I’m going to tell you right now that every donut you’ve ever had in your life was terrible. I know this because Five Daughters Bakery in Nashville, Tennessee has 100 layer donuts. These are the best donuts in Nashville. 100 layers of ooey gooey, buttery sweet, thick and luscious donuts that vanish with a glance. Donuts that make you...
Cinderella's Royal Table Restaurant is actually inside Cinderella’s castle! Instead of walking underneath the castle and out the other side, you are beckoned into the inner sanctum where the servants pull out the red carpet, literally. You’re immediately whisked into the Royal Throne room where you are presented before Cinderella. Of course you get to meet and talk with...
Our favorite thing to do when we visit any beach, anywhere in the world, is to go seashell hunting. We love bringing them home from the beach, filling up a special bottle exclusively for each destination and placing them on display to remind us how much fun we had sifting through the sand for the biggest, most colorful and...
It’s no secret we love Halloween. It was my Grandmother’s favorite holiday, and she passed on her love for it to me. Our family copied her idea for a black Halloween tree with eyeballs for ornaments, a papier-mâché undead bride sits on our mantle, we’ve already made festive cupcakes with blood spilling out of them, and we have spiderwebs completely...
One does not simply go to Atlanta and skip the Varsity. The Varsity is an icon, a celebration, a landmark and an institution. It also serves up some boiled hot dogs, chili and their trademark orange drink to boot. And while maybe that might not sound like much, the Varsity is Atlanta defined. For as long as Gabriel can...
When we see the name Wyndham slapped on a hotel, we are slightly weary of what will be waiting for us on the other end. Ages ago, we attended a Wyndham timeshare presentation, sucked in by the promise of a free stay. Nothing in life is free, and we paid a dear price for that presentation. The sales person...

Two years ago we celebrated our first Halloween at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party in Orlando, Florida! Like every other girl in 2014 and 2015, our daughter was 4 years old, and absolutely obsessed with Elsa. She demanded that I be Anna, and we had several princess dresses we chose from for the baby. Our son was just...
When Walt Disney World opened up the new Fantasyland in Magic Kingdom, complete with the Beast’s castle at the top of a hill overlooking Belle’s quaint village below, they ingeniously included Gaston’s Tavern. A manly establishment fitted with huge leather chairs, bear skins and deer heads covering the walls, and meats on the menu. It is the epitome of...
It’s amazing how traveling to new places truly broadens your horizons, and expands your knowledge. Not just of worldly events but geographical ones as well. We loved spending a month in Japan traveling from Hiroshima to Kyoto to Tokyo. While we are not suggesting, by any means, that visiting the Japan Pavilion at Walt Disney World compares to visiting...
