Lunch at the Columbia

The Husband and I got the opportunity to slip out for a late lunch the other day and we headed to downtown Celebration to one of our favorite places, The Columbia.

They have the yummiest Cuban food around that really hits the spot!

And the atmosphere is so lovely!

Fyi, the mojitos are to die for! And don't worry I haven't had one since before getting pregnant. But if your able to imbibe I highly recommend them!

Needless to say, I did NOT.

I did have a delicious hot pressed Cuban sandwich with plantain chips though.

Divine! If you've never had one and eat meat it's a must try!

Everything I've had there has been super yummy though!

And to finish the Husband and I split a Dulce de Leche flan topped with toffee crumbles... Mmmmm...

If you're ever nearby in Florida and looking for some authentic cuisine and a lovely leisurely meal this is the place!

Kisses,

K

Things Lately

After all the craziness and health problems last week we decided to take the weekend easy...

We watched the Disney Blog's castle Christmas Lighting ceremony via live stream on Sunday night.

Went grocery shopping and stopped by Jillycakes cupcakes too...

Above are the Apple Pie and Tiramisu flavors that the Husband and I split. Mmmm...

And this park is actually a hidden gem back behind the shopping plaza.

Aaah, Florida Fall...

Lots of sunshine and highs in the 90's (Fahrenheit). People were out paddle boarding even.

And this sweet gentlemen is my adorable nephew! How stinkin' cute is he!?!

Abby did a lot of sunspot napping with a favorite friend.

And I dressed up in my Lilly Pulitzer duds to shop for the Lilly's birthday weekend fun in stores.

It was a great and relaxing weekend!

How was yours?

Kisses,

K

This is Halloween

We had a blast this Halloween despite lots of crazy complications.

My Mom was able to come home from the hospital finally post operation so the family gathered together at her house to celebrate and hand hand out treats.

So naturally the Husband, pup, and I got festive!

This year Abigail was dressed up as Shark dog. She wasn't thrilled with it so after a few photos we took her costume off. She was so cute though!

I dressed as a very pregnant zebra this year and we took photos on the front porch because it was also our bumpie pic day! (A bumpie is the baby bump version of a selfie. Crazy words for a crazy media filled world, lol.)

(P.S., I wore a past season Nadia Tarr dress. It's not maternity but is made of stretch jersey. Comfy and stylish.)

Beware of the shark dog!

I also made sure to wear my past season Boden Zebra shoes to match. My ears are actually a pair of zebra Mickey ears from Animal Kingdom that I just pinned in temporarily to look more like zebra ears.

And the Husband dressed as my keeper.

Which felt oddly appropriate considering that he spends a lot of time caring for me and feeding me lately while pregnant... ;)

Also, doesn't my parents' front porch above look fab!

In between treat distribution and visiting with Mom we had a bevy of ghoulishly good food to eat!

Festive buns.

Sloppy joes and Mac and cheese cupcakes.

A variety of seasonal apples with dips.

Mummy dogs.

Beautiful homemade rice krispy treats that my Mom made prior to her surgery a few days before. (They tasted as good as they looked!)

Candy corn chocolate pretzels that my sister makes, so good!

And treat bags with cards for party favors that my Mom and I made for everyone earlier in the week with a Paper Pumpkin kit for Halloween.

And this cute card is the one Mom made for the Husband and I!

Love it!

Our neighborhood gets up to 8,000 (yes, 8,000!!!) trick or treaters overall and we handed out to over a 1,000 at my parents house in their section of the neighborhood till we ran out and had to shut down for the night... It was insane!

It even took us over a half an hour to drive the less than two miles home from my parents' house to mine because of all the craziness!

By the time we got home the pup, baby bump, and I were pooped and jammied up for some pre bedtime wind down snuggling.

It was a lovely time!

How was your Halloween?

Kisses,

Welcome October

Happy Fall Ya'll!

I'm hoping to get back to blogging again and I have sooo much to share! So much has happened! (New/ First home purchased, baby due in January!) But for now, baby steps...

October started off quietly and lovely.

 

Abby slept in while I unpacked more in our new home.

Then the Husband and I headed over to Disney's Fort Wilderness Lodge for dinner.

 

 

It's one of my favorite places to visit and eat. It just feels magical and calm there.

For dinner I had the Cedar Plank salmon... Sooo good!

All in all it was a lovely laid back day.

Here's to hopefully being able to blog again and to a happy autumn for all!

Kisses,

K
