Things I'm excited for...

The change in seasons always fills me with anticipation of the things to come. Here's a few things that I am excited for...

This is one of my very favorite things in the world. I love to turn off all the lights in the house and relax in front of the Christmas tree with a seasonal movie. 


Last year I was pregnant (AKA tired) during Christmas, so I don't feel like I did my Christmas baking justice.  But on the flip side, I was able to enjoy my Christmas cookies with a little less guilt about the calories last year. 😉


It is *almost* time for the heated blanket to be put on the bed. My husband HATES a heated blanket, so we have a twin sized one that is restricted to my side. I absolutely love to preheat the blanket while I get ready for bed and crawl into a cozy bed. 


Awww. Here's my little family at Christmas last year. Baby Jack was about 15 weeks along in my belly! I can't wait to add one more to the picture this year. 


But I guess before Christmas hits, we have to celebrate Halloween. 😉 Sammy plans to be Spiderman this year and I'm excited for a night of Trick-or-Treating with our friends! Baby Jack will be a skunk and I cannot wait to put him in his outfit. Last year Sammy was a pumpkin - and we grew every single one of the pumpkins on our porch! 

That's all for today - see you back here tomorrow!

Friday Favorites [10-4-2024]

Happy, HAPPY Friday!  I hate to even say it outloud, but Jack slept through the night two nights in a row this week. He's been getting so many teeth - all at the same time for about three weeks. This led to lots of broken nights of sleep for our boy. It is AMAZING how much better I feel getting a full night of sleep. Haha.  Needless to say, I'm feeling extra perky this Friday.  I'm linking up with Andrea  and  Erika  to share a few favorites from my week. 😊 Sammy's flag football team is the Chiefs, and so obviously his favorite dog supporter needed to get a matching outfit. Look at Sammy's red cheeks! We're ready for fall weather to arrive in full force over here. Haha.  This week was National Night Out in our town, and Dustin helped work it. I stopped by with the boys, and Jack was genuinely surprised to see so many people who looked like his daddy. He got so excited when he saw the first police car, but was disappointed his daddy wasn't inside. 😉 D...

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 ...
