Disney Magic and Real Marriage: Keeping Love Alive

RefreshHerLeave a comment

Cinderella and Prince Charming, Snow White and Prince, Ariel and Eric, Beauty and the Beast…we are familiar with these Disney couples, and you know what? Disney is romantic! My husband is naturally a romantic at heart, and he seems to always find the sweetest places/opportunities to demonstrate his love to me. But Disneyworld was a really easy place to do that, considering all the love stories in their movies and all the great settings! Here are a some pics from our trip last week that are examples of how easy it is to have those love embers fanned!

The Festival of Arts was going on and we got to “jump into” this painting!

Disney Deliciousness

How kind the Lord is to allow our D&D ministry to start back up two weekends ago. We returned to a church in Florida for a meeting. It was a great time with these precious people!

After it ended, we had the fun of meeting our daughter, Whitney and her husband, Paul at Disney World! It had been 40 years since we were there, and that was as sponsors for a school trip, so it wasn’t really a true experience of the parks. Paul and Whitney are pro’s, so she planned our trip and we got to go along for the ride (pun intended!).

Since Monday is normally recipe day here on my blog, I’m going to share some of the amazing food we ate while there. The blessing is that though we took in some calories, we walked an average of six to eight miles each day, so we got in plenty of exercise!

We didn’t just eat inside the parks; we went to the different resorts to enjoy their restaurants as well. That was one of the blessings of traveling Disney with seasoned veterans!

Here are the some of the delicious things we enjoyed and the place where we ate it…

Recently on Facebook I read ~

I‘m not gonna lie and say that working a full time job from home and doing full time virtual kindergarten is easy. It’s not been a rose colored glasses world for us. In fact, it’s been hard on ALL of us. And at least 2 of us have shed tears more than once in the last 2.5 weeks (and I’m sure there are more to come). I have felt like a failure as a wife, mom, daughter, teacher, friend, and coworker.#ButGod

Hearty Turkey Sloppy Joe’s

RefreshHerLeave a comment

About two weeks ago, I posted a little video on Instagram of lunch being made. I fixed a Turkey Sloppy Joe that day. It’s such a great midday meal! I found this healthy and hearty Sloppy Joe recipe on the Weight Watchers site. It makes a lot, so I know I have many servings ready! This is great for fixing for a group, or just your family’s weekly lunchtime. Don’t let “Weight Watchers” make you leery! This is simply lower in calories because it’s made with ground turkey. The flavors are incredible!
