This Valentine’s Day, we decided to sprinkle a little extra magic into our celebrations by heading to Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. It was a day filled with laughter, friendship, and unforgettable memories. Plus, the girls were dressed in the most adorable matching outfits from DreamyThreads.com, also found on Instagram @DreamyThreads. Their coordinating dresses added a special touch to our day, making every photo we snapped even more picture-perfect!
If there’s one thing our family loves, it’s a day at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Thanks to our annual passes, we have the privilege of popping in whenever we want—and this last visit was one for the books! From Buzz Lightyear dresses to intergalactic adventures, Sofia (our little Disney princess) had a day full of magic, and giggles.
Another fantastic evening at Disney Springs! As a Passholder, I get to visit the parks all the time, and I absolutely love how easy it is to swing by Disney Springs after a fun day at the parks. It’s the perfect place to wind down with some shopping, great food, and, of course, a little Disney magic.
Today was a day filled with adventure and excitement as we visited Disney's Animal Kingdom with our daughter Sofia. Despite her initial hesitation about taking photos with Mickey and Minnie, Sofia quickly found herself captivated by the wonders of the park. From thrilling rides to up-close encounters with exotic animals, our trip was nothing short of magical.
Oh, my dear readers, gather ‘round as I regale you with the tale of our recent family trip to the delightful Hunsader Farms! This charming little gem, nestled in the heart of our community, is like stepping into a storybook where every page is filled with laughter, smiles, and a sprinkle of farm magic—especially for our little Sofia!
Hunsader Farms has a rich history that dates back to the early 1900s when the Hunsader family first established this beautiful land. Over the years, it has blossomed into a beloved local attraction, known for its commitment to sustainable farming and community engagement. The sprawling fields are filled with vibrant flowers, fresh produce, and, of course, the iconic red barn that welcomes everyone with open arms.
Beneath the golden Florida sun, with a gentle breeze whispering through the palm trees, lies a slice of paradise known as Anna Maria Island. This idyllic haven, nestled along the Gulf Coast, boasts pristine white sand beaches and crystal-clear waters that rival even the most picturesque postcards. Recently, we embarked on a journey to this enchanting island for a day of sun, sand, and sea – and what a day it was!
As we stepped onto the soft, powdery sand, we were greeted by the sight of azure waters stretching as far as the eye could see. The color of the water was akin to Blue Frost Gatorade, a refreshing and invigorating hue that beckoned us to dive in. With Sofia, our bundle of energy, in tow, we wasted no time in setting up our little oasis on the beach.
Sofia's excitement was palpable as she darted towards the water, her laughter mingling with the rhythmic sound of the waves. Watching her splash and play, it was clear that Anna Maria Island was not just a beach destination; it was a playground for the soul.
But beyond its stunning natural beauty, Anna Maria Island boasts a rich tapestry of history and culture. Here are a few fun facts to enhance your appreciation of this hidden gem:
- Quaint Charm: Despite its popularity, Anna Maria Island has managed to retain its small-town charm. With no high-rise buildings or chain restaurants in sight, the island exudes a laid-back, old Florida vibe that is both nostalgic and welcoming
- Historical Significance: Named after Anna Maria Ceravolo, the daughter of one of the island's early homesteaders, Anna Maria Island has a history dating back to the late 19th century. Its roots as a fishing village are still evident today, with fishing piers and seafood shacks dotting the coastline
- Ecological Diversity: Beyond its beaches, Anna Maria Island is home to diverse ecosystems, including mangrove forests, seagrass beds, and pristine wetlands. These habitats provide sanctuary for a variety of wildlife, from shorebirds to dolphins and manatees.
- Artistic Enclave: Creativity thrives on Anna Maria Island, with galleries, studios, and public art installations scattered throughout the island. Local artists draw inspiration from the island's natural beauty, capturing its essence in vibrant paintings and sculptures.
- Culinary Delights: From beachfront bistros to hole-in-the-wall eateries, Anna Maria Island offers a culinary adventure for every palate. Fresh seafood takes center stage, with grouper sandwiches, shrimp tacos, and key lime pie among the must-try delicacies.
Our day on Anna Maria Island was nothing short of magical. As the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of pink and gold, we knew that this was a place we would return to time and time again. For those seeking a true escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, Anna Maria Island beckons with open arms, ready to welcome you to its tranquil shores.

We all have that handbag that we lose sleep over, and this was mine. Besides a Vert Fizz Birkin 25 with palladium hardware, this Louis Vuitton vintage Murakami Cherry Blossom pochette is it. Thanks to eBay's authenticity guarantee it's not only mine, but I get to rest assured that I have the real deal and not some knock off. Shopping with eBay's authenticity guarantee was simple, and provided first class service to have my bag authenticated in person by a professional before it was shipped out to me. The whole process of getting the bag authenticated by eBay added no more than 2-3 days to the total shipping process.
The shopping process is no different than any other shopping process with eBay, but rather than your handbag or other designer item getting sent directly to you after your payment is processed, it is instead shipped to a professional for authentication services and then carefully documented, packaged in an eBay dustbag, and then shipped out to you.
This bag is so special to me because its been a bag that I've dreamed about owning since it came out in 2003. 20 years that I've wanted this cherry blossom bag and just didn't pull the trigger over silly reasons. Was it too childish, was I too old to have this bag, but I stopped caring about those reasons and figured, it need to do what makes me happy! I also know that when my Sofia is in her teens she will absolutely love this bag! It's just so iconic! This was a major win and I'm so thankful to eBay for giving me a stress free and reliable way to shop for designer items.
When shopping for designer items on eBay, look for the authenticity guarantee logo. You can even filter your search results to only show you sellers and items that are sold with authenticity guarantee through eBay.
Happy Shopping!
We took sort of a family vacation to Mobile, Alabama. I say sort of because we went to support Sofia's older brother during his tournament. We drove there, so it was a total of 8 hours spent in the car to get to Mobile. We stopped by this really awesome gas station called Buc-ees which is a huge one stop shop to get your gas, snacks, food, clothes, Buc-ees merchandise, and even home decor. We enjoyed Buc-ees so much we even stopped by again on our way home from Mobile, Alabama. I you're on a road trip and happen upon a Buc-ees, I would definitely recommend stopping by, its definitely an experience.
What a magical day we had yesterday at Disney World's Magic Kingdom. Sofia was twirling around in her beautiful princess dress and posing for all the photos! We rode on Prince Charming's carousel and went under the sea with the Little Mermaid.
We will always be a Disney family but we have become curious to the other theme parks around Orlando and also by us in the Tampa bay area. We want to go check out Busche Gardens theme park, so I'll keep you posted on that visit when it does happen.
We also want to go back to the Universal parks and check them out again. I loved the Harry Potter areas in the Universal parks. Universal is also expanding and building a Nintendo themed area in their new Universal's Epic Universe that is coming in the next few years.
Our son is now 13 years old and is interested in some of the bigger rides. We are very excited for the new Tron coaster at Magic Kingdom that will be opening on March 7th to the public. I am not a fan of the virtual queue that you need to join on the app, because the window to join is so slim and if you miss it, there is no other way to get on the ride. No standby waiting! We still haven't been able to experience the new Guardians of the Galaxy ride at Epcot because of the virtual queue shenanigans.
Enjoy these photos of Sofia twirling around and smiling in her princess dress! It just melted my heart to see her pose for me when I would take my camera out. My little princess!

What a fun filled day we had today visiting St. Pete's Beach in St. Petersburg, Florida. We are still exploring our new home region here on the Gulf Coast of Florida. We are loving the beaches here and the much slower pace of life. The vibes here are definitely "old Florida" which reminds me of when I first moved to Florida back in the early 2000's.
