Decade by Decade Music: 1970s

After working my way through the 40s, 50, and 60s, we have now arrived at the 70s. Time of the Brady Bunch, bootleg jeans, platform shoes, and some of the best music ever! I'm only a little psyched that this day has arrived. Now, there is the question of how I will be able to keep my list to 10… To have a look back at the other posts I've written in this series, check out these posts written earlier...

Planning A Disney Vacation – Booking The Hotel

What Disney is best known for – the castle! Recently, as I began a month long journey into Disney planning, I became aware of what a headache it can be. I've learned a lot … and I have a lot more to learn before my husband and I travel there in only a few...

Harry Connick, Jr. – That Would Be Me Review

After coming off of a 60s music high (Is anyone looking forward to the 70s? *squee!*), I've jumped straight into Harry Connick Jr.'s new album That Would Be Me. I have to admit I wasn't too thrilled to be reviewing this album. I mean my first thought was … Isn't Harry Connick Jr. just another Michael Bublé type artist with jazz style covers? Surprisingly, while the new album definitely has...

Warm Drinks For Cold Weather

Now that fall is upon us, it's time for warm drinks. The following are some of my favorites. :) 1. Let's start with French hot chocolate. If you've spent your whole life drinking Swiss Miss, you've been missing out. When Justin and I went to France last...

Decade By Decade Music: 1960s

While the 40s were fun because of the connection to my wedding, I must admit I wasn't too thrilled to list favorites from the 50s. Now that I'm in the 60s though, I'm pretty thrilled. This was the era my parents grew up during, so I've heard a lot of this music over the years… I especially remember hearing it around Christmas time when my mom would pull out old records of, for example, The Jackson...

All of the Things! + Wordless Wednesday

Charleston – September 2015 Listening to: I have John Cougar Mellencamp "Authority Song" stuck in my head. (I blame Pandora.) Maggie has been playing Steve Perry's "Oh Sherrie" every time she gets in my car, but at least it's better than her second choice...

Disney MagicBands

Guys (and gals), planning a trip to Disney World is complicated. I remember way back when you could go get your ticket at the gate, rush to the restaurants to make reservations (Cinderella's Castle FTW!), and stand in line for hours waiting to ride the most...

Autumn Edition: Movie Monday!

Over the past few weeks I've had the pleasure of getting to see some awesome and not-so-awesome movies. It's been fun and it helps me to feel a little more in the loop when discussions of pop culture come up among Justin's and my friend group. The following are the 3 movies I've seen most recently, my review, and whether or not I recommend them… The Intern When I saw a preview for The Intern,...

Cast Iron Recipes & Tips

One of my husband's favorite cooking methods involves using cast iron pans. He especially loves the flavor that cast iron pans give to the food he makes, and who can blame him? Everything–literally, everything–tastes better when cooked in a cast iron pan. And...

Book Review x 3 + GoodReads

I love you all and I love my decade-by-decade music posts. They have been so much fun to do so far, but my poor planning has made today a book review day. All the better, because I've only read like … 3 books in the last 2 weeks! ;) Anyway, I decided to...
