Giveaway Winner + Shopbop Sale (With My Top Picks for Theme Park Wear) + Calypso St. Barth Sale!


You know what stinks about doing a giveaway? I personally know most, and like everyone, who entered. I wish you ALL could win!

Alas, there can only be one winner. Out of the eight people who entered (for a total of 21 entries using the various options), the winner of the Lilly Pulitzer headband and Cast Member Exclusive Orange Bird pin is...



Dani!! (Follow her @DaniGanley on Twitter, @SincerelyDaniRose on Instagram, and at her cute blog SincerelyDaniRose.com)

Dani's Dad, Dani, Jeff Lipack and myself at the D23 Expo, August 2015

Dani and I actually met at Destination D here in Orlando in November 2014, and met up again last August at the D23 Expo out in California. In fact, during the Destination D event, she was one of only a handful of lucky people who won a wax figurine from a vintage Disney Toy Factory Mold A Rama machine that was used during the 1964-65 World's Fair, so the girl's got a lucky streak.

Here's a video of the machine in action, in case you're a Disney history nerd like myself and care about these kind of things:


In other news, Shopbop is offering an extra 25% off sale styles with code 25EXTRA. I've pulled some of my favorite pieces that could work for park touring, especially during these hot summer months. 



Theme Park Styles- Shopbob


Calypso St. Barth is offering a whopping 50% off their sale styles. Here are some of my favorites. I'm thinking the rugs need to find their way to my house-- the blue and white for Will's room, and the silver runner for our bedroom.

Congrats again to Dani, thanks to all who entered, and have a wonderful weekend.

Thanks for reading.

Weekend Wear-abouts: Baby Classes + The Boardwalk + More


Hello there. Hope you had a nice weekend. Our was full but fun! 

We started off our Saturday with an all-day Baby Class, all about Labor and Delivery. It was really interesting. 

After the class, we went to Target and got an early dinner in downtown Celebration. We then headed over to the Boardwalk area in WDW to meet up with a couple of friends. 

My friend Amanda (aka Tink) was staying at the Yacht Club and said she had a 'little' gift for Baby Will. She totally undersold herself, because the 'little' gift was a beautiful handmade Haunted Mansion blanket! She created the pattern herself and made the whole thing from scratch. 

John and I have joked that we want to use the creepy 'glowing eyes' wallpaper from the Mansion in our baby nursery, so this was Tink's nod to the idea. We LOVE that it doesn't scream 'Disney,' but is subtle and those 'in the know' will totally get it.  Thanks again, Tink. 

From there, we all walked around to the Boardwalk area to try the new Ample Hills Creamery ice cream parlor. 

PRO TIP: This luscious sundae was $8.50 or so, and comes with three scoops of your choice of ice cream over a piece of butter cake or brownie, and unlimited toppings. John elected to get a milkshake, and while it was yummy, it too was $8.50 and just a standard size. NOT worth the money, in our opinion. Get the sundae instead.

 My sweet friend Amanda from Dixie Delights was staying with her family at the Boardwalk Resort, and she came down to hang and chat for a bit. 

After ice cream and socializing, John and I headed up the road to Fantasia Gardens for some putt putt golf. However, there was a 40 minute wait to start!! Crazy! The CM's informed us that WinterSummerland (just down the road near Blizzard Beach) had a 5 minute wait, so we headed there instead and walked right on to the summer course. 



 We had a really good time, and if you like Christmas music like I do, you'll love hearing it the whole time you're playing. The course was really cute. And I'm not gonna SAY who won, I'm just gonna leave this next picture right here...

Sunday was spent putzing around the house, making a Publix run, lounging by the pool and cozying up on the couch. I mean, I have to break the new blanket in before Will arrives, right? 



That's it for our little weekend. We have a Breastfeeding class this evening, so yay! More baby learnin'! 

I'll be posting a Blog Sale of Lilly Pulitzer items on Wednesday, and a post about our Baby Shower after that, so stay tuned. 

Thanks for reading.
