Hi friends! Happy Friday! How was your week? I hope it was amazing. Ours started in Orlando and ended in The Tus with a sick pilot and me moving around lol. This weekend I'm looking forward to the symphony, time with friends, a hike, and a trip to Phoenix for Liv's first dance competition of the season.
(Soup season! I just throw a ton of veggies, broth, herbs and beans into the instant pot and then top with lemon juice and avocado)
I hope you have a nice weekend in advance too!
Disney World Adventures:
Disney was perfection, as usual. We arrived late Friday night and slept in a bit before heading to the Magic Kingdom on Saturday. We spent the day doing all the rides and had lunch at our guest's. This is one of our staples, but the food was especially amazing on this trip.
(I also had the GF rolls and French onion soup they made without the croutons)
I mentioned to the server that I was the gf - she asked if it was on the allergy chart and I said I'm not allergic but I avoid it for health reasons - and she brought so many gluten free treats !!
I have to admit it We were at a loss for food on our last Disney Cruiseand the food in the parks this time was Wayyyy. Everything was fresh and delicious, and it was super easy to find gluten-free, protein-free, and veggie options among the usual cascade of Disney popcorn and sweet treats. 😉
We rolled into the park at 11 and had a long leisurely lunch but still managed to do 15 rides and close the park.
It's our first time on Tron and it was so much fun.
It rained on Sunday and they predicted thunderstorms during the day.
We wore ponchos (always buy on Amazon; they're like $15 at the parks), and I brought shoe poncho, who ended up saving the day !! We were totally dry and no one had a soggy leg. 😉
The good news is that the rain slowed down, there were no thunderstorms, and we were able to do all the rides and attractions. I have a weird fear of dinosaurs - I think it's because they were real at one point, but they really freak me out - and my family convinced me to conquer my fear and go on a dinosaur ride.
It went really well lol.
Avatar rides were much needed palate cleansers - the passage flight is epic every time.
We saw the Lion shows (so good) and had lunch at Satu'li Cantina.
(Chicken, sweet potatoes, slaw and chimichurri sauce)
We ended our evening at the Disney Springs and woke up early for our Monday morning flight!
It was a quick trip, but it was a blast and the perfect way to celebrate Liv's 13th birthday.
Here are some fave finds from the week:

Reading this book and feeling inspired.
When unhappiness is a soul that cries for nourishment.
My friend Julie mentioned the show Younger And today, and I just discovered it and fell in love with it last week. It came on my netflix "I recommend for you" and I had no idea it was an older show - I thought it was brand new. I thought to myself, "Wow, between this and Hugh Jackman, Sutton Foster is really having a moment right now." It's witty, fun, romantic, and I enjoyed it while walking my walk.
Fitness, health, life and good food:
New toothpaste! I followed dr. B and dr. Stop On Instagram for a while, so I was excited to try their brand. It's *very* sweet, but I love the ingredients and it seems to do a good job. If you're looking for a cleaner toothpaste option, check it out! P tried it last night and loves it.
I ordered a case of this hydrogen water and while the taste is amazing, the shipping was horrible. It took forever to ship and half the cans were dented, so I have mixed feelings about it.
SANED CHOCOLATE PUDDING ... omggggg
Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today! Have an amazing weekend and I'll see you soon!
xoxo
