Happy Friday friends!

Guess who just uploaded the first of many Disney Travel vlogs, this gal. That’s right, I’m going to try and overcome some of my shyness and put these family videos out there. I hope you’ll tune in to enjoy. Every Monday at 10am I’ll be posting a new Disney vlog until I have no more vlogs to share…considering I have many trips to vlog about (like trips from 2015 and 2016) I don’t think I’ll be running out anytime soon!

So head over to my YouTube channel (With Love From Bex) subscribe, watch, and tune in each week. Here’s this week’s episode!

Enjoy!

Hello friends!

Our house is slowly getting ready for Easter. I say slowly because we are all getting over one heck of a cold…and sinus infection….not fun. Lots of antibiotics and hot water with lemon and honey. I should have bought stock in lemons and honey…Anyways today I wanted to share a recipe that has been a family favourite for years. Portuguese Sweet Bread, or as we say in our household, Massa. This bread is sweet, and tastes amazing with a little bit of butter, not to mention it smells amazing.Read More

Writing Series: What is your favourite quote?

Today’s blog challenge actually took me a while…there are so many quotes that I have identified with at different points in my life. Quotes are like song lyrics and musical notes to me, I connect to them depending on what’s happening in my life and my moods. So I did what any other millennial would do, and checked my facebook About page for quotes that I had forgotten about until now….yup that happened….

This is what I found,

“Before anyone can fight for you, you must learn to fight for yourself.”

Live your life knowing that the best is yet to come 🙂

“If this is not what you expected, please alter your expectations.”

“The very things that hold you down are going to lift you up!” ~ Dumbo

“In Germany, they first came for the Communists; I did not speak because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the Jews; I did not speak because I was not a Jew. Then they came to fetch the workers, members of trade unions; I was not a trade unionist. Afterward, they came for the Catholics; I did not say anything because I was a Protestant. Eventually, they came for me, and there was no one left to speak.”
-Pastor Martin Niemoller, a Protestant minister imprisoned during Germany’s Third Reich

“Thou shalt not be a victim. Thou shalt not be a perpetrator. Above all, thou shalt not be a bystander.”
– Holocaust Museum, Washington, D.C.

After reading them, I have to say these might still be my favorite. Each one touches a part of my personality and became mantras for some very rough times.

Do you have a favorite quote?

What’s in our Easter basket?

Hello Friends,

With Easter quickly approaching I figured I would share we the Easter Bunny will be leaving Wendy for Easter this year. Since Wendy is only 6 months (wow she is growing up so fast), I didn’t want to include any chocolate or candy in her basket. I think it’s a total waste and we also don’t want to start her down the road of junk food. After talking to Chris, I think we are in agreement that we will stick to this idea of a no candy basket.

Writing Series: Day 3 – What do I collect?

So today’s question was ‘what do you collect?’ The simple answer to that question is a lot. I do collect a number of different things, probably because I enjoy a number of different things. But I’ll only focus on one thing in this blog, just to keep it on the shorter side. I collect Disney pins. Funny enough, the other day I actually pulled out most of my pins. I’m stumped as to how I should display them. So alas I set them down on the kitchen table….

Like I said before, this isn’t all of my pins, I have even more now since we got back from Florida. Not pictured are my 100+ trader pins….okay okay maybe I have a problem…maybe….maybe not. I was first made aware of my potential addiction back in 2005 while I was shopping at my local Disney store. That’s when I saw it, the one pin that started it all.

Anyone that knows me, knows that I love Eeyore. He is everything. Anyways, I bought this medium sized pin and after that, I had a problem. I read up everything I could about Disney pins. I was introduced to the wonderful world of pin trading and pin purchasing. It’s been glorious. While I haven’t traded a pin in the last two trips, I do enjoy trading with Cast Members. I haven’t traded with another collector, ever. I’m always afraid of trading a scrapper (fake pin) by accident and I’m notoriously shy so yeah. Cast members don’t turn me away and I can always find something I want on their trading boards.

So over the years, I have come to look for certain pins. I don’t collect all pins, I collect holiday pins, Eeyore pins, Star Wars pins, and special or limited edition pins. Oh and any pin I think is cute or appeals to me. I’m guessing by now you want to see some of these pins, well here they are.
