Today is my 12 anniversary being married to my awesome hubby. 12 Years. Time sure flies when you’re having fun!

Unfortunately we didn’t do anything exciting today since my hubby had to work. He was able to come by for lunch though during his shift, though so that was fun. I made homemade chicken nuggets, collard greens, cornbread, mac n cheese, and cookies and he was thrilled with that. I think his trainee was happy for some food as well.

I thought since it’s our 12th anniversary, ya’ll would enjoy 12 fun facts about us!

We met at the Mall of Georgia. He worked for security and I was a men’s sales associate for clothing at JC Penney.
Our first date was Waffle House after we got off work.
We both dream of one day owning a Corvette. An old Stingray would be ideal.
We were both really young when we got married (I was only 18) and many people thought we were nuts.
We went to Disney World on our honeymoon and many more times throughout the years.
We got married at Fort Yargo State Park in Winder, GA.
We are both dorks and completely okay with that 🙂
We love going for a drive and figuring out on the way where we are going to go.
The only time we’ve ever been apart was during his week at Police Academy and then in Feb when I went on a ladies retreat.
I’m the crazy spontaneous one, he’s the rational one that tries to keep me level-headed.
We both love to laugh and do crazy things to make each other laugh.
We have a secret word that means “I Love You” to each other. Totally random and made up word, but that’s how we roll.

So there you have it! What’s something random about you and your spouse?

How To Feed Your Family at Disney Without Going Broke

Earlier this month, we took a family trip to Disney World. We were bound and determined to not eat out except once for my birthday during our trip. With a family of 6, it’s really too expensive to eat in the parks. Even if we added a dining plan, it would have been very expensive. As long as you bring a cooler and plan everything in advance on what you will eat on which day, you will find that you can do the same. Here’s what we have done at various resorts in order to save money on food.

Back several kids ago, we were able to stay at All Star Resorts, which is the value resort and least expensive. Now our family size is too large for a regular room. While at the All Star resort, we took a trip without eating out. We simply brought along our toaster oven and our crockpot during that trip. With the toaster oven we were able to make english muffin pizzas, canned biscuits or cinnamon rolls, chicken nuggets, etc. In the crock pot, we could make BBQ, chicken dishes, or really anything!

When we outgrew All Star Resorts, we started staying at the cabins at Fort Wilderness Resort. It was a little more expensive than All Star, but with 6 people, we made up for it with the complete kitchen! In the cabins at Fort Wilderness, you have an oven, stovetop, full size fridge, and microwave. Having all those appliances makes a world of a difference when you can cook a real meal vs eating at the parks.

Now that we bought a popup, we are able to cook all of our own food in the comfort of our own site at Fort Wilderness Campsites. The campsites have a grill and of course you still have whatever appliances that are in your camper. The biggest thing to do is PLAN PLAN PLAN.

During this last trip, we stuck to our “only eating out once” idea. I had to be a little creative, but we made it work! Here’s some things that we brought with us for simple meals:

Breakfast – Bagels with cream cheese, cereal, Belvita Breakfast bars, Eggs and toast, yogurt
Lunch: Peanut Butter Sandwiches, lunch meat sandwiches, leftovers, hamburgers, fruit, chips, snack foods
Dinner: Hamburgers, Hotdogs, BBQ for the crockpot, frozen pizza, cheese quesadillas

We planned it well, too. Such as the hamburgers we brought were the frozen patties. We cooked all of them the first night since they wouldn’t have stayed frozen and then heated up the leftovers for another night. Pretty much everything that needed to be heated could be put on the grill since we didn’t have a microwave. Yep, pizza on the grill, cheese quesadillas on the grill, it all works.

For park days, we packed our lunches to take with us in our big red book bag. We were given no problems about bringing in food, drinks, snacks. Although, they did tell us one of the days that it was a good thing we brought green apples instead of red apples. You know, since Snow White was poisoned by one, they have been banned by the park. The security guard was totally kidding of course, but it gave us a good laugh. We had enough food for 6 people’s lunches and snacks. Really, the red book bag was pretty full with food and never did we have a problem.

To eat our lunch, we’d just find a empty spot to sit down for a few minutes, eat, and then clean up our mess. So much easier than waiting in line, trying to find a table, and paying a ridiculous amount just to feed everyone.

Any of the restaurants or stands that offer fountain drinks will give you free water if you ask.

By the way, here’s the amount of sandwiches it takes to feed our family at lunch:

With a little bit of planning in advance, you can do the same. You also have the option of using GardenGrocer.com to deliver food right to your resort if you are flying in. It’s still much cheaper than eating out!

Has your family ever taken a trip and not eaten out? Do you have any tips to add?

Simple and Delicious Kale Chips

My kids have lately become huge fans of kale chips. They are so simple to make and so healthy for them so I never hesitate to make a batch when requested. We got kale in our last Bountiful Basket so yesterday I chopped it up for kale chips! They were gone within moments!

Simply wash your Kale and remove the stalks by cutting off the leaves. Sometimes I will just chop off the lower stalk and then chop up the rest of the leaves for bit size pieces.
Put all your kale leaves into a ziplock bag and toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil to coat.
Spread on a foiled lined cookie pan and lightly salt with sea salt.
Bake for 10-15 minutes at 350 or until leaves are crisp. Enjoy!

Disney recently announced a “Rock Your Disney Side” 24-Hour, bi-coastal costume party: Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Pluto and 135 of their friends came together to create the ultimate 140 character tweet to mark the countdown to “Rock Your Disney Side: 24-Hours” this Memorial Day Weekend, when guests of Walt Disney World Resort in Florida and Disneyland Resort in California can enjoy select parks for 24 hours nonstop! The Magic Kingdom Park in Florida and Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park in California will be filled with great Disney heroes and villains from 6 a.m., May 23 to 6 a.m., May 24, 2014, local time marking the beginning of a summer of fun at Disney Parks. The celebration will feature several events showcasing the good vs. evil of classic Disney stories including character meet-and-greets throughout the parks, special entertainment, event merchandise, and food and beverage offerings. Along with the entertainment guests have grown to love every day, they’ll discover surprise additions and special events throughout the 24 hours. This event will be similar to the Monstrous Summer event Disney hosted in 2013.

In addition to the May 23rd 24 Hour Magic Kingdom Party, Star Wars Weekends will take place at Disney’s Hollywood Studios where guests can join the Rebellion against the forces of the Empire. Star Wars Weekends is a special event included in the admission price of a Hollywood Studio theme park ticket on select weekends and features appearances by Star Wars celebrities and personalities, autograph sessions, and the largest collection of Star Wars characters to appear in a theme park, anywhere. If you’re a Star Wars fan and have never been to the event, you definitely should check it out.

This year, Disney has introduced several new experiences during Star Wars Weekends, including a nightly event featuring Star Wars characters and a Symphony in the Stars fireworks spectacular. The widely popular Hyperspace Hoopla will not be returning this year. In order to allow more guests to join the fun, a 5th weekend is now being added to Star Wars Weekends 2014. The new event dates are every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from May 16 – June 15, 2014. James Arnold Taylor will return as the event’s official celebrity host. Taylor, a Star Wars Weekends fan favorite, is the voice of hundreds of animated characters, including Obi-Wan Kenobi on “Star Wars: The Clone Wars.”

For 2014, fans can purchase a ticket for the opportunity to have exclusive access to Darth’s Mall one day before it opens to the public. Packages for the Rebel Rendezvous are $250 per person and include a limited edition recruitment pack complete with custom messenger bag, hat, tumbler, lanyard, pin & medal set. Attendees will also have the first opportunity to purchase items being released during the 2014 Star Wars Weekends events, meet & greet opportunities with our Disney Design Group artists, and other Rebel activities.

My Favorite Homeschool Items

This time of year, reality hits for many parents. Their precious little ones will be starting Kindergarten soon. I typically get a ton of emails asking about my favorite homeschool items or curriculum. I figured it would be best to go ahead and do a post to show you my favorite items. Feel free to comment and tell me what you use or any tips that you have.

For the majority of our schoolwork, we use Easy Peasy All in One Homeschool. Ya’ll will love this! It’s completely free and is a curriculum for Preschool all the way through high school! We’ve been using it for a year now and not only am I super impressed with it, the kids are learning much more than they have in years past! And YES, it’s FREE!
If I have a child that is struggling in a certain area or needs a little reinforcement of a subject, I turn to Spectrum Workbooks. There are lots of workbooks for subject like math, test prep, writing, reading, and more.
For math, we have been using Horizons Math the past few years. I like it ok, but we may switch in the near future. If you have recommendations, I’d love to hear them!
We also use XtraMath.org daily with the kids. It’s a great way to reinforce math facts with your children. It’s a huge help since I’m homeschooling multiple children and it can offer the math flash cards that the kids need. Multiplication.com is another great website when your child is old enough for multiplication. CardDroid Math is also a favorite of mine.
We reinforce handwriting with copy work and A Reason for Handwriting.
During the summer, we use Summer Bridge Workbooks just to keep their little minds thinking.
You can also check out this post Top Educational Links For Kids for some more of my favorite sites to enhance learning.

What do you use in your homeschool program? I’d love to hear about the curriculum you love! Leave a comment and tell me about it.

Disney World Isn’t Just For Princesses!

March 14, 2014 By MommyOctopus Leave a Comment

When most people think of Disney, they think of princesses. While there are lots of attractions at Walt Disney World targeted towards princesses, there are plenty for boys and anti-princess girls as well. Here is a compilation of the best character meet and greets, rides, restaurants, and other attractions for non-princess Disney fans.

Animal Kingdom:

Animal Kingdom is probably the best park for the non-princess fan, which is probably why it is my 12 year old stepdaughter’s favorite park. The only princess who meets at this park is Pocahontas. None of the rides or shows are princess themed. If you have little ones, be sure to watch the height requirements on Expedition Everest, Kali River Rapids, Dinosaur, and Primevil Whirl.

Who to see: Russell, Dug, Winnie the Pooh, and Tigger at Discovery Island; Rafiki, Chip, and Dale at Rafiki’s Planet Watch; Baloo and Louie at Upcountry Landing; Mickey and Minnie at Adventures Outpost; and Goofy, Pluto, and Donald at Dinoland USA.

What to see: Mickey’s Jammin’ Jungle Parade, Flights of Wonder, Finding Nemo-The Musical, and It’s Tough to Be a Bug

Other attractions: Wilderness Explorers

Epcot:

Epcot has a good mix of attractions for both princesses and non-princesses. None of the rides are princess themed. If you are avoiding princesses, skip eating at Akershus. Watch the height requirements on Soarin’, Test Track, and Mission Space.

Who to see: Disney Pals (Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Pluto, Donald, and Goofy) at the Epcot Character Spot; Chip and Dale outside the Epcot Character Spot; Mary Poppins, Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, and Alice in Wonderland in the United Kingdom; Duffy the Disney Bear near Showcase Plaza; and Donald Duck in Mexico

What to see: Turtle Talk with Crush, The Circle of Life, Captain EO, illumiNations: Reflections of Earth

Other attractions: Kidcot Fun Stops, Club Cool, and Agent P’s World Showcase Adventure

Hollywood Studios:

Hollywood Studios has a lot of great shows for non-princesses. If you are avoiding princesses, skip seeing Voyage of the Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage. Disney Junior’s Play ‘N Dine at Hollywood and Vine and Disney Junior Live on Stage both feature Sofia the First, but they also feature Jake from Jake and the Neverland Pirates, so you might have to put up with a princess if you have a pirate fan. Watch the height requirements on Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Star Tours, and Rock n’ Roller Coaster.

Who to see: Buzz Lightyear and Woody at Pixar Place; Green Army Man ouside Pizar Place; Frozone and Mr. Incredible, Wreck-It Ralph and Vanellope, Sorcerer Mickey, and Minnie Mouse at The Magic of Disney Animation; Chip ‘n Dale, Donald and Daisy Duck, Pluto and Goofy, and Stitch near the Sorcerer Hat; Indiana Jones near the Indiana Jones Stunt Show; Jake from Jake and the Neverland Pirates in Animation Courtyard; Lightening McQueen and Mater next to Mama Melrose restaurant; Mike Wazowski & Sulley near the Backlot Tour exit; and Phineas and Ferb beside Mama Melrose restaurant.

What to see: Fantasmic, Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular, and Lights, Motors, Action Extreme Stunt Show

Other attractions: The Magic of Disney Animation, Pizza Planet Arcade, and Jedi Training Academy

Magic Kingdom:

The Magic Kingdom is by far the most princess heavy park. If you are avoiding princesses, stay clear of Cinderella’s castle, Princess Fairytale Hall, Enchanted Tales with Belle, Under the Sea-Journey of the Little Mermaid, and Ariel’s Grotto. Watch the height requirements for Tomorrowland Speedway, Stitch’s Great Escape, Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and Goofy’s Barnstormer

Who to see: Alice in Wonderland and the White Rabbit near the Mad Tea Party; Buzz Lightyear next to Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin, Chip ‘n Dale in Frontierland; Donald, Daisy, Minnie, and Goofy at Pete’s Silly Sideshow; Marie and Pluto in the Town Square; Mary Poppins at The Chapeau, Mickey Mouse at the Town Square Theater, Tinkerbell and Periwinkle at Tinkerbell’s Nook; Peter Pan and Wendy near Peter Pan’s Flight; Stitch near Space Mountain; Winnie the Pooh and Tigger near The Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh; and Woody and Jessie near Splash Mountain

What to see: Monster’s Inc. Laugh Floor, Stitch’s Great Escape, Hall of Presidents, Country Bear Jamboree, Mickey’s PhilharMagic, Main Street Electrical Parade, and Wishes Nighttime Specular

Other attractions: Pirate League, The Enchanted Tiki Room, Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade, Tomorrowland Arcade, Swiss Family Tree House, Tom Sawyer Island, and Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom

Disney Side @Home Celebration! #DisneySide

March 12, 2014 By MommyOctopus Leave a Comment

We were proud to be a part of the recent Disney Side@Home Celebrations. Disney sent us a suitcase full of goodies to check out and host a party.

You can see our unveiling of our Disney Side@Home party goodies HERE.

Since we were sent Mickey Mouse Clubhouse stuff, we went for that theme. I did find some princess stuff to decorate some of our yummy fudge cupcakes. Guests were encouraged to dress like their favorite Disney character to show their Disney Side.

We played several rounds of Bingo to become familiar with the different resorts, rides, characters, etc. Kids had a blast looking for the things on their cards.

Next we all got Goofy tattoos.

And then did lots of coloring. Here’s my nephew showing his favorite Disney character.

Finally, we were given a bunch of blank shirts for the kids to design and show their Disney side. This was probably the highlight of the party! “You mean we REALLY get to color on a shirt?” Yep! We had them draw on paper what they wanted on their shirt and then they designed their own shirt. Such unique styles were created!

Here’s everyone with their finished shirts!

All in all a great successful party and it came just in time before we actually went to Disney. I packed the kids shirts so they could wear them in Disney World! For more information about a Disney Side@Home party, click here.

Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort Campground Tips

March 12, 2014 By MommyOctopus 21 Comments

Last week we spent an entire week at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort. We learned a lot during our week stay, especially since this was our first time camping after purchasing a popup. Here are some fun tips and ideas that we learned to make our stay exciting and without spending a ton of extra money.

First, a little about Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort Campground. There are four different categories at the Campsites of Fort Wilderness: tent or pop-up campsites, full hookup campsites, preferred campsites, and premium campsites. The tent or pop-up campsites are only for tents or pop-up vans and include water and electricity. Price for these varies between $55 and $118 per night. The full hookup campsites include a level paved pad campsite (for a camper, RV, motor home, etc.) and electricity, water, and sewer. Price for these varies between $74 and $139 per night. The preferred campsites include a level paved pad campsite and electricity, water, sewer, cable, and high speed internet. Price for these varies between $84 and $149 per night. The premium campsites include a level paved pad campsite in a premium location (closer to recreation, bus stops, etc.) and electricity, water, sewer, cable, and high speed internet. Price for these varies between $91 and $154 per night. All campsites sleep a maximum of 10 people and include a charcoal bbq grill and picnic table and nearby comfort station with laundry facilities, private showers, ice machines, restrooms, and pay phones.

Things to bring:

Towels: Towels are not provided at the Fort Wilderness pools so you’ll need to bring your own for the bathhouse and pool.
Clothesline: The laundry room cost $2 per load to wash and $2 per load to dry. We cut down on having to use this by hanging our towels on the clothesline after pool or shower. If you are planning to wash clothes, don’t forget your detergent! The vending machine has some, but they also come with a price.
S’mores Fixings and Roasters: If you buy them at Disney, you’ll end up paying a fortune. Every night there is a Chip and Dale sing-a-long and marshmallow roast that you’ll want to join. It’s free, except for whatever food you buy, hence bringing your own.
Flashlight or Glowsticks: After dark, it gets REALLY dark at Fort Wilderness. You’ll need a flashlight or glowsticks to keep your group together after those late night park visits.
Charcoal and Lighter: If you plan on using the grill on the site, you’ll need charcoal and a lighter.
Trashbags: Most sites have a trashcan very close by, but it was a touch annoying going to it for every piece of trash.
Folding Chairs: There is a picnic table on each site, but if you want something else to sit in, bring your folding chairs. These also come in handy at the sing-a-long. On busy nights, the seats will fill up quickly.
Extension Cord and long sewage hose: We found that our regular size sewage hose wasn’t long enough and ended up having to go to Walmart for another. The power box sometimes is far away from the sewage area, so make sure you bring long enough ones of both of these.
Broom: The sites are mainly concrete, with the exception of the popup/tent sites, but all seem to have an area of sand. Of course our kids liked to play in the sand and tracked a ton into the popup. This was something we ended up buying while at Walmart for the item above.

Things to Do:

Swimming: Fort Wilderness has a nice size pool, water slide, a kiddie pool, hot tub, and a toddler slide area. There was something for everyone in our family of 6 to do! The pools are heated, so if it’s not a super warm day, the pools still will be warm. Various times during the day, they offer crafts and games by the pool. You can check the schedules when you arrive.

The water slide was great. Everyone from my 3 year old to myself rode it and had fun. It has a red light/green light at the top to show when it is safe for the next rider. For the pool, you’ll want to remember to bring your sunscreen and towels. There is a nice bathhouse by the pool where you can shower or change. There is also a snack bar, picnic tables, and even an “outpost” store.

Chip and Dale Sing-a-Long: As I mentioned above, you’ll definitely want to bring your own fixings for S’mores. This was one of our kids favorite things. They start off with marshmallow roasting and then a cowboy leads everyone in songs. Funny story, my 4 year old asked us if it was time to “marsh” the “mallows”. LOL. So I think forever we will be referring to roasting as “marshing”. During the sing-a-long, they encourage everyone to dance and sing a long, but not to run up to Chip and Dale. During the songs, they wander through for photo opportunities and autographs.

After the Sing-a-Long, they offer an outdoor movie. This varies every night.

Rentals: You can rent bikes, golf carts, canoes, fishing, or tennis equipment. We opted to not rent a golf cart, although many many people had them. The carts ran around $59 per day plus tax and I just didn’t feel we’d use it that much plus walking is great exercise. There were times that we had to wait a bit for a bus, but I don’t feel like we missed out on anything great by not having a cart. I just couldn’t justify that extra expense when the buses and our feet/strollers worked just fine.

Random Tips:

Get to know the bus loops. In Fort Wilderness, there are 3 loops – orange, yellow, and purple. In order to get to the Magic Kingdom, you must ride the bus to the back to the Settlement Depot and from there walk to the Marina and get the boat. To get to the other parks, you’ll ride the bus to the front toward the Outpost Depot and catch the park bus. Make sure you get on the right way or you’ll find yourself on an extra long bus ride.
Take time to visit the Trading Posts. They are actually fun to look around, have checker games to play, and often do pin trading.
Schedule time during your trip to stay in the campground. There are so many free things to do there. My kids love playing on their playgrounds and just exploring the grounds and pools.
Pony rides are available for $5 during the day. It’s a fun thing to do, however there are maximum heights and my 7 year old and 10 year old were too tall. The 3 and 4 year olds loved it.
In the evenings, you can take a carriage ride or hay ride around the campground. It’s fun, but costs. $45 per carriage ride (holds probably 4-8 people/children), $5 per child on hay ride and $8 per adult.
At 9:45pm, be at the marina and find a seat in the sand to watch the electric water parade. This is short but cute. It’s probably one of my favorite things and I love the music. Afterward, you can remain on the beach and watch the fireworks from the Magic Kingdom.

This was definitely my favorite place to stay out of all the ones that we had stayed. We will be back!

All About Disney’s Memory Maker Photo Package

March 10, 2014 By MommyOctopus Leave a Comment
By clicking my links, I may earn a small commission to support this blog. Please see our Disclosure Policy.

Walt Disney World recently replaced PhotoPass and PhotoPass+ with a new photography package called Memory Maker. Here is everything you need to know about how to use Memory Maker.

Memory Maker can be purchased in advance (up to 3 days prior to arrival) for $149.00. If Memory Maker is not purchased at least 3 days in advance, any photos taken within the 3 day time period will not be included. If Memory Maker is purchased at the parks, the price is $199.00.

Once it is purchased, guests can link their Memory Maker package to their My Disney Experience account. Guests will need to make sure that any family and friends they would like to share their photos with digitally are linked to their My Disney Experience account. Once guests are in the parks and ready to have their photograph taken, they will simply have the photographer scan their magic band or Memory Maker card. Guests’ photos will then be downloaded to their My Disney Experience account. Guests will also be able to link on-ride attraction photos at the counter where they can currently be viewed with Memory Maker. Guests dining at Chef Mickey’s, Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue, Tusker House breakfast, ‘Ohana breakfast, 1900 Park Fare, and Spirit of Aloha dinner show will also receive digital copies of their dining pictures with Memory Maker. Guests will have 45 days to view and save their photos. A back-up CD of photos can also be purchased for $29.95.

Personally, I am on the fence on how I feel about the Memory Maker. I love the fact that you can instantly view your photos and that it includes your on-ride attraction photos and dining photos. However, $149.00 is a bit pricy and I could easily ask a Photopass photographer to take a picture of my whole family in front of Cinderella’s Castle with my own camera.

If you are interested in trying Memory Maker, you can try it for FREE! Guests who book a package from August 15-September 30 for at least 3 nights with 2-Day tickets will get the new Memory Maker free. Prices start from just $899 plus tax for a family of 3 at a Disney Value Resort

Have you tried Memory Maker yet? Was it worth the money? I would love to hear your thoughts!

After spending a week at Disney, we are back! I honestly planned to post more or share more of our adventures, but ended up having way too much fun. It was an incredible week with lots of wonderful memories made. I will be posting random tidbits, tips, and pictures from our trip throughout the next couple weeks.

For now, on to catching up and getting the laundry done 🙂
