Friday Favorites 9-1-2023

 




Happy Friday! Today I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some Friday Favorites from the week. 


ENOUGH SAID. The "ber" months have arrived, and they are some of my favorite months of the year! Bring on the sweaters, pumpkins and twinkle lights.



We put up the fall decorations this week and it's brought me plenty of joy! My house also smells like a pumpkin patch thanks to my hand soaps, candles and scent ports. Pumpkin spice is such a cozy scent - I don't think anything else compares. 


The boys got fresh haircuts this week and a clean-cut boy is my absolute favorite. He's all set for preschool starting next week! 



My FAVORITE baby boy turns three months old today! It's so hard to believe, and it's crazy how I can't imagine life without him. Also I absolutely cannot with the scrunchy nose smile. I love it! 


Nothing tastes quite as delicious as that first Starbucks pumpkin drink of the year. I enjoy the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew this time of year when it's still hot outside, but I'll switch to a hot coffee with a pump of pumpkin and a splash of half and half when it gets cooler. 

I used apple butter in two different ways this week: Apple Butter Oatmeal cookies and Apple Butter Ham sliders. Both were delish! Recipes for both are coming soon...😉

Cooler mornings mean a return of walks and scooter rides with my boys. We've had this stroller since 2019 and it chuckles to make me think of the amount of miles we've put on it. Between several vacations and daily walks for about 4 summers, it has to be several hundred, 

I'm off for a much needed pedicure and dinner with a friend. Have the best Friday! XX

The Brisel family is OFF!

I'm so excited to share that our family is celebrating the holiday season at our very favorite place...Disney World! This trip has been a long time coming. We have been saving and planning for over a year, and yesterday we [yes we...Santa doesn't get credit for this one 😉] surprised our boys with a trip to Disney World for their Christmas gift. Disney is truly Dustin and my happy place, so we couldn't be more excited to bring the boys!  While we're gone I plan to blog about our trip, so I'm hoping to share an update tomorrow evening. For some who may not know, I am working my way through the certification process of becoming a Smart Moms Travel Agent, which is a travel company that specializes in trips to Disney World. I'm hopeful that it might turn into a fun hobby that lets me share a little bit of my Disney knowledge with other families. 😊 I thought blogging our trip would be a fun resource to share with future clients! For a little recap of today... We wer...

Disney World: Day 5 Recap

Rest days are a necessity for any Disney vacation, no matter the length of your trip. 😉 We have been pushing it and hoofing it all over Disney World, so we were overdue! Our plans today included a character breakfast with Minnie and her friends, spending time at the pool, and a character dinner at 1900 Park Fare.  Both boys slept in until 7:00 which was amazing! We got dressed and ready and began our way towards Cape May Cafe located at The Beach Club Resort. We took the Skyliner from our resort to the International Gateway at Epcot. From there, we had about a 5 minute walk to our restaurant. Super easy!  This character meal is one of the lesser known options for character dining. We've done character dining at Topolino's Terrace (amazing!), Tusker House and Chef Mickey's, so we were excited to try something different. Minnie, Daisy, Donald and Goofy are all dressed in their beach attire, and make their way around the restaurant several times. You're also able to do a ...

Jackson Nicholas is TWO!

Jackson Nicholas is officially TWO years old today!  He's been so fun lately, and definitely showing off his two-ness. 😉 He's got a LOT to say.  He loves his big brother and wants to do anything and everything that he does.  He loves his family and talks about them all day long. He loves Mickey Mouse and can't wait for his next trip to the castle.  He loves to play outside! We'll be living in the backyard this summer.  He loves to EAT! This has been his biggest area of growth from this time last year. At his first birthday party, he was just able to eat single-ingredient foods due to his allergies - we just didn't know what was safe for him. Yesterday he was able to have a cupcake..with frosting!  Such a win!  We love him and his silly little personality. We can't wait to celebrate him today!
