, Antique Shoppe, and Citrus Store, and Dinosaur cave all in one! The price was good too, the Groupon is $49.95 for 6 people for all the stuff, Perfect price, done!

    The reviews were interesting, something like “I’ve never seen anything like it!” Or “Your eyes won’t know where to look first” They we’re all very intriguing and positive!

    The art work is nothing we’ve ever seen before, with 3D glasses the paint pops off the wall.

    There is an entire section of taxidermy animals that the boys found fascinating. The nice part was we had the place to ourselves, and we didn’t really have anyone hovering saying don’t touch that or anything. You are free to roam as you please.

    The kids fell in love with a few of the animals, this camel is a sweet heart and followed us all over eating almost an entire loaf of bread.

    They also have this cool dinosaur cave exhibit that we all enjoyed

    It was fun to see such a variety of animals and all the cages and habitats looked clean and well cared for! Off the top of my head I remember zebras, monkey, goats, alligator, guinea pigs, mini horse, donkey, llamas, alpacas, tortoise, and big birds like emu.

    I didn’t get a shot of the mini golf, but it’s inside and covered which is great from the heat and sun, but the building where it is ended up being too dusty for my allergies and really bothered me. The kids loved the course, it was challenging but still fun!
