Jan 20 Our Lego Collection

Household, Randomness

Prior to meeting my husband, I really didn't know much about the development of Legos today. I remember the boxes of Legos as a kid that you just built what you wanted, but I was not exposed to the Lego sets like Star Wars, Harry Potter, Back to the Future, etc. Then I met Brad. He already had tons of Star Wars Legos. Then I started becoming more and more involved. It started small. I would find a set on clearance at Walmart and purchase it. Or I would find a small set on vacation. Then what truly got me, the Disney Princess Line! So below are some of our sets that we have already put together. We have many, many boxes still to assemble, but this is a view into our completed sets right now!

Our Gender Reveals

Jan 18 Our Gender Reveals

Crafts, Randomness

I really wanted to have a gender reveal party for our family and friends to announce the gender of our baby. However, my mom and I were going to Disney in January, and I wanted to know before our trip. This did not line up with my 20 week appointment. Then with the holidays, it was impossible to have a party after finding out at 16 weeks. Therefore, we came up with different ways to tell our families over the holidays. Check out each way below!

Our Pregnancy Reveal!

Dec 21 Our Pregnancy Reveal!

My husband and I found out a week before he was going out of town that we were pregnant. Based on everything I knew at the time, I was approximately 5 weeks pregnant. He was going to Hawaii for work for 3ish weeks. Since this is our first pregnancy, we wanted to wait and tell family after my first doctor's appointment. I couldn't get into the doctor until I was around 8 weeks. So we decided to tell everyone when my husband got back.

Pieology Review

Sep 15 Pieology Review

As you will be able to tell in one of the pictures below, our first visit to Pieology was a few months ago. However, we went back recently to try it again, get a few more pictures, and taste their "breadsticks" (more on the quotations to come). I will say, our second experience was very similar to our first. So my review will be based on both, but I will specify if there were any differences as I go.

Hot Dogin Review

Aug 9 Hot Dogin Review

Hot Dogin is a somewhat new restaurant in Madison, AL. I say somewhat new because it was originally opened as a food cart across the street. They did have an open space inside of a building with seating and such, but you would order your food outside at the food cart. We noticed that they finally opened a full service restaurant inside one of the shopping centers around town, so we decided to give it a try.

Aug 2 Our Netflix Shows During Summer TV Break

During the summer there tends to be nothing on TV. Sometimes this can be nice, but some nights can be pretty boring with nothing to watch. Below are a few of the shows we are watching on Netflix this summer:

Bravo! Cucina Italiana Dinner Review

Jul 7 Bravo! Cucina Italiana Dinner Review

As you have possibly read in one of my previous posts, Brad and I try to visit a new restaurant once a week. This hasn't happened a lot lately just due to our schedules, but last month we did get to visit a new restaurant at our outdoor mall. It is called Bravo Italian. It has been here for a few months now, we wanted to let the newness wear off a bit before giving it a try. Bravo was so crowded, at first, a reservations was required to eat there during lunch if you wanted to avoid a long wait.

Our Favorite Binge Watching TV Shows

Jun 14 Our Favorite Binge Watching TV Shows

We love to binge watch TV, especially during the summer when there is so little on live. Every now and then we will even binge watch during the rest of the year if we hear about a really good show that we want to start. We have a subscription to Netflix. It is only $7.99 a month, but we definitely get our use out of it. We use Netflix for most of our binge watching. We have also used the free trial of Hulu Plus whenever we wanted to catch up on a current season of a show, but that has only happened once. Below are some of our favorite shows that we have binged watched.

Iced Coffee Rankings

Jun 9 Iced Coffee Rankings

Brad and I have really been into drinking iced coffee lately. It actually started about a year and a half ago. We were in Atlanta at the Chick-fil-a pregame pep rally prior to the Ole Miss vs. Boise State game. Chick-fil-a was giving away free samples of their new iced coffee. We tried it, and we were amazed. I always hated the idea of cold coffee, but this was great. We were given coupons for a free iced coffee, and when we used them, we were really disappointed. I think they just were not trained in stores on how to make them. We gave them another shot about 8 months ago. They were still just ok. Over the past few months, we have been on the search for the best iced coffees. Below are my rankings so far!

On our most recent trip to Disney World, I wanted to paint my nails in a Disney fashion. I found some different ideas from Pinterest, but I was unsuccessful in recreating them the same way. My mom and I improvised and below are the results!

So while shopping for our cousin's wedding, I found the cutest little mini-utensils for baking. I loved them so much, I decided to make a small gift basket for baking for her shower. The 'basket' is a stainless steel mixing bowl. We purchased one of each utensil in different colors of course. Then we topped it off with measuring cups! Super cute and easy wedding gift!

Apr 8 Getting a Rabbit Out of Your Garage

Randomness, Household

Unfortunately this morning I was welcomed by a furry creature as I tried to leave for work. I opened our garage door and noticed a little animal hiding under our toolbox. My first thought was this is a huge rat. I closed our door and began hitting our door to try and scare this animal off. I opened the door back up to be greeted b

Walmart Grocery Pickup Service Review

Mar 17 Walmart Grocery Pickup Service Review

Household, Randomness

Currently, our local Neighborhood Walmart is testing a new service. This service allows you to order your groceries online, select a pickup date, arrive, and a Walmart employee will deliver and load them in your car for you. We tested this service late February for our March monthly grocery visit.

Feb 24 Subzero Review

As I have mentioned in a previous post, some weeks Brad and I take turns picking a new restaurant to try and we do not tell each other the restaurant until we arrive. Last Friday we tried a local Italian restaurant. After dinner, I surprised Brad by taking him to another new place, Subzero. We have passed by this ice cream/yogurt shop many times, but honestly, we assumed it was your stereotypical frozen yogurt shop. I did some research on it. It actually is more of an experience than just a fix some yogurt and add some toppings place.
