Friday Favorites 10-27-2023

Happy Friday! It's the LAST Friday in October which absolutely baffles me. I can't believe next week will be November! I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some Friday Favorites. 


I have to share my new favorite family photo. Everyone is looking at the camera - including baby Jack! This was taken at a family wedding last weekend. We had a great time!


I'm certain Jack will hate this picture when he gets older. Haha! Obviously we had to put him in a pumpkin for his first pumpkin carving. 😉


Sammy got a full Broncos football uniform for one of his birthday presents and he absolutely loves it. In fact, he loves it so much that it may be his Halloween costume.


Look at these sweet brother smiles! Always a favorite of mine.


Another favorite is a matching PJ moment. Every night Sammy will run into Jack's nursery following his bath to see if they can wear coordinating pajamas. I know this time that they can match is fleeting, so I am fully embracing it. 


Pumpkin sausage pasta for dinner is a favorite at our house! It's one of those great meals that you can make in (mostly) one pan on the stovetop. So good! 


Last one for this week...look at those leaves! I was nursing Jack and admiring the view. The leaves in Iowa seem to be at peak this week, and are all starting to fall. I can picture some leaf jumping in our future. 😉

Have a great weekend! I'm off today for Sammy's five year old well-child visit, and I'm thrilled to have the day to spend with my boys. See you back here on Monday! XX

      It may be my favorite pumpkin we've ever carved. ;)

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!
