Oga's Cantina - Hollywood Studios Orlando

Oga's Cantina is located within Galaxy's Edge at Hollywood Studios in Orlando. The whole of Galaxy's Edge is pretty amazing to see. The area and theme are based on the Black Spire Outpost on the Outer Rim planet of Batuu, and for Star Wars fans the opening of this area has been highly anticipated. Sandly all of Disney is closed now due to Covid-19. However Disney did not disappoint when setting the scene for the whole land. From shops, attractions, eating areas, and Star Wars ships (Millennium Falcon anyone?) and droids it was so fun to explore.

Oga's Cantina is a bar. Family friendly? Yes, it's Disney, however, it is not a sit down restaurant. There are few tables and lots of room for standing at the U-shaped bar, or standing height tables. There are drinks both alcoholic and non-alcoholic and a few snack selections. Knowing this I still wanted to go and take a peek. We had reservations, there was a two drink and 45-minute time limit while we were there. Which is more than enough time if you're there with kids and not there to actually have a drink and... well, you know bar stuff. Besides, it's Disney.

Dutch Baby, Brunch Baby

I made this Dutch Baby months ago but I thought it was so pretty so I decided to post it. The recipe is the same as it ever was and you can find those here. Different variations and the original.

Free Friday Week In Review 6/19- 25

Hello Friday! This means that summer is already going by too fast and a week of it is gone. What are you all up to this summer? We're hanging out and having an old school summer and I love it. I hope my plans don't change.

Our bucket list so far:

Pool

Library

Picnics

Parks

Read

Water gun fights

There are some places I'd like to take them as a treat also like Duck Donuts, Nicecream place (I think that's what it's called)

But other than that, we're just hanging out. 

I have a really cute photo of the kids I took on Father's Day but I tend to not post pictures of them too much. SO, just pretend there's cute kids in this picture.

Mmmmm.

I did a little baking...

It's summer so that means more time for fun reading. For all of us.

My oldest started youth group bible study, so I sat outside and had my study. It was gorgeous. The cake was way too sweet and so was the almond milk, I'll stick to homemade. You can find a recipe here on my blog for awesome almond milk.

We're also cleaning!! The girls cleaned their rooms while I washed windows. 

Yay for summer!! What have you all been up to?

Are you on Instagram? Would love to see you there!

Free Friday- Week in review 6/12-6/18

This past week started with the girls finishing their games strong. My middle little's team took first place in their tournament, and finished first in their division in the league, and were highest scoring. So couch, Daddy, bought them all ice cream.

Then I heard the news about Orlando, the shooting at the night club, there was a shooting earlier in the week of a singer, then later in the week the little boy who was drowned by an alligator in a freak accident. Such sad sad news. It was a heartbreaking week.  The rest of the week's pictures seem trivial in the light of all of that. But we live, we carry on, and carry those in pain in our prayers.

Pixie wanted to sleep in the attic. So she made us a little bed, and in the morning my body felt as old as it is. But look how cute?

I made a huge pot of pho, so noodles for days around here. No one complained.

Are you on Instagram? Would love to see you there!

Free Friday- Week in Review 6/5-6/11

There has been a lot of soccer played around here lately, and the weather has been gorgeous. We've had some hot days but overall it's been nice. So sushi, steak, wedding dress, baking, soccer, and more soccer. Here's a little look into our week last week.

Free Friday Week, our week of 5/29-6/4 in review.

YAY for Friday!
We started this week by finishing a Harry Potter marathon that we started the last Friday night. After church and soccer games that is.

I don't think I'll ever tire of these movies or books.

Free Friday Week in Review on Instagram 5/22-5/28

Hello!! It's FRIDAY! I love Fridays. It's also one week closer to school being out for the kids. Are the kids in your area out for the summer? Do any of you all have year round school? This week has been so different as far as weather from the past couple weeks. It's been so sunny and kind of HOT. Well, 80 degrees F but still, HOT.  

One of the biggest things this week is Memorial day. So often I think of how blessed we are that DH came home to us... so many have not. I pray for our Gold star families and think of them often, especially on Memorial day. I hope you all had a great week.

 Here is this past weeks recap:

Two of our children lot a tooth this week. I need to get back to the bank and get another roll of gold coins because that was the last for the roll I had! We don't really do the whole tooth fairy thing. They know I put the money out, but it's still fun!

Free Friday Week 5/15-5/21 in Review

Happy Friday! Here's a recap of our week last week.

 So, last week was Starbucks Happy Hour. We didn't go often, actually we only went twice in the almost three weeks that they held the special. Still it was fun. Except that I ordered Decaf, and I'm pretty sure I was given fully caffeinated coffee. I'm shaking thinking about it!

Free Friday Week 5/8-5/14 in Review

Welcome to another Free Friday. Here are some highlights from last week that I posted on Instagram! If you're on Instagram, come say "hi" I'd love to see your feed! Don't forget to check out some of the accounts I posted below!

The girls reading before bedtime, I love that they love to read, it drives me crazy that they get so sucked in that it's hard to get their attention. I suspect there could be worse problems.

Free Friday- Instagram

Are you on Instagram? I live the ease of Instagram and have come to know some great people there. Sadly with this whole new algorithms thing that may change. But I hope it doesn't.

If you are on Instagram, what do you usually post? If you don't post, what are your favorite accounts? Leave me a comment with your account and your favorite accounts. I'd love to check them out.

 I really just am there to post food pictures, see all the amazing talent out there.

Happy Birthday Jesus!

I know it's Take It Tuesday but Jonas brought 30 inches of snow, at least! So no lunches to post, sorry about that! But I thought I would share the cake I made for Christmas this year.  We usually make a cake for Jesus every year, it's usually the same recipe also. This whole wheat carrot cake. It's the only carrot cake recipe I'll make. It's just that good. I made it without the cheesecake layer, then slathered it with a cinnamon cream cheese frosting. For decoration I printed out a line drawing of Jesus, Joseph and Mary then topped that image with wax paper. I melted some chocolate and outlined/traced the picture. I also did some sheep and a shepard free hand. 

The gold stars are sugar stars I found. It came out pretty cute I think. The kids thought it was cool. I've used this method for cupcake toppers and it works beautifully.

I hope you all are having a wonderful New Year. My children are enjoying a 7 day weekend, and I'm loving every moment we're being blessed with! Did you get a lot of snow?

Big Hero Six Birthday Party Food

I can't believe there's a number nine candle on that top cupcake. What on earth? I just keeps going faster and faster and people keep getting older and growing. These kids. I'm so blessed that they are healthy, happy, and growing. But come on now. Where are all my babies: Sigh.

Spring has SPRUNG!

I can't believe Spring Break has come and gone for the girls. :( We've been keeping busy. My youngest started her first soccer clinic and she loved it. The kids had their Easter Sing at church. The weather is warming up, so that means church picnics start up soon. My children so look forward to that.

So far for Spring break and recently we've been hanging out here.
We went swimming, can you say cold? It was an indoor pool but still. Cold. I didn't go in the water. There is a plus side to having older kids!

We also went to the local gardens to take pictures. It was fun taking pictures there because everything was just starting to bloom. So beautiful!
We also went canoeing, and saw the Cherry Blossoms in the Tidal Basin.

 The girls asked to go out for sushi twice during Spring Break. I wasn't about to argue. 

We also went to the Science and Engineering Festival. So fun. I can't wait to share some of those pictures with you.

What are you up to with the weather being so mild?

Peek-a-boo.

Spring is HERE!

I see signs of Spring! Now I loved all the snow and the snow days. I didn't mind them at all, but if it's going to start warming up, I want some color!

I took these pictures two weeks ago while walking the girls home from school. Little buds, and some blossoms.

God's creation is so beautiful!

I took these pictures at the beginning of April.

Valentine's Day Gifts and Cards

WOW. Talk about waayy behind right? I still wanted to share the Valentine's that the kids gave to their friends this year. 

Pixie handed out these little make your own Snowmen kits. It's funny, because I just happened to have these and the movie Frozen came out so Snowmen were perfect for an Olaf card. I had the pack of the Snowmen from Target's Christmas clearance. The pack of 20 was originally $5, and I got it for $1.25 I made the printable in black and white because I figured the kids could color it in if they wanted to.

Diva gave out these great pencils that have tongue twisters on them from Super Duper Publications. I found the Ventricular, is that the word? Where the image changes when you move the item? These little stars "wink" when moved. Anyway. They were a steal, I found them at Target for 75% off at the Dollar Spot! There was maybe 12 in each bag too! She wrote on the back of each one.

Piglet is BIG into robots and robotics right now, so these sticker packs from Target were PERFECT. She just opened up each one and wrote a message on them for each of her friends.

So those were our Valentine's this year. Simple but still fun, and NO candy!
