Weekend flashback

Hey y'all.  It's humpday and I am just getting around to posting about the weekend.  Am I running late...or just ready for the next weekend? :)

Friday night we had a soccer team dinner.  No parents, just coaches and players.  The girls are so excited for these nights.  They put so much effort into looking their best and are so proud to be treated like "big kids" for the night.  James and I have been playing soccer together for 25 years and we still talk about some of our favorite off the field moments like this.  We hope to make the same impact of the girls and have them still love the game and each other for years to come.






Saturday we had a great morning game and you could really feel the girls were still on a high note from the team dinner.  Proud coaching moment for sure.

After soccer we had racing where I cheered on Payton and my Dad to podium finishes and we ended the weekend with my niece having a wakeboard competition in Orlando.  


 
This week is off and rolling.  Our weather has been perfection.  I hit up the Sephora VIB sale last week and although I didn't try anything new, I got some good deals while the special was going on.  

Hope you're off to a great week....we are halfway to the weekend. :)

Vacation at Disney's Fort Wilderness

Hey friends!  Can you believe summer is almost here?  We took our nieces and nephews on a little weekend getaway and of course, auntie got lots and lots of pictures.  This is our second time here and we were excited to stay in one of the renovated cabins.  The main difference was updated furniture and some kitchen and bathroom spruce-ups...and a big, flat screen tv in the family room.  
There are lots of pictures here so if you aren't even thinking of summer vaca ideas in Florida, sign off now before the blitz begins.  :) 


A golf cart is a must.  Reserve in advance, they sell out quick!

The grounds are so pretty 
 

 


Uncle Simon taught the kids shuffleboard

 

We brought lots of food and had some great family meals without having to rush to get all 8 of us out on time

They have a private beach plus boat rentals and rides to the Magic Kingdom

 

 

 
There you go!  Our little weekend summed up at a glance.  The kids really have the best time here. There is so much for them to do and there are very few things you have to pay for once you are on site.  We used my sister's golf cart so we had enough room for all of us to cruise around together.

There are tent sites and nice spots for RVs.  There is also a more traditional hotel on site but it isn't big enough to sleep all of us so the cabins really work perfectly.  You can bring bicycles, kayaks, tennis equipment, soccer balls...you name it.  There are lots of open spaces to play and there are events going on all day long.

For even more fun, there is a free boat ride to Magic Kingdom so if hitting the parks is on the agenda, you don't have to worry about parking.

Currently pinning

Spring cleaning is in full effect round these parts.  I have tossed and donated so much stuff the last month and it feels so good.  My husband also completely organized and cleaned the garage, my car catch-all.
We want to get new family room furniture and also have lighting updates on the list but I haven't quite braved those big projects yet.
I've found some fresh pins to give me a little summer decor inspiration....
I am ready for a little BBQ action.  Mosquitos are pretty bad in Florida and I found this little home DIY to try and fight those blood suckers off. 


Have you seen the naked cakes?  These are seriously the cutest!  I have got to get my baking mojo back and try one of these beauties.  


This natural/rustic look has caught my eye lately.  I love the mix of natural materials and classics.


I really want to add some color to our main living areas and this is some good inspiration for mixing patterns and colors.


Ahhhhh.....this is so classic.  Not realistic for where we live but oh, so pretty.

Hope y'all are off to a great week.  We have had the best weather lately and it's had everyone in a good mood.  Summer has poked its head out several times already so I know the extreme heat is near but we are soaking up these little cool fronts while we can.
