What a time to be alive y’all! I mean, we actually might get to enjoy the entirety of the 2021 Flower & Garden Festival at Epcot this year! Last year got cut short because of Ms. Rona and we didn’t even get our Orange Bird Passholder magnet. It was a truly devastating time. Luckily, we know more about covid this year than we did last and can enjoy our outside time at Disney World. The Flower & Garden Festival runs from March 3rd – July 5th! 2021 Flower & Garden Festival Food I know, the moment we’ve all been waiting for, the most awaited food item of festival season, Violet…

Bonnet Creek Disney World Weekend Trip
This weekend Michael and I had the most magical getaway at Bonnet Creek. For Christmas, Michael’s big gift to me was a weekend retreat on Disney Property. While we are passholders we don’t typically stay on property. (Actually, I think we’ve only done it maybe twice since becoming passholders). Since it’s not something we typically do at Disney, it was of course extra magical. Here’s a look at our weekend getaway at Bonnet Creek.

Vanessa’s Coffee Shop – Best in Orlando
Y’all, what a trip Vanessa’s Coffee and I have had. Let’s throw it back to 2020. Me and my blogger friend, Kelly, were supposed to meet up at Vanessa’s Coffee Shop back in March. Right before Covid hit. For whatever reason (probably not meeting some code requirements) it had opened and closed very quickly. So as I pulled up to the shop right before Kelly, I was greeted with a “closed” sign. We ended up meeting at a nearby Panera for coffee instead. Fast forward to a few weeks ago and I’m tapping through Insta stories. All of a sudden my other local blogger pops up tagging Vanessa’s Coffee Shop.…

New Sweet Treats Donuts & Me in Avalon Park
For what feels like years, I’ve watched the old Starbucks in Avalon Park be transformed into a new doughnut shop called Donuts & Me. When I say it’s felt like years, I do mean that. It’s probably been at least a year since the branding on the outside of the store was added until it opened. With Covid-19 hitting just after it’s grand opening, I hadn’t been able to check it out…until now! I’m happy to report that it is finally re-open. Here’s all you need to know about Avalon Parks one and only craft doughnut shop. Donuts & Me Craft Doughnuts I was worried when I saw a few…

Galentines Day Brunch Locations in Orlando
One of my favorite things to do is grabbing brunch with my girls. It doesn’t matter the day or the occasion, I love doing it. It feels so classy and “adult like”. Even if I may not be “living my best life”, in that moment, at that brunch date, I feel like I am. This is why a Galentines Day brunch is so fitting. Instead of a galentine’s gift you can take your girls out to brunch. So today I’m sharing some of my favorite brunch locations in and around Orlando for you to check out with your girls not just in February, but anytime of the year. My Favorite…

West Palm Beach GreenMarket
I was hoping to have gone to the West Palm GreenMartket much sooner than this past weekend. With rain and so many weddings though, this past Saturday was the first and only time I was able to attend the City of West Palm Beach GreenMarket this season. I’d highly recommend going, but seeing as this Saturday is the last one, you might have to wait until next GreenMarket season to go. What is the West Palm GreenMarket? The GreenMarket is an enormous farmers market that runs every Saturday in West Palm Beach from October to April. Don’t go thinking the GreenMarket is your typical farmers market though. With over 90…

Craft & Common Coffee
For the longest time I would drive home from work and pass construction of this cute little brick faced wall on Robinson Street in downtown Orlando. “Craft & Common – Opening Soon!” said the signs that went up as I continued to drive by that spot night after night. Of course, I had to look up what this “Craft & Common” place was. They had the cutest freaking website in the world (even though, at the time, their website was also “under construction”). Even with limited information on their webpage I found out that Craft & Common is a coffee shop. Months go by, I told my boyfriend about it everyday I…

Best Crab in Daytona Beach – Crab Stop
Do you ever feel hangry for crab (especially when you’re in Florida)? This is the type of hangry that I call, “crabby”. While I could just go to Red Lobster for some delicious crab legs, instead I drive an hour North West (which means I have to take the dreaded I-4) to Daytona. Located just past NASCAR on the International Speedway lies Crab Stop. Crab Stop is a tiny restaurant that looks like it could have been an old iHop or Waffle House. It’s not fancy (I mean, it’s located just off the beach!), it’s certainly not Red Lobster, but it has the best crab I have ever had in…

Datz Dough – Best Food in Tampa, FL
On a trip to St. Petersburg for a Red Sox game, I took a quick detour to Tampa. In one of my many Instagram scrollings, I found a bakery called Dough. Dough is the sister restaurant of a local favorite, Datz, which serves all your foodie favorites. Dough serves everything from doughnuts to beautiful cakes and coffee. Datz Dough is the combined of the two, as the buildings are interconnected. Since the baseball game was in the afternoon I figured why not stop for some sweet treats for breakfast? From all the I great things I read when looking into Dough more, I knew it would not disappoint. Dough’s theme…

Loic Bakery in West Palm Beach
Loic Bakery first appeared in my pineapple post in the form of a beautiful banana leaf wall. If you are looking for a breath of fresh air (or a mouthful of fresh bread) I would highly recommend Loic. Loic Bakery is located in West Palm Beach, Florida. They pride themselves on having the freshest ingredients, so even those with a gluten sensitivity can enjoy their delicious food. West Palm Beach has become one of my favorite places to visit on the weekends since moving to Orlando, because it’s close to my home town. I started going mostly for the West Palm Beach Greenmarket, but since the 2017-2018 season ended I…
